Description

Wipe out your opponent's bombs on a 5 by 6 grid. Players take turns placing a bomb in an empty square or one of their own. A corner explodes on its second bomb, an edge on its third and a middle square on its fourth, each sending bombs into its neighbours and capturing them, so one move can engulf much of the board. The lead seesaws until someone is wiped out.

Controls: The stick moves the cursor; fire places a bomb.
