- The idea of the game is quite simple "There can be only one
- ...". So the aim is to blast away all the other players.
- You can set the number of victorious matches required to win
- the total game with the `-v` option. Use your bombs to
- blast away the other players and certain blocks (e.g. the
- ?-Blocks in the 1st level). Under some of these blocks are
- extras. In this release are the following extras:
- o bomb increases the number of bombs you
- can drop simultaneously
- o flame increases the range of your bombs
- o remote control remote ignition of your bombs
- o skull infects you with a (random) illness.
- o star makes you invincible
- o button all bombs on the map explode
- o moving bomb allows you to kick bombs

- press one of these keys the player starts walking in this
- direction and stops only if he/she hits an obstacle or the
- stop key 5 is pressed. In the latter case the player stops
- in the middle of the next field. Furthermore you can change
- the walking direction by using the direction keys. If the
- key 0 is pressed a bomb is dropped in the middle of the
- player's actual field. Be careful not to drop the bomb to
- early, as you can block your own way with it (bombs are

- The second player of the X-Server uses the keys T, F, H, V/B
- to walk, SPACE to bomb, TAB for special actions, G to stop.
- If only one player uses an X-Server both controls will work
- for him.

- With certain X-Servers the control via number-pad doesn't
- work. Try Num-Lock, the optional control or change your
- Xmodmap. This should be fixed since release 1.0.
