How to play
- Move in four directions through the grid.
- Place a bomb on the player’s current tile.
- Move behind a hard wall or outside the future flame path.
- Use blasts to destroy bricks and open routes.
- Defeat every required enemy.
- Reveal the exit hidden under one destructible brick.
- Enter the exit after the enemy counter reaches zero.
The exit can be revealed before every enemy is defeated, but it does not complete the level until all required enemies are gone.
World and camera
Each normal level is a fixed 25-column x 7-row world. The phone displays a 15-column x 7-row landscape viewport. As the player moves horizontally, the world shifts beneath the viewport so the player can explore the remaining columns.

Skills
Invisible / recommended public name: Phase Walk
Move through destructible bricks. Hard walls still block movement. Enemies can still detect and follow the player.

Retained after losing a life.
Remote Control / recommended public name: Remote Trigger
Manually detonates the oldest active bomb.
Lost when a life is lost.
Expand Fire / recommended public name: Flame Range
Extends the blast by one tile in every direction, up to the final game cap.

Fire Immunity / recommended public name: Fire Shield
Prevents damage from bomb fire. Enemy contact remains dangerous.
Lost when a life is lost.
Why did five enemies appear around a skill?
A hidden skill is revealed when its covering brick is destroyed. Revealing it does not trigger a punishment.
The punishment happens only when an already exposed skill item is hit by bomb fire. The item is destroyed and five enemies appear directly around it, then move outward.
| Destroyed exposed skill | Spawned enemies |
| Invisible / Phase Walk | 5 Powered Skeletons |
| Bomb Kick | 5 Skeletons |
| More Bombs / Bomb Capacity | 5 Skeletons |
| Remote Control / Remote Trigger | 5 Powered Skeletons |
| Expand Fire / Flame Range | 5 Skeletons |
| Fire Immunity / Fire Shield | 5 Powered Skeletons |
These punishment enemies may exceed the level’s normal enemy population.
Enemy guide
Red
The basic pursuer. It moves more slowly and follows the player using straightforward route choices.
Purple
A stronger pursuer that can move through bombs.
Deep Blue
A faster hunter that can move through destructible bricks.
Skeleton
A fast punishment enemy that can move through bombs.
Powered Skeleton
The strongest punishment enemy. It can move through bombs and destructible bricks while following the player.
Enemies turn around at dead ends. They do not intentionally avoid upcoming fire.
Enemies sealed behind bricks
Some enemies begin inside a destructible brick. They remain blocked until that brick is destroyed. When released, they emerge into the maze and count toward the enemies that must be defeated before the exit activates.
Lives and upgrade persistence
- A new game starts with three lives.
- Enemy contact removes one life.
- Bomb fire removes one life unless Fire Immunity is active.
- More Bombs and Expand Fire remain after losing a life.
- Invisible, Bomb Kick, Remote Control, and Fire Immunity are lost after losing a life.
Frequently asked questions
I found the exit. Why did the level not finish?
Defeat every required enemy, including enemies still sealed behind bricks and punishment enemies spawned from destroyed skill items.
Why did an enemy walk through a bomb?
Purple enemies, Skeletons, and Powered Skeletons are designed to pass through bombs.
Why did an enemy walk through a brick?
Deep Blue enemies and Powered Skeletons can pass through destructible bricks.
Can my own bomb hurt me?
Yes. Fire damages the player unless Fire Immunity is active.
Can one bomb trigger another?
Yes. A flame that reaches another bomb causes a chain reaction.
Does Bomb Kick pause the fuse?
No. The bomb continues counting down while moving.
Why did I lose a skill after dying?
Four utility skills are life-based: Invisible, Bomb Kick, Remote Control, and Fire Immunity. More Bombs and Expand Fire are retained.
Does the game need internet access?
Version 1.0 is intended to work offline. Remove this statement if the final build requires a connection for any normal task.
Is progress synced between devices?
Not in the recommended V1 architecture. Progress is stored locally. Deleting the app can remove local progress.
Troubleshooting
The app does not open
- Confirm the device meets iOS 15.0 or iPad 15.0.
- Restart the app.
- Restart the device.
- Check available storage.
- Install the newest released version.
- Contact support with the device model, OS version, and app version.
Movement or buttons feel delayed
- Close unusually demanding background apps.
- Confirm the screen edge or system gesture is not interfering.
- Try the alternate control layout.
- Record the level number and device model if the problem continues.
The camera shows the wrong area
Pause and resume once. If the issue continues, send the level number, player position, device model, and a screenshot or recording.
An enemy is stuck or unreachable
Check for a still-sealed enemy. If the enemy counter cannot reach zero, report the level number and nearby tile layout.
Progress disappeared
Local progress may be lost after uninstalling the app, clearing app data, restoring without app data, or changing devices. Report unexpected loss that occurs without one of those events.
Visual effects are uncomfortable
Open Settings and enable Reduced Flash, disable Screen Shake, and enable High-Contrast Danger Tiles. Stop playing if visual effects cause discomfort.
