When all enemies are destroyed the player automatically goes to the next stage. Items are lost after each stage, reducing the inventory to one bomb, and the default blast radius and walking speed. There are six worlds with six levels in each; after every fifth level there is a Bonus Stage, wherein soft blocks contain many points items and power ups.
In Japan, Game Machine listed Bomber Man World on their July 15, 1992 issue as being the tenth most-successful table arcade unit of the month, outperforming titles such as King of the Monsters 2 and Football Frenzy. In North America, RePlay reported in the game to be the eighth most-popular arcade game of the month in October 1992. Play Meter also listed the title to be the forty-sixth most-popular arcade game at the time.

Gary Harrod of British magazine Sinclair User praised the visuals and gameplay, stating that "this may be a simple formula game but it's still good fun to play".
