Chia Bomber 2, the game where you purposely launch water balloons from a bazooka at those that would dare stand in your presence. In the game you play your average little pet named Geoffrey Chia who's busy fighting back against an assault from dozens of Chia Bombers bent on generally making a mess of his neighborhood.
Instructions
You control Geoffrey with the arrow keys on your keyboard, shoot his gun with the space bar, and place his mines by pressing M.
Mines, once you drop them, stay where they are until a Bomber happens to find and step on one. Any enemy bomber that touches a mine will be destroyed immediately, regardless of the bomber's colour. You are able to walk over mines you've placed without any issues, however, the Chia Bombers can drop their own mines which will take a life from you if you touch them.
You have an unlimited amount of water balloons with which to fire, but only have 5 mines per level.
You have three lives per game, but can get a fourth using a cheat code. You lose a life if you touch another bomber, touch one of their mines, or get hit by one of their shots.
Super soaked!
Bombers
There are a total of five different types of Chia Bombers, each colour meaning a different number of shots to finish off. When you hit one, they'll downgrade to the Bomber listed before it, unless it's a Green in which case it'll have just been defeated.
Green: 1 hit point
Blue: 2 hit points
Yellow: 3 hit points
Red: 4 hit points
Black: 5 hit points
Levels
Each level has a different composition of enemy colours. The first 10 levels have 8 enemies, while the 11th has 9, and the 12th has 10. Additionally, the shot range of the bombers increases at level 6, and again at level 12.

Scoring
When you win a level, you earn 10 points for every bomber that appeared on that level. If you lose a life, you do not get points for any bombers you defeated, unless it is your last life, in which case you do get 10 points for every bomber you defeated.
On top of this, at the end of the game you will get 3 bonus points for every bomber you defeated with a balloon and 2 bonus points for every bomber you defeated with a mine. You earn these bonus points for all bombers defeated at any point, regardless of when you lose your lives.
Finally, if you complete all 12 levels, you will receive a bonus of 100 points for every life you have remaining.
There is no bonus for accuracy, so feel free to shoot out your balloons as often as you want!
There are 10 levels with eight enemies, plus 1 level with nine enemies, and 1 level with ten enemies. This means you have a base point total of 10 * (8 * 10) + 9 * 10 + 10 * 10 = 990. If you killed all 99 of these bombers with balloons, you would get 99 * 3 = 297 additional bonus points, bringing your total up to 1,287. If you use the cheat code to get an extra life, and don't lose any lives throughout the 12 levels, you get an additional 100 * 4 = 400 bonus points, making a perfect score of 1,687, a number you will often see crowding the top of the high scores!
Tips
Type geoffrey any time in-game, even if between levels, and you'll get an extra life.
Before you blast the last bomber on a level, go to the very top row and then finish him off up there. Before you start the next level, hold down the right arrow key. As soon as the level begins Geoffrey will start at the top-left corner of the screen, letting you fire away right at the top right corner.
In the first three levels, set up Geoffrey in the lower left or right hand corners. Place two or three mines (depending on level) on either side of him. That way you are safe on all sides as you are in a corner. You can easily shoot Chia Bombers heading your way, and if you happen to miss, they will hit a mine and explode. Sometimes, you can be attacked by multiple Chia Bombers and will lose a life, but this is rare. (Thanks to lilpenguin11M for this tip!)
