 ▶ Basic Rules

The last person to remain uncaptured wins!

Run around the map, plant bombs, and destroy terrain to collect ITEMS and POWER-UPS. If another player walks into the path of your bomb's explosion, they are captured!

Moving Around

Use your arrow keys to navigate around the map.
You can only move where there is no blocking terrain.

Placing and Using Bombs

Place bombs by pressing the spacebar.
Bombs explode in a straight line both vertically and horizontally from the starting point. Any terrain that is directly adjacent to the bomb explosion is destroyed, revealing whatever was inside. Bomb blasts also destroy anything that is on the ground in the area of the blast.

Capturing Other Players

When your bomb blast touches another player they get trapped inside of a bubble and can't move. To capture them walk over the space where they're trapped. If you're playing a team game make sure to capture opponents you've trapped quickly because if their teammate reaches them first they're released.

Using Game Items

Items are found under destroyed terrain. Walk over them to pick them up.

1. Powerups take effect immediatly when picked up, and increase one of your Character Powers for the duration of the game.
2. Special Items go into your inventory when picked up and are used by presing the number key assigned to them.
3. Status Modifiers transform you into something else, take effect as soon as you get them, and last for 30 seconds.

Bubble Gum:
Place on map to slow down player who steps on it.
Magic Fork:

Wins and Ties

To win the game you must be the last uncaptured player on the map. If more than one player is left uncaputred when time runs out, a tie is declared. When playing on teams, both players on the opposing team must be eliminated to win.

Fairy Princess Alana

Born to Queen Titania, Alana had enjoyed a sheltered life, with dreams of marriage soon to be fulfilled by her engagement to the brave and handsome Sir Banning. Unfortunately, right before the wedding, her favorite sister, Cailin, was kidnapped by the dread pirate Abir. Determined to rescue her sister before her wedding, Alana picked up her family's hereditary magic wand and stole away on a quest to recover her sister.

Dread Pirate Abir

As a child, Abir was sold as a slave to work sweeping stables. Unhappy with his lot, one day he stole a horse and escaped to the countryside. Pursued by the queen's guards, he was injured and lost his right eye. Left for dead, Abir was picked up by a kind fisherman and nursed back to health. He learned everything he could from the old fisherman, and then decided to get revenge on the queen by starting his own pirate gang and raiding the queen's city. One morning, as he was sharpening his trusty saber, Abir was startled to notice the queen's youngest daughter walking alone by the harbor. Capturing her was almost too easy, but training her as a little pirate had so far proved unsuccessful.

Brave Sir Banning

Brave Sir Banning gained renown by protecting the surrounding countryside from brigands and bandits. As a reward for his devoted services to the realm, he was offered to marry the Queen's daughter Alana. As he was coming to the castle to claim his bride, he was informed that she had run off to rescue her sister. Determined to to thwart the Dread Pirate Abir and ensure the safety of his prospective bride, Sir Banning saddled his fastest horse, and picking up his trusty magic lance, set off after his quarry.

Cunning Witch Yrsa

Cunning Witch Yrsa rubbed her crystal ball urging it to show her the girl who would be her apprentice. She was getting old and needed someone to help sweep her cottage and gather all the ingredients for her magic cauldron. The crystal ball focused, and in it she saw the story of Alana, Caitlin, Abir and Banning unfold. She cackled, thoughts of how she could use this to her advantage running through her wizened head. Gathering up her trusty magic broom, she set out from the house, intending to intercept Abir, claim Caitlin as her apprentice, and in the meantime, foul the marriage of Banning and Alana.
