Functionality[]
The three stages of Bomb Box deterioration.
Pressing the bomb button throws a bomb directly in front of the spelunker. This can be adjusted with the Up/Down movement controls, throwing the bomb diagonally upward if the player is holding Up, and gently placing the bomb in front of them if they are holding Down.
Bombs explode 2.5 seconds after being placed and explode with a radius of 2 tiles. The explosion destroys destructible tiles and deals 10 explosive damage + 1 fire damage to entities caught in its blast.
With Paste, bombs stick to anything they touch, including items. While a Powerpack is equipped, the player's bombs are upgraded into power bombs. Power bombs have a radius of 3 tiles and deal 20 explosive damage + 1 fire damage.
Bombs deal 1 impact damage and stun entities when thrown without Paste.
If ignited, exploded, or crushed, bombs instantly explode. Spamming bombs creates a chain reaction of explosions that cascade diagonally upwards.
Bomb Bags themselves explode with the force of one bomb if ignited/crushed/exploded/shot at with a Shotgun. Bomb Boxes can take 24 HP worth of damage before exploding with the force of 3 power bombs. They are damaged by the same sources that can damage Bomb Bags, though are immune to fire.
