Blast Zone guide

Goal

Be the last player standing. Drop bombs to blow up destructible walls and trap your rivals in the blast. When only one player is left alive, they win the match. If the final players fall on the same tick, it is a draw.

Controls

• WASD or Arrow keys to move - hold two keys for 8-way diagonal movement.
• Space to place a bomb on your current tile.
• R to detonate your remote bombs (only after you grab the Remote power-up).

Bombs and Blasts

• A bomb explodes about 3 seconds after you place it (unless it is a remote bomb).
• The blast shoots in a cross - up, down, left and right - stopped by solid walls.
• Blasts destroy destructible walls, kill players, and chain-detonate other bombs they touch.
• You can only have a limited number of bombs out at once until you find Bomb Up power-ups.

Power-ups

Destroyed walls sometimes drop a power-up - walk over it to collect it:

• Bomb Up - carry one more bomb at a time.
• Flame Up - your blasts reach one tile further.
• Speed Up - move faster around the arena.
• Shield - absorbs the next blast that would kill you (one use).
• Remote - your bombs no longer auto-explode; detonate them on demand with R.
• Mega Bomb - your next bomb has a huge blast radius.
• Ghost - walk through walls and bombs for ten seconds.

Winning

The round ends when one player remains alive, or when the match timer runs out. A player who disconnects or leaves is eliminated - the match continues if others are still alive, and only ends once a single survivor (or a draw) remains.

Tips

• Never stand next to a bomb you just placed - step away before it blows.
• Use walls as cover; blasts cannot travel through solid walls.
• Chain your bomb into an opponent's bomb to catch them off guard.
• Save your Shield for an escape - do not waste it walking into your own flame.
