About

Dodgeball + High explosives = BLASTODROME. Throw bombs across the field to score points, and don't blow yourself up!

Play with a friend in versus mode, or sharpen your skills against the AI in solo mode.

How to play

Score points by picking bombs up and throwing them into your opponent's half-court. The player with the highest score at the end of the timer wins.


If a bomb explodes inside your opponent's half-court, you win 1 point. But if it explodes inside their spawning corner, you score 3 points instead.

Power ups


A bomb can spawn one of three power ups when exploding:

  • Shield: Protects you from one explosion
  • Speed boost: Increases your movement speed
  • Freeze: Traps your opponent in a block of ice

Controls


  • D-Pad / Arrow keys / SFED: Move/Aim
  • Circle / C / Tab: Throw
  • Cross / X / Q: Dash / Cancel throw

Notes and tips

  • Dashing allows you to dodge explosions, but can also be used to steal bombs held by your opponent
  • You cannot dash while carrying a bomb
  • You can get out of the ice faster by mashing the Circle and Cross buttons
  • Blood and music can be disabled in the option menu
