How to Play Bomber - Game Guide

🎯 Game Objective

Your mission is simple but not easy: eliminate all enemies on each stage to reveal the exit door, then escape to the next stage.

1

Place Bombs

Drop bombs near soft blocks and enemies. Bombs explode after a few seconds, destroying everything in their blast radius.
2

Destroy Soft Blocks

Break the brown soft blocks to reveal hidden power-ups and the exit door. The exit is always hidden under one of them!
3

Eliminate All Enemies

Every enemy must be destroyed before the exit door will open. Lure them into bomb blasts or trap them in corners.
4

Reach the Exit

Once all enemies are gone, the exit door opens. Walk into it to advance to the next stage. Don't bomb the exit early—it spawns tough enemies!

👾 Enemy Types

Eight unique enemies, each with different speeds and behaviors. Learn their patterns to survive.

The slowest and simplest enemy. Wanders randomly without any pursuit behavior. Perfect for learning bomb timing.

Slow

Medium speed with occasional pursuit. Will sometimes turn toward you when aligned horizontally or vertically.

Medium Sometimes pursues

Medium speed with predictable movement. Changes direction at random intersections but doesn't actively chase you.

Medium

Fast and semi-intelligent. Often turns toward you when you're in line of sight. Requires quick reflexes to avoid.

Fast Sometimes pursues

Slow but dangerous—can pass through soft blocks! Your walls won't protect you. Use hard blocks for cover instead.

Slow Wall Pass

Medium speed with active pursuit AI. Tries to find the shortest path to you. Don't let it corner you!

Medium Active pursuit

Fast and aggressive hunter. Actively seeks you out with smart pathfinding. Keep moving and use traps.

Fast Active pursuit

The ultimate threat: fast, pursues aggressively, AND passes through walls. Appears when you bomb the exit or take too long.

Fast Wall Pass Active pursuit

⚡ Power-ups

Hidden under soft blocks, power-ups permanently upgrade your bomber. Collect them all to become unstoppable.

Fire Up

Increases your bomb's explosion range by 1 tile in each direction. Stack multiple for massive blasts!

Bomb Up

Allows you to place one additional bomb at a time. More bombs = more destruction = faster clears.

Speed Up

Increases your movement speed. Essential for escaping your own bombs and outrunning fast enemies.

Wall Pass

Walk through soft blocks! Creates escape routes and shortcuts. Invaluable for survival.

Bomb Pass

Walk through your own bombs. No more trapping yourself in corners!

Remote Control

Bombs no longer auto-explode. Press the bomb key again to detonate on command. Perfect timing, perfect kills.

Mystery

Grants temporary invincibility! Walk through enemies without dying. The effect wears off after a short time.

💡 Pro Tips & Strategies

Survival comes from strategy, not luck. These tips will help you progress further.

Always plan your escape

Before placing a bomb, know where you'll run. Getting trapped by your own bomb is the #1 cause of death for new players.

Use corners wisely

Enemies can be trapped in corners. Place a bomb at the corner entrance, then run. They can't escape the blast.

Don't bomb the exit early

Bombing an unrevealed exit spawns dangerous Phantom enemies. Find and reveal it, but don't bomb it until you're ready to leave.

Prioritize Fire Up early

Longer range makes everything easier—you can hit enemies from safety and clear blocks faster. It's the most valuable early power-up.

Watch the timer

Taking too long on a stage spawns Phantoms—the deadliest enemies. Keep moving and stay aggressive.

Learn enemy patterns

Each enemy type moves differently. Blobs are random, but Prowlers actively hunt you. Adapt your strategy to the enemy mix.

Hard blocks are your friends

Gray hard blocks can't be destroyed—and wall-passing enemies can't go through them either. Use them as permanent safe zones.

Chain reactions are powerful

Bomb explosions trigger other bombs. Set up chains to clear large areas at once—especially useful against groups of enemies.
