About this game

I Can't Believe It's Not Bomberman is a maze action game built around placing bombs and getting clear before they explode. Its setup screen offers a battle mode against computer-controlled bombers and an adventure mode against monsters. Choose the world size before starting.

This build uses a letter-and-punctuation layout: A moves up, Z moves down, comma moves left and full stop moves right. Space places a bomb. Alt is the special bomb action shown in the instructions: it kicks a bomb or triggers remote detonation when that ability is available.

Press I on the opening screen to read the instructions, and use the mouse on the setup screen to choose a mode and Play. Keep an escape route open before laying a bomb; a narrow corridor can trap the player as easily as an opponent.
