I'm no good either.  It seems as though one guy gets all of the power ups and goes around killing everyone.

It's Dariush.

The trick is to not die. I mean... obviously, right, but I mean don't go around trying to kill people. Just survive. The more you die, the more of your powerups you lose. As the round progresses, more and more people will be respawning with no powerups, becoming easy pickings for those who survived long enough just making opportunistic kills and maxing their upgrades.

Late-game, a few minutes before the world-eaters appear is when you should start rampaging. Dot bombs at random intersections and don't stick around the same area for long. Don't chase people- let them come to you. More often than not, bombs left randomly with a long reach will catch people by suprise, as they either think the blast won't reach them, or they just didn't see it in their periphery vision.

Chasing people is a recipe for getting blocked in a line of bombspam, so never do that. Dance around them, and don't be afraid to push bombs out of the way. Try to keep track of the order each bomb was placed so you can strategically position yourself even when surrounded by a maze of fire.

I'd love to find Dariush and see how we stack up. This is one of the few games I regularly own at. I think we'd be a good match of skill.

Just for the record, I'm playing on European servers (where I am somehow getting pings around twice lower than in Russia, near which I live).

Of course, if you die and have the chance to take out someone with better upgrades than you, suicide attacks can be a good idea.

I was hiding in a corner with three other people, all pretty well upgraded. Just stepped into line with one of the bombs we were hiding from and dropped my pathetic 2 power single bomb. Died but took the triple kill and dragged a few top level players back towards my level.

What does the heart power up do? I don't see it in the list of bonuses in the How To Play.

Seems to make it so you keep your bomb count and explosion radius after you die.

What? No. That's amazingly stupid.

What does the heart power up do? I don't see it in the list of bonuses in the How To Play.

In my observations, it keeps either five of fire and bomb powerups and two speed ones or half of the current stack plus one, whichever is lower (because after dying fully stocked (20 bombs and 8 fires), I respawn with five bombs and five fires).

[Dariush]

Considering there are at least 400 players on any given map, wasting a life in order to delay a single guy is stupid pointless.

[Graven]

Well I slapped on a B12 in my name, killed myself 40 times on the EU servers. So far so good.

I got lured onto the russian site (bombermine.ru) with the promise of skins and moderators, registered, facepalmed at everything from people to ads and now I can't play on the main site as a guest due to nickname being taken. Fuck.
