...BOOOM!!!

Collect all bombs before they explode!

Controls:

• O: left
• P: right
• Q: up
• A: down

Tips:

• Your ship (white arrow) must always follow the energy lines. Three mistakes or a bomb explodes, and it is over!
• Your ship and the enemy (red arrow) will remove the energy lines as they move. Find the faster path to the bomb that is about to explode!
• After a number of bombs collected, you will level up and the board will be reset. Each level requires more bombs to be collected, so that the screen will be more difficult to navigate!
• The game has no end. The objective is to reach the highest score possible.
• Remember that the screen is continuous. Maybe the bomb is closer in the opposite direction!
• To hear music, just tap repeatedly the space bar with your favorite tune, because the game has no music.
• The game may look slow, but wait until level 4 or higher. Maybe then you will appreciate to have time to find a path in the chaos.

Acknowledgements:

• The game is inspired by the arcade game "Mr TNT"
• The game has been programmed in pure sinclair basic. No assembler has been used.
• Thank you to Paul Dunn for his wonderful BASINC development tool. This game could not have been possible without it.
• And thank you DamienG for your marvellous Pixie font!

The code is included in the zip file, in case you want to test your sanity. It is even commented (barely).

The game was going circles in my mind for 1 week, and finally was programmed in a weekend.
