Blast Grid

Lay bombs in a tile maze, blow open the walls, and catch your rivals in a cross of flame.

How to play

Move through a grid of destructible and solid walls, dropping bombs that detonate into a cross of flame. Blast through soft walls to open routes and reveal power-ups, and time your bombs to catch enemies in the explosion — while never standing in your own blast radius.

• Bombs explode in a plus-shaped flame; the flame is stopped by solid walls.
• Destroy soft walls to find power-ups that lengthen your blast and let you carry more bombs.
• Trap opponents in the flame while keeping your own escape route clear.

Controls

• Desktop: Player 1 uses WASD with Q or Shift to bomb; Player 2 uses the Arrow keys with Enter or '.' to bomb.
• Phone & tablet: on-screen movement and bomb buttons make it playable by touch.

Game modes

• Campaign — clear stages of computer enemies.
• Versus AI — duel the computer at adjustable difficulty.
• Versus 2P — local hot-seat battle; plus an online option.

Tips & strategy

• Always drop a bomb knowing exactly which way you'll flee — never box yourself into the blast.
• Open up the soft walls early to collect power-ups before the fights get tight.
• Herd opponents into dead ends, then seal them in with a well-placed bomb.

Origins

Blast Grid revives the grid-bombing maze game that became a multiplayer staple from the mid-1980s on — lay bombs that explode in a cross of flame to blast soft walls and rivals alike, collecting power-ups to widen your blast. Endlessly imitated, and best with friends.
