The game combines overhead-style bomb placement with side-scrolling platform sections. Players place bombs, step away before the blast, and use the explosions to destroy blocks, defeat enemies, and open routes. Some stages require careful jumping and timing, making movement just as important as bomb placement. Progress is divided into stages and worlds, with bosses marking major milestones.
