Game Play

A player starts the game boxed into a corner of the screen. By dropping bombs that explode a few seconds later, eventually a clear path will be made that leads to enemies that were also boxed into sections of the screen. When a player clears the blocks, power-ups are uncovered such as more bombs (the player can lay multiple bombs at once), moving faster, controlled bomb detonation (the player can detonate bombs using the B button), expanded blast zone (the blast travels farther) and extra players. There are also eggs that a player can "hatch" which produce a bird the character can ride on. The bird allows you to take an additional hit from an enemy or bomb blast without losing a life.

After all the enemies have been cleared from a particular screen and the player has found the "escape hatch", the player can exit the screen. There is a time limit for each screen of three minutes that can be extended by finding the appropriate power-up. Points are awarded after exiting the screen based upon how much time is left; more time equals more bonus points.
