This is BombMaster random events as a live TV broadcast. A studio anchor and Bombi, the field reporter with a lit fuse on top of the helmet, stand in the middle of a maze and shout “Breaking news!” five times. The lines are made up, but every number in the rules boxes and every on-screen phrase comes from the game’s source. Two things to remember: a 1.6-second warning always shows before an event, and if you get through without a scratch, coins open up.
- 5 events: Treasure rush, Shells, Enemy wave, Lights out, Bomb carpet. They unlock at levels 2 · 3 · 5 · 8 · 12.
- The first event is scheduled 18-26 seconds after a run starts, but it will not begin until you are at least 15% of the way to the exit.
- After an event ends, there is a 25-40 second break before the next one. The same event never airs twice in a row.
SCENE 1 Middle of the maze · Treasure
(A big H coin rolls out in front of Bombi. Orange letters appear on screen.)
Anchor Going live to the field. Bombi, what’s happening?
Bombi Treasure rush! Coins are raining down all around me!
Anchor Any traps?
Bombi Nope. All I have to decide is whether to grab them.
“Treasure rush!” appears and coins are laid out nearby. (The grey card on the left is the game’s Black Hole bomb tip, unrelated to the event.)
- 5 coins (one of them a big coin) are placed within 3 tiles of the player. Deeper into a run, that becomes 7 coins.
- There is no danger. The treasure is the reward, so no extra “survived” coins are added on top.
SCENE 2 Same maze · Shells
(Orange letters: “Shells incoming!” A little later, red target marks appear on the floor.)
Bombi Shells? You just said treasure!
Anchor The same event can’t air back to back. We have something else lined up.
“Shells incoming!” The warning starts with these letters.
Red marks on the floor show where the bombs are about to land.
- Bombs are placed on empty tiles 3-7 tiles from the player, with a fuse of at least 1.8 seconds. Nothing lands within 3 tiles.
- The count starts at 4 and grows to around 8 deeper into a run, with one more near the end (80% or more of the way to the exit).
- The shapes and the blinking are the warning, so there is time to walk out of the way.
SCENE 3 End of the corridor · Enemy wave
(Orange letters: “Enemy wave!” Far away, small enemies pop out of the ground.)
Bombi Something’s coming from over there!
Anchor They spawn more than 6 tiles away, so relax. They can’t hurt you during the 0.8 seconds they take to rise.
“Enemy wave!” Running enemies appear from far away.
- Running enemies rise 6-10 tiles away from the player. You start with 2, and more join deeper into a run.
- They are harmless for the 0.8 seconds they take to rise, and the event lasts about 6 seconds.
SCENE 4 Blackout
(Orange letters: “Lights out!” The screen goes dark.)
Anchor Lights out! Bombi, can you see anything?
Bombi Not a thing. But it doesn’t hurt.
“Lights out!” The warning text.
The dark closes in from the edges of the screen. No damage, just less to see.
- The screen stays dark for 7 seconds (up to 10 deeper into a run). There is no damage.
- The narrower view just makes other dangers easy to miss. It pays to take your time while it lasts.
SCENE 5 Bomb carpet
(Orange letters: “Bomb carpet!” Four tiles ahead of Bombi, bombs line up in a row and go off one by one.)
Bombi They’re going off in a line!
Anchor Yes, a line. Just step one tile to the side.
“Bomb carpet!” The warning for the last event.
- 5 bombs (7 near the end) are laid in a row 4 tiles in front of the player. They start going off at 1.6 seconds, 0.18 seconds apart.
- It is a single line, so stepping sideways keeps you safe. The area within 3 tiles of the player is left empty.
EPILOGUE Studio · Bonus
(Coins pile up around Bombi. Orange letters: “Survived! Bonus coins”.)
Anchor That’s our show. Didn’t take a single hit, did you?
Bombi Nope, and that’s why the coins opened up!
“Survived! Bonus coins” shows on screen, with coins scattered around the player.
- The game compares your health (shield included) at the start and the end of an event. If it didn’t drop, you get 3 coins, +1 deeper into a run and +1 near the end.
- Damage blocked by a shield counts as “not hurt”. A shield works like an extra layer of health.
- Separately from events, going 35 seconds without a single hit drops 2 coins.
- When the warning text shows, you have 1.6 seconds to check your surroundings and dodge. Stay unhurt and you are rewarded. Events are a nuisance that also hands out coins.
