QuackBlast is a thrilling 2D single-player action game that draws from the classic Bomberman concept while adding a delightful duck theme and strategic complexity. Players assume the role of a charismatic duck wielding a powerful arsenal of explosive eggs, maneuvering through challenging labyrinths filled with enemies.
QuackBlast features gameplay mechanics similar to those found in the classic game Bomberman. Players guide their duck character through maze-like levels, utilizing explosive eggs to destroy barriers and outwit opponents. If an enemy is hit by the bomb, they will perish, and if the duck collides with an opponent, the player loses. The ultimate goal is to reach the exit of each level.
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
| W | Move the player forward |
| A | Move the player to the left |
| S | Move the player backwards |
| D | Move the player to the right |
| R | Rotate the player |
| Space | Place colored explosive egg |
Deploy a diverse range of explosive eggs strategically to eliminate enemies and open pathways. Pay attention to blast radius, as explosions can also harm the player. Every explosive egg will have a color showing its trait. The selection of these eggs will be random.
| Egg Color | Description |
|---|---|
| Red | The explosion will be one unit in every direction |
| Blue | The explosion will be the whole row |
| Green | The explosion will be the whole column |
| Yellow | The explosion will be the whole row + column |
There will be intelligent enemy ducks with A* navigation that pursue the player dynamically, requiring cautious planning and swift reflexes to evade them. Upon contact, a player loses. If an enemy is hit by the bomb, they will perish. Explosive eggs follow realistic behaviour which depend on factors like initial velocity, blast force, and environmental barriers. When explosions occur, the affected ducks experience tangible effects that influence their movements in a lifelike way, due to the physics engine.
