How To Play
Please note: This is a multiplayer-only game. You can run it on a local server or play on an online server.
You can make your own arenas now. Use: The Arena Editor. Arenas are distributed as mods. Once you have made arenas, contact me to include them on my server and maybe in the main Blockbomber game release.
Controls
Move with your arrow keys.
Place a bomb with your sneak
key (Set to shift
by default on PC).
Throw a bomb that you are standing in with space
(if you have “spring”).
Punch a bomb with the Left Mouse Button
(if you have “fist”).
Goal
The goal is to be the last player standing. Accomplish this by collecting the good powerups to increase your abilities, avoiding the bad ones, placing bombs strategically at the right place at the right time, and not falling.
Warning: Falling is based on center, not on hitbox. Watch out!
You can move through other players, but you cannot move through bombs.
Powerups
Good
Stackable:
- Bomb: the more bombs you have, the more you can place at once!
- Tnt: The more of these you have, the larger your bombs’ blasts will be!
- Shoes: You start out a bit slow. Get shoes to get faster, but take care you dont get too fast and fall off!
