Maybe Ill update again because I still dont know anything about two items, and maybe Ill find some more cheat because this FAQ was completely written without Internet (Ive just moved, so there isnt cable yet :( ). --------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- 4 Controls ---------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- There arent so many controls for this game. These are the controls: Enter: Place a bomb. You can only place 2 bombs at a time unless you find the extra Bomb item Shift: Jump. Pretty useless. Ctrl: Throw or explode an item (this doesnt work with every item) Arrows: Control your Bomber. Esc: Pause the game. Note: For some reason my keys only work at the right side of the keyboard, but I dont know if thats with every PC. --------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- 5 Characters --------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- Bernie: The main character of the game. Hes a man with a yellow helmet and a blue shirt. He is a professional Bomber Angela M.: A girl with purple hair and pink clothes. She doesnt look like it, but shes a good Bombergirl. Robbie: A grey robot with some black/yellow spots. He also has square-eyes. He mustve been watching too much TV. Visitor: A green alien with only one eye. Sent from another galaxy to help the other Bombers. Kuulio: Cool guy with sunglasses ad green hair and yellow/purple clothes. He ran away from home to make money elsewhere. Nato Joe: Soldier with green helmet and camouflage clothes. In the army, this guy was specialized in bombs, so thats why hes here. Jordan: Black basketball-player with three brown hairs, sunglasses and a basketball suit. He didnt get paid enough as a basketball player, so he decides to take a job as a Bomber. They took him because hes good with round objects. Sergio: Decent guy with slick black hair and a blue suit with a tie. He was presenting a gameshow called: Conquer your Fears. But one day some guy from the public said that Sergio himself didnt have the guts to conquer HIS fears. Sergio said he could. He was afraid of explosives, so he is now working as a Bomber. *** Create your own Bomber *** Go to an empty file. You can only choose the faces of a guy in the game, but you can give it your own name. --------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- 6 Strategies --------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- * Here are some strategies to kill an enemy: Legend: X Wall R Rock E Enemy B Place where you should put the bomb X X XBX XEX XXX This way the enemy will be stuck in a corner and have no place to run away from the bomb. X X X BX X BEX XXXXXX In here the enemy will also be stuck in a corner. This is really useful if it takes two bombs to kill the enemy. X BX X RX X BREX XXXXXXX This way, you bomb the rock so the enemy will walk into the blast and dies. This also works for extra points (10 for the enemy, 2 for the rocks). Sometimes this trick doesnt work Another strategy is to, when you die and live again and are invincible for a while, to put the bomb on the same space as the enemy is. Then the enemy cant run away anymore. You can also use this strategy when you have the shield item. Note: In the later levels an enemy can walk over a bomb. --------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ 7 Single Player -------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- Heres the walkthrough for the Single Player levels: You first see your Bomber walking towards the woods. Thats also world 1. *** World 1: The Forest **** This is where the game begins. World: 1-1 Enemies: Red Helmet, Turtle Walkthrough: Try to get the enemies in a corner and then bomb them. But watch out for the turtles, cause they can hide in their shell. After you defeated all the enemies, the exit will open. Items: Extra Bomb, Speed Up, ?-item World: 1-2 Enemies: Red Helmet, Turtle, Green Helmet Walkthrough: Well, its almost the same as world 1-1, but there only is one more enemy, the Green Helmet. He looks like the Red Helmet. The only difference is that hes a little bigger, AND that it takes TWO bombs to defeat him. Use my second strategy in Chapter 6 if thats possible. Items: Bigger Explosion, Heart, ?-item World: 1-3 Enemies: Red Helmet, Green Helmet, Witch, Turtle Walkthrough: Okay, now its starting to get hard. Witches can shoot fire, so make sure you dont stand right in front of them. They also have a good side, the fire can also hit the other enemies. To kill everyone else, you need to be smart, get them in a corner, make the witches destroy them. Whatever you do, this level can take some time, so be patient. Items: Extra Bomb, Speed Up, Dizziness, ?