Ashlar Bomber

The old masonry yards have filled with stray creatures and stacked crates. A quarry mason with a satchel of charges works through five yards, from the kiln to the clock tower, and finds that whatever a blast catches burns on as a cinder.

Drop bombs in a stone maze and catch enemies in one blast: each one leaves a cinder that bursts again. 30 stages, five bosses and an arena.

Move through the grid with the arrow keys or WASD, or with the stick on a phone. Press Space, or tap Bomb, to drop a bomb on your tile. After 2.5 seconds it bursts along its row and column, stops at steel, breaks the first block it reaches and sets off any bomb it touches. Step out of its cross in time, because the blast hurts you too. An enemy caught in a blast leaves a cinder that bursts 0.7 seconds later; its cross is marked on the floor. The first kill of a chain bursts 2 tiles, the next 3, then 4 and 5, and each kill scores its value times its place in the chain. Blocks hide power-ups and the exit; the exit opens once every enemy is gone. Every sixth stage is a boss, and cinder blasts hit bosses twice as hard. In the arena, the last bomber standing takes the round and the first to 3 rounds wins; a fallen bomber leaves a cinder too.
