Bomb It 8

About Bomb It 8

Bomb It 8 freshens up the series with a new cast, new challenges and extras to unlock. The goal stays the same: move through a map crowded with opponents and obstacles, place bombs where they will do the most damage and survive longer than everyone else.

Details matter here. Where you drop a bomb changes which way the explosion spreads, and jumping across an obstacle only works when you move up or down the map, never left or right. There is no pickup button either, so grabbing items is just a matter of reaching them before your rivals do.

How to play Bomb It 8

• Arrow keys - move
• Space - place a bomb
• Walk over items to pick them up

Playing Bomb It 8 on a computer

Hit Play now; the distributor's PLAY screen comes next, with a short ad possible before the map loads. The arrow keys steer your bomber along the paths, and Space drops a bomb. Walking over items collects them automatically. You can hop over obstacles vertically but not horizontally, which matters when planning an escape route. The last bomber standing wins the map.

Playing Bomb It 8 on a phone or tablet

Arrow keys and the space bar are the only listed controls, and no touch layout has been confirmed, so Bomb It 8 stays a keyboard game. Escaping your own blast takes instant direction changes that work best on physical keys. Use a computer or Chromebook, and remember that games for phones carry the "Desktop and mobile" label on the site.

On a phone right now? Try They Are Coming, Coreball and Flappy Dunk - they are built for touch screens.

Tips and tricks

• Plan your escape path before placing each bomb.
• Line up an up or down move when you need to jump an obstacle, since sideways jumps do not work.
• Collect items quickly before rivals get to them.
