Bomberman

Summary

• Bomberman is a game where to 2-8 players compete against each other in an enclosed arena by dropping bombs
• If a player is blown up in any way (from another player's bomb, their own bomb, or by an environmental effect) they are eliminated from the match

Bomberman Arenas

While each arena type varies in size, all are oriented in that they are divided into rows and columns separated by Impassable Dividers that players cannot enter or affect in any way. We currently have two types of Bomberman Arenas available:

• 2-4 Player (Small) Arena
• 4-8 Player (Large) Arena

Playing the Game

Starting

• When a Bomberman Match starts, each player will be teleported to a randomized outer row location in that Arena

Bomberman Hotbar

• Each player will also have a Bomberman Hotbar appear on their screen which shows an overview of their current Stats in game, but also features optional buttons to Place Bombs and Activate Detonators (if they have any)
• If a player closes their Hotbar, they can type [BombermanHotbar to reopen it

Bomberman Powerups

Random items appear in the arena that players can pick up

Bomberman Power Ups
Speed Boots
Bomb Radius	Increases the Radius (spread) of Bombs by 1
Bomb Cooldown	Reduces Bomb Cooldown (time needed for Comb Count to reset to max) by 0.5 seconds
Bomb Count	Increase Max Bomb Count by 1
Detonator	This is a single-use Power Up that can be activated by the player to cause all of their current Bombs in the arena to immediately explode (rather than having to wait for the normal 3 seconds explosion delay for them) Players can acquire multiple Detonators (represented by the number in the Hotbar) Players can activate a Detonator by typing [Detonator or clicking the Detonate Button in the Hotbar If a player activates a Detonator while they have no bombs currently in the arena, that Detonator will be wasted
Random Power Up	When acquired, typically resolve as a randomized, positive Upgrade for the player Increased Bomb Count Increased Bomb Radius Increased Bomb Cooldown Increased Detonator Count However, Random Upgrades will sometimes resolve as a "Negative" Upgrade for the player and instead reduce a random stat on the player and will display overhead in Red Text and have a (-) symbol Summon a Crate Spawn Reduced Bomb Count Reduced Bomb Radius Reduced Bomb Cooldown Reduced Detonator Count Reduced Movement Speed for 10 seconds

Movement

• Players cannot shove past other players during Bomberman
• Players cannot walk through Wooden or Steel Crates

Using Bombs

• Players can Place Bombs by typing [Bomb or clicking the Bomb Bag button in their Hotbar
• We HIGHLY recommend that players make an in-game Razor Macro for typing [Bomb
  • and then assigning it a Hotkey to it (such as F5) as players will find the game much, much easier with an assigned hotkey to use for quick and reliable bomb placement
