Do I need a fast computer to run Escape The Bombs?

No. Puzzle games are light on graphics and run fine on older laptops, basic tablets and most phones. A current browser matters more than hardware.

Can two people play together?

Puzzle games here are generally single player, but they work well passed back and forth, with one person solving and another suggesting moves.

Why did my progress disappear?

Progress is stored in the browser rather than an account. If you cleared browsing data, used a private window, or switched devices, the game would start fresh.

The guide

Overview

The city is attacked with bombs, and you and your colleague need to escape and save yourself from the bombs. Avoid the bombs and catch the falling hearts. Hearts will prolong your life. They need you for energy and to heal you if you are hit by a bomb. A warning will appear on the screen where the bombs will fall. But they will be more and more and they will be fast so it will be difficult to avoid them all. Your colleague will want to save him too, so he will try to collect your hearts. So you have to fight against it as well. Stay alive in this game as long as you can and achieve the best result.

What it's like to play

The best moment in any puzzle game is the one just after you have been stuck. You have tried the obvious moves, nothing worked, and then you spot the thing you overlooked. The whole board resolves in a few quick taps. Sessions are built from a string of those moments, separated by stretches of quiet staring. It is slow in a good way.

How to play

1Identify the goal first. Look for a target, counter or outline that tells you what a finished stage looks like.
2Make a move you can reverse, then see how the board reacts. Most puzzles let you undo or restart freely.
3Group similar pieces or clear blockers early so you have room to work later in the stage.
4When you solve a stage, note what the trick was; the next few stages will usually build on it.

Why it's worth a go

Because it fits into the gaps. Escape The Bombs does not need a download or a login, and a stage takes about as long as waiting for a kettle. It is also one of the few kinds of game that leaves you feeling slightly sharper rather than drained.
