About Bomberdude
Bomberdude is a four-player maze game about placing bombs, blowing holes in the walls, and being the last one standing.
You start in a corner of a tiled arena packed with soft blocks. Every bomb you drop clears a little more of the maze and uncovers pickups: a longer blast, an extra bomb, more speed, the ability to kick a bomb across the floor, and the lightning pickup that lets you detonate on command instead of waiting for the fuse to run down.
Pick your dude from a roster of eight — Fuse, Nova, Moss, Volt, Ember, Orbit, Patch and Oni — and no two players can take the same one, so you always know which one is you. Then pick the arena to match your group: a small nine-by-nine for fast, brutal rounds, the classic thirteen-by-eleven, or a large seventeen-by-thirteen when four players need room to breathe.
On an iPad you play it with a directional pad and two large buttons under your thumbs. With a Magic Keyboard attached, two people can play on one iPad — one on WASD, one on the arrow keys — which is the way it is most fun. If you are short of humans, add up to three bots on Easy, Normal or Hard; the harder ones will detonate a bomb in your face on purpose.
For four players, create a room, share its four-letter code, and everyone joins from their own device on the same Wi-Fi or over the internet. There is no account and nothing to install: the room exists while you are playing and then it is gone.
How to play
Touch: the directional pad sits under your left thumb, with Bomb and Detonate under your right.
Magic Keyboard, player one: WASD to move, Space to place a bomb, E to detonate.
Magic Keyboard, player two: arrow keys to move, Enter to place a bomb, Shift to detonate.
Detonating on command only works once you have picked up the lightning. Until then the fuse decides when the bomb goes off, so place it and get out of the way.
Modes: Solo against one to three bots, Shared for two players on one keyboard, or LAN and Online rooms joined with a four-letter code.

Play it like an app
Add it to your Home Screen
In Safari, tap the share button and choose Add to Home Screen. It then opens full screen with no browser bar in the way, exactly like an installed app.
Attach a Magic Keyboard
Where a game supports it, the keyboard turns one iPad into a two-player machine — one player on WASD, the other on the arrow keys, both looking at the same screen. On a phone the same game falls back to touch.
Nothing to install, nothing to pay
Every game runs in the browser and starts the moment you tap it. There is no App Store download, no account to make, and no price — now or later.
