About Bomber

Clear a fortress with carefully placed bombs. Break crates, collect useful charms and escape each blast before it reaches you. Your own explosions are as dangerous as the creatures you are hunting.

How to play

Goal
Burn out every creature in the chamber, then find the hatch and step through it.
How it ends
The chamber is cleared when you step into the open hatch; the run is lost when your last life is lost to a blast, a creature, or the Cinder Reavers who come when time runs out.
Record
For every chamber, the ten best scores and the ten fastest clears, each proved by replaying the run.
  1. Walk with the arrow keys, WASD or the on-screen pad; lay a charge with Space (or the Charge button).
  2. Step out of the charge's cross before it bursts: two cells each way, stopped by pillars and crates. Crates break and drop charms; walk over a charm to take it.
  3. Burn out every creature, find the hatch under a crate and step onto it before the time runs out.
