Objective & gameplay

• Blow up your opponents with bombs. Whoever's left standing wins the round.
• The session is won by whoever first reaches the set number of round wins – 1 to 15, default 3.
• A round lasts at most 2 minutes, after which it ends in a draw.
• From 1:00 remaining, the two outer rings of the arena collapse (configurable: random, clockwise, or off). A death from a collapse doesn't count as a kill for anyone.
• The final standings count round wins, with kills as the tiebreaker.

Maps

There's a large map (21×15 tiles, up to 10 players) and a small one (15×13 tiles, up to 5 players). Layouts: Classic, Open, Maze, Fortress or Random. Themes: Meadow, Desert, Snow, Night or Random.

You start with 1 bomb, a blast radius of 2, and normal speed. A bomb detonates after 2.5 seconds. Roughly every third crate hides a power-up.

Power-ups

Kick, Glove, Remote Detonator, Line Bomb and Crate Ghost can each be disabled in the lobby. When you die, your power-ups drop onto the arena.

Ailments (optional)

Skull power-ups trigger an ailment. It lasts 12 seconds and is contagious to other players on contact.

• Turbo speed: you run at a barely controllable pace.
• Mini bomb: your bombs only reach 1 tile.
• Reversed: your controls are swapped.
• Constant bombs: you drop bombs non-stop.
• Slow: you crawl across the arena.

Teams, characters & awards

• Play free-for-all or in 2 to 5 teams: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow and Purple.
• Friendly fire is always on, but hitting your own team doesn't count as a kill. The last team with survivors wins the round – the win counts for every member, even those already eliminated.
• Three characters (Classic, Bomber Boy, Bomber Girl) and ten colours; each colour is unique per lobby. Your favourite character and colour are saved to your Clanwirtschaft profile.
• At the end of every session, up to 10 awards are handed out – such as Survivor, Crate Crusher, Bomb Juggler, Patient Zero or Self-Destruct King.

Controls

Esc or Start pauses the game, F11 toggles fullscreen. Every key can be freely remapped.

Ranking & ELO rating

• Every player logs into the lobby with their Clanwirtschaft account – even several on one PC. The password is never stored.
• A session counts if it was played to completion with at least 2 logged-in players. Guests and AI appear in the match report but don't earn points.
• Everyone starts at 1200 ELO. Players are compared pairwise by placement: a better placement counts as a win, an equal placement as a draw. The more players, the smaller the impact of each individual comparison.
• Anyone who disconnects is scored as last place.
• Team sessions don't change individual ELO – they update a separate team ELO instead. When the same group of logged-in players plays together, a fixed team with its own rating forms automatically.
• You appear on the ranking once you've completed 3 rated sessions.