-item World: 1-4 Enemies: Glove, Pink Bunny, Cannon, Ant Walkthrough: AAAAH!!! Only new enemies. If you have some trouble (and you could have it with the Cannon and the Glove) check Chapter 9. The Pink bunnies are fast, so you need to be fast too. Watch out for the cannons bombs. Items: Bigger Explosion, Shield, Throw Bomb, ?-item World: 1-5 Enemies: Witch, Green Helmet, Red Helmet Walkthrough: There are a LOT of enemies in here, so you have a lot to do. Try to get a lot together and then place a bomb so youll be sure to kill at least one. Items: Speed Up, Bigger Explosion, Extra Time, ?-item After you defeat world 1-5 you see yourself walking to the Pacman World! *** World 2: Pacman World *** The second world. Youre in a computer. There are two new things: the Teleporter and the Assembly Line. The rocks are now grey cubes World: 2-1 Enemies: Yellow Ghost, Pacman Walkthrough: The Yellow Ghost are pretty weak, but they always run away scared as soon as they notice a bomb. But the ghost isnt your biggest problem, the Pacmen are. Items: Bigger Explosion, Time Bomb, ?-item World: 2-2 Enemies: Pacman, Yellow Ghost, Weirdo Walkthrough: Okay, you need to use strategy on this one. Try to teleport yourself to an enemy, place a bomb and teleport away again. This is only possible if there is an enemy near the teleport. Item: Extra Bomb, Speed Up, Slowmotion, ?-item, World: 2-3 Enemies: Yellow Ghost, Pacman, Weirdo, Cannon Walkthrough: This worlds full of Yellow Ghosts. There really are a lot. And the cannon is back too, so you have a lot to worry about. Item: Kick, Extra Life, Throw Bomb, Bigger Explosion, ?-item World: 2-4 Enemies: Cannon, Turtle, Pacman, Yellow Ghost, Weirdo Walkthrough: This is a pretty busy world, there are a lot of enemies. Just finish the cannons first because he could kill you when youre just busy and you dont that, now would you? Items: Throw Bomb, Speed Up, Dizziness, ?-item World: 2-5 Enemies: Pacman, Cannon, Witch, Weirdo, Turtle Walkthrough: Again, a lot of cannons in here. Just kill them first like you did before so youre out of here to the Ice World! Items: Bigger Explosion, Ghost, Extra Time, ?-item After you defeat world 2-5 you see yourself walking to the Ice World! *** World 3: The Ice World *** In the Ice World you have something that looks like an Assembly Line, but its ice you slide over and you can go to all sides, not just one side like with the Assembly Line. The rocks are now white cubes. World: 3-1 Enemies: Penguin, Snowman Walkthrough: I know what youre thinking: just two enemies, no big deal. Well, then let me tell you something. Those snowmen are REALLY annoying. They can just knock your bombs away and only a big blast will kill them. So good luck! Items: Extra Bomb, Ghost, ?-item World: 3-2 Enemies: Penguin, Snowman, Weirdo Walkthrough: Well its almost the same as the other levels, just more enemies. Well, actually only the lot of snowmen is annoying, but if you have some experience with them you should be able to do it. Items: Shield, Bigger Explosion, Throw Bomb, ?-item World: 3-3 Enemies: Cannon, Snowman, Penguin, Weirdo, Glove Walkthrough: The glove and the cannon are back. Add some snowmen and some stupid Penguins and Weirdos and you have a pretty hard time! Youll have some serious trouble solving this one, at least it took me some time. Thank goodness there arent so much enemies. Items: Extra Bomb, Heart, Extra Time, ?-item World: 3-4 Enemies: Glove, Snowman, Penguin, Weirdo, Witch Walkthrough: Okay this ones harder than 3-3 because theres a witch and there are more enemies (snowmen, weirdos, penguins, everything!). Good luck! Items: Speed Up, Slowmotion, ?-item World: 3-5 Enemies: Glove, Snowman, Weirdo, Cannon Walkthrough: Okay, this is a pretty hard level, about just as hard as the previous ones. Try to find the Extra Life item. This is also the only Ice level without Penguins. Items: Kick, Extra Life, Dizziness, ?-item After you defeat world 3-5 you see yourself walking to the Toys World! *** World 4: The Toys World *** The Assembly Line is back in this world, thats actually it. And the rocks are now pawns. World: 4-1 Enemies: Jokerbox, Ant Walkthrough: This worlds really FULL with enemies. There may be only two different kinds, but there are a lot of them though! And the Jokerbox is pretty hard to defeat too! Items: Heart, Ghost, ?