How to play

  1. Bombs explode after about two seconds. Stone blocks stop blasts; wooden crates break and stop that blast ray.
  2. Flames ignite other bombs immediately. Gold upgrades extend range; mint upgrades increase simultaneous bombs.
  3. Solo: survive until every rival is eliminated. Local: the final survivor wins. A 180-second limit ends an unfinished round.

Make your move

  • Space drops a bomb.
  • Touch or mouse: hold the labeled on-screen direction and action buttons.
  • Choose Solo or Local 2 players in settings before starting. To change mode later, restart first. P2 uses WASD and F; artillery players can share P1 controls.
  • Stage progress is saved in this browser. Pause, reload and language changes preserve the current round. Physical devices have not been verified.

A small head start

  • Find a turn before planting your first bomb.
  • A chain reaction can make a long timer explode early.
