Gameplay
Super IsoBomb consists of multiple players attempting to achieve the goal of being the last player standing in the level by eliminating the other players. The players have a two tools at their disposal to eliminate the other players – an infinite supply of bombs that they can throw at the other players, and a small supply of homing bombs. When the bombs explode they create an explosion that damages all players in their path (possibly including the player that threw it).
When a bomb explodes, it explodes on a 2D plane of its height, but only in two straight lines on its plane. The explosion will be blocked by tiles whose height is greater than the bomb’s, but not by players in its path. This stricter definition is important because a bomb may explode in the air. A player will have a certain height, and if the explosion touches the player, then the player is hit by the bomb.
The game has various powerups, but sometimes random powerups are “infected” with viruses: Types of powerups:
- Hit Points - adds one hit point up to a max of 5
- Speed - Increases the movement speed of isoman
- Max Bombs - Increases the number of bombs that can be placed
- Homing Bomb - Gives you 1 more homing bomb
- Blast Radius - Increases the blast radius by 1
- Power - Increases throwing power
Types of viruses:
- Slow - Makes isoman walk very slowly
- No Bombs - Isoman can’t throw any bombs or release any homing bombs
- Bombarhea - Isoman randomly throws bombs and random powers
- Weak Throws - Max Power is significantly reduced
- Delay - Bombs have extremely long delays
- Shrink - Isoman shrinks and can’t climb stairs, also has weak speed and power