-item World: 4-2 Enemies: Jokerbox, Ant, Pink Bunny Walkthrough: Another tough level. The Pink Bunnys back, but there are a LOT of Jokerboxes, and I think thats your main problem. You will also have a fence for the first time in this level. You can push it so you can walk around it, but you cant push it from all the sides. Items: Extra Bomb, Extra Life, Dizziness, ?-item World: 4-3 Enemies: Jokerbox, Ant, Pink Bunny, Robot Walkthrough: This ones pretty hard too. Thank goodness there arent so much Jokerboxes. Take care of the Robot first. Items: Bigger Explosion, Slowmotion, Extra Time, ?-item World: 4-4 Enemies: Robot, Pink Bunny, Jokerbox, Turtle, Ant Walkthrough: A LOT of enemies. You need to think with strategy here. There are a lot of corners, try to get the enemies there. Good luck, youll need it! Items: Extra Bomb, Shield, Heart, ?-item World: 4-5 Enemies: Jokerbox, Robot, Pink Bunny, Cannon Walkthrough: 4 Jokerboxes, 4 Robots, 2 Pink Bunnies and 2 Cannons. Can you handle it? Try to spare all of your lives, make no sacrifices, cause youll be sorry later. Get some guys in corners, the usual. Check my Strategies Section again if you like and go for it! Items: Time Bomb, Ghost, Throw Bomb, ?-item After you defeat world 4-5 you will be congratulated that you solved all levels in Explomaen. After that, you see yourself walking towards the sea and you will be able to record a High Score if you have enough points. ----------------------------------------------------- | Congratulations! Youve beaten the game Explomaen! | ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- 8 Multiplayer --------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- This chapter isnt so big. You can play multiplayer mode with up to 4 players. If you want to play with 4 players you better have two Joysticks, or else itll be busy at the keyboard. With 3 players you can better have 1 Joystick and with 2 players you dont NEED a joystick, its handy though. You can also play over Internet, which is more fun because if youre alone, you can play against 3 players. There are 5 Worlds you can pick: Forest, Pacman, Ice, Toys and Random. If you choose Random you never know what world youll get, so if you like surprises choose it. Note: If you want to play online you need to be logged in BEFORE you start the game. --------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- 9 Enemies ----------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- *** Ant *** Description: A big ant Bomb it takes to defeat: 1 Worlds it appears in: 1-4, 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, 4-4 Specialities: Theyre pretty quick. *** Cannon *** Description: A cannon on wheels Bombs it take to defeat: 1 Worlds it appears in: 1-4, 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, 3-3, 3-5, 4-5 Specialities: It can shoot bombs *** Glove *** Description: A white glove with eyes Bombs it take to defeat: 2 Worlds it appears in: 1-4, 3-3, 3-4, 3-5 Specialities: It takes two times to defeat it *** Green Helmet *** Description: A pear with feet and eyes and a green helmet Bombs it take to defeat: 1 or 2 Worlds it appears in: 1-2, 1-3, 1-5 Specialities: It takes one or two times to defeat it. *** Jokerbox *** Description: A box with a head coming out Bombs it takes to defeat: 2 Worlds it appears in: 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, 4-4, 4-5 Specialities: It can hide in its box and knock your bombs away. *** Pacman *** Description: A round head, just like Pacman Bombs it take to defeat: 2 Worlds it appears in: 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 2-5 Specialities: It takes two times to defeat it. *** Penguin *** Description: A black penguin Bombs it take to defeat: 1 Worlds it appears in: 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4 Specialities: None *** Pink Bunny *** Description: A pink bunny head Bombs it take to defeat: 1 Worlds it appears in: 1-4, 4-2, 4-3, 4-4, 4-5 Specialities: None *** Red Helmet *** Description: A pear with feet and eyes and a red helmet Bombs it take to defeat: 1 Worlds it appears in: 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-5 Specialities: None *** Robot *** Description: A grey robot, looks like Robbie a bit.

Put them all to one to make it easy, or all to 9 when youre feeling bold. I have to admit it, I used this cheat on World 4-4 and 4-5, but only those worlds, really. *** More or less items *** Go to the map Explomaen.
