About this game

Bomber Man Special is a single-player, top-down action game developed by Hudson Soft. Players guide Bomberman through rooms filled with monsters and destructible blocks, using bombs as their only special ability.

Bombs produce cross-shaped blasts that can destroy enemies and blocks. Power-ups can increase blast range, allow additional bombs, improve movement speed, or let Bomberman walk through walls. Each level requires clearing the enemies and finding the hidden exit before time runs out. Bombing the exit releases additional enemies that must also be defeated.
