You must press any key to start the game. It will then ask you if you want to use Keyboard or Joystick. After that section, the game will start. The aim of each level of the game is to kill all of the floaters, the orange/magenta ball-like things that roam the maze. To do this you have one weapon on your side - an infinite supply of bombs. When you drop a bomb, they are automatically primed, and will explode after just a few seconds. So to kill the baddies you must get close enough to them to within the range of the bomb, drop it, and quickly run around a corner to make sure you too are not caught in the explosion. The bombs will destroy any floaters that are caught in the blast, and also certain sections of wall that are in the way, reducing the playing area to open landscape. More and more floaters are added each level, and the game does get quite difficult. You can also only drop one bomb at a time.

Os inimigos passarem pelas bombas não chega a ser terrível mas muda completamente a forma de jogar se comparado com Bomberman.
This game is pretty much just a lesser version of NES Bomberman, the idea is the exact same the only difference is that this one is way rougher to play. The main issue comes from the fact that you only move half a block at a time unlike how most Bomberman do it, normally one step = one block but here it's one step = half a block making it hell to get through the stages and avoiding enemies, especially with how fast they are, they cut you no slack and it's pretty much impossible to outrun them unless they go another direction and it feels more like Pacman than Bomberman.
The second main issue comes from the fact that the enemies WALK THROUGH THE BOMBS! You can't trap them! It means this game is 100% luck whether they'll walk through the explosion or not.
Though this game does fix one issue I had with Bomberman on the NES and it's the fact that in the NES version, the stages are way too big making it a chore to go through them, here the stages are just size of your screen making them pretty cozy and not too overwhelming.
There's no debate whether you should play the original version of the NES version, go for the NES if you want to avoid the headache, or just play any other competent Bomberman game that doesn't have walkthrough bombs.
