If giving Stars is a friendly wave, a Bud Bomb is a full-on fireworks display. Bud Bombs are the most dramatic, most celebratory thing you can do in someone's Galaxy — and when one goes off, everyone notices.
How It Works
Here is the Bud Bomb breakdown:
- Cost — 10 Orbs per Bud Bomb
- How to send — Tap a friend's planet, hit Send Bud Bomb from their Friend Card
- Blast Note — Optionally write a message (up to 50 characters) during the send flow — it displays during the explosion
- The effect — A full-screen takeover on your friend's Galaxy for 5 seconds
When a Bud Bomb lands, your friend's Galaxy screen is completely taken over by an explosive celebration. We are talking confetti, fireworks, colorful particle effects, and your Blast Note displayed front and center. For five full seconds, their entire Galaxy becomes a party, and they cannot miss it.
When to Use Bud Bombs
Bud Bombs are special because they cost Orbs, so you want to use them intentionally. Here are the best moments:
- Birthday celebrations — Nothing says "happy birthday" like a full Galaxy takeover
- Achievement milestones — Your friend hit GOAT phase? Bud Bomb them immediately
- Streak milestones — 100-day Streak? That deserves an explosion
- Just because — Sometimes you just want to make someone's day. No reason needed
- Orbit wins — Celebrate their leaderboard victory with maximum drama
The Receiver's Experience
From your friend's perspective, a Bud Bomb is unforgettable. They are chilling in their Galaxy when suddenly the entire screen erupts. Confetti rains down, fireworks pop off, and your message appears in big, bold text. For five seconds, nothing else exists — just your celebration. Then the Galaxy fades back in, and they are left with a huge smile.
Pro Tips
- Write a Blast Note that actually means something. "Happy birthday legend" hits way harder than just "hey" — and you have 50 characters to work with
- Time your Bud Bombs for when your friend is likely online for maximum real-time impact
- Bud Bombs are visible in the Bomb Log, so your friend can revisit the message later if they want to relive the moment
Good to Know
At 10 Orbs each, Bud Bombs are a premium action. They are designed to be rare and meaningful, not spammed constantly. This intentional cost keeps them special. When someone sends you a Bud Bomb, you know they spent real resources on you, and that is what makes it hit different.
