In Bomberman (GB) GBC, players control the titular character, Bomberman, navigating a maze-like grid filled with blocks. The primary objective is to eliminate all enemies on the screen and locate the hidden exit, which is typically concealed beneath a destructible block. To achieve this, Bomberman strategically places bombs that explode in a cross-shaped pattern. Players must carefully time and position their bomb placements to destroy enemies and clear blocks without getting caught in their own explosions.
As blocks are destroyed, various power-ups can be uncovered. Common power-ups include Flame (extending the bomb's blast radius), Bomb Up (allowing more bombs to be placed simultaneously), Speed Up (increasing Bomberman's movement speed), and Remote Control (enabling manual detonation of bombs). These power-ups are crucial for progressing through increasingly challenging levels, where enemies become faster and more numerous.
The game features a variety of enemy types, each with unique movement patterns, requiring players to adapt their strategies. Players must be cautious not to trap themselves with their own bombs or get cornered by enemies. Each level has a time limit, and if it expires, additional enemies may spawn or walls might begin to close in, adding extra pressure to the gameplay.
