About the game
The 1983 Bomber Man rebuilt for more players. Cooperative or deathmatch for up to four: two on the keyboard, two on joysticks, and over the network between MZ-800s with an MZPico and this browser player. Same bricks, monsters, bonus and exit as the original; player colours, a lobby with four-letter room codes and lockstep play are new.
Pick MODE, PLAYERS and inputs on the title with the cursor keys. HOST creates a room and shows its code; JOIN asks for one. Source and protocol: github.com/MZPico/BomberNet.
Controls
Cursor keys — menu, player 1 Space — start, drop a bomb (CR when a second keyboard player is set) W A S D + E — player 2 on the keyboard
