What the game is all about!

As one of Earth's leading demolition and salvage experts, you have been contacted by a research station based beneath the surface of Mars. It seems they've had some trouble with rockfalls, and are quite eager to have you come and rescue them from their predicament.

Four sections of their base have been crippled by the rockfalls. It is up to you to clear the blockages so repairs to critical systems can begin.

There are 32 levels within the Martian base that require your attention. You must clear all rockfalls from each of these, along with any mobile entities that may be roaming around. These could pose a threat to the repair crews. The levels are seperated by energy barriers which will be released when the level is clear. Leave through the exit guarded by the energy barrier to progress to the next level.

To clear the rockfalls, you are equipped with an explosive generating backpack supplied with energy cells for one low power bomb per power recharge. Drop the bomb near a rockfall then make sure you get out of range of the explosion. Be quick - you only have a few seconds before it goes off!

Destroying the blockages may reveal extra utility cells for the backpack. These will give you larger explosions, extra bombs per power recharge, or other special abilities.

Or...

Have fun blowing up your mates, with up to four players on one or two (serial linked) machines!
