BOMBERCLONE(6)							   Games Manual 						    BOMBERCLONE(6)

NAME

       bomberclone -- free Bomberman-like game

SYNOPSIS

       bomberclone

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the bomberclone game.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       The goal of the game is to be the last one, who is alive. You can drop bombs which will explode after a certain time and destroy everything
       in horizontal and vertical direction. So you can remove stones or kill other players. But take care. Don't kill yourself otherwise the game
       will be over for you.

       During  the  game  you  will  find  different powerups to raise your skills. If you are running faster than your opponent and you have many
       bombs, you can catch him within lots of bombs and he has no chance to escape.

       You will get points for every player you have killed. If you win the game, you can earn additional points depending  on	how  many  players
       played the game.

POWERUPS

       FIRE ICON The Fire powerup gives your bombs more range. Maximum Range is 10.

       FIRE ICON The Fire powerup gives your bombs more range. Maximum Range is 10.

       BOMB ICON After picking up the Bomb item you can put one more bomb on the field. Maximum are 12 Bombs.

       SHOE ICON After you collect this powerup you will walk a little bit faster.

SPECIALS

       BOMB WITH FUSE ICON
		 You  can  trigger  the explosion of all your bombs by pressing the Special Use key. Warning don't wait to long or your bombs will
		 explode anyway.

       BOMB WITH ELASTIC BAND ICON
		 Push your and other bombs around the maze. But be carefull that the bomb is not going to explode

       MULTIPLE BOMBS ICON
		 Lay a row of bombs in one direction to trap some players. To use this special, hold the Special use key  and  the  direction  key
		 where you want to drop the row.
