Bomb Sweeper

This is a clone of Nintendo's Game & Watch "BombSweeper" from 1987.

It's a simple, addictive puzzler. You are John Solver, fearless bomb

squad person, who has to save the city from Jack, a demented criminal

who is trying to blow it all up with his bombs.

Overview of features

--------------------

- Mimics graphics/gameplay/sound from original BombSweeper game, with

a few enhancements

- 26 of the original levels included, 73 new ones, for a total of

99 levels

- Make your own levels with the built-in, easy-to-use level editor!

Up to 99 different levels can be stored simultaneously

- Demo mode, where I walk through 12 of the levels :)

- Hidden key combo enables level selection cheat (who will be the first

to find it?)

Gameplay

--------

Each level is a maze, where you have to move around walls (using the

D-pad) in order to find a path to the bomb. You can only move a wall

when it's not blocked by a neighbour wall. If you don't make it in

time, or you make the wrong moves, the bomb will explode and you lose

a life. The faster you reach the bomb, the more points you get.

When you reach 50,000 points, you are awarded an extra life.

If, at any time, you realize you've put yourself in a jam and are

unable to complete a level, you can hold down SELECT, then press START

to make the bomb explode on purpose (so you don't have to wait for the

timer to hit zero). You'll still lose a life, of course.

Using the level editor

----------------------

Use the D-pad to move.

The A button toggles the horizontal wall at the current position.

The B button toggles the vertical wall at the current position.

Toggling a wall at the level border will cause a bomb to be placed there.

Max. 8 bombs per level.

Push START to save the level, including John Solver's starting position.

If you're using an emulator, you can make a savestate or RAM dump to

save your levels permanently (they will be erased from CPU memory

when the game is reset/unloaded).

When test playing the level, hold SELECT, then press START to exit to

the design menu.
