Reclaiming Boomtopia
Blow It Up is an explosive physics-based game developed by Brain Seal Ltd., merging the thrill of Angry Birds with a dynamic physics engine for a captivating puzzle adventure. In the realm of “Boomtopia”, where strategy meets destruction, your goal is to liberate your bomb comrades from their mischievous captors. With seven distinct bombs, each with its own strengths, weaknesses, and special abilities, strategic thinking is essential to conquer over 70 challenging levels.
To assist you in maximizing every blast, this guide delves into each bomb companion in detail, accompanied by crucial tips and techniques. Master their demolitions prowess, unleash chaos, and take back control of Boomtopia!
Mastering the Art of Launching
Each level in Blow It Up presents a unique challenge, with pinpointing weak spots in structures being vital for maximum destruction. Utilizing your launchpad, your task is to eliminate all adversaries, detonate the gifts, and ideally conclude with an extra shot left—earning you the prestigious gold trophy. If you exhaust your shots but still successfully explode all gifts, a silver trophy awaits. Simply finishing the level will secure you a bronze trophy.
To enhance your impact, meticulously aim using the launchpad and activate each bomb’s special ability mid-flight at the perfect moment. Since each bomb possesses distinct powers, let’s delve into them one by one:
Dashy (Dash Bomb)
Dashy serves as the initial bomb in Blow It Up, revered for its adaptability. When activated mid-flight, it zooms in a straight line based on its trajectory at the time of activation. Dashy excels at reaching formidable foes, tidying up remnants, or targeting vulnerabilities in structures. However, its explosion is one of the weakest, making it less effective in levels with numerous adversaries or compact structures. Use Dashy strategically for its speed and precision, while being aware of its limited destructive force.
Diggy (Drill Bomb)
Diggy is a bomb that descends straight down upon activation, making it optimum for targeting areas directly beneath. It’s ideal for scenarios where you need to hit specific targets or foes on lower levels with accuracy. While it only triggers a single explosion, it can inflict substantial damage in the impact zone. Employ Diggy when a focused, precise hit is required, although it may not be suitable for eliminating multiple targets simultaneously.
Gunny (Gun Bomb)
Upon activation, Gunny fires its two handguns sequentially, each shot triggering a minor explosion upon impact. This makes it perfect for breaching structures, especially when targets align in a straight path or when foundation destabilization is necessary. These shots weaken structures and create openings, enabling precise, strategic destruction, particularly when focusing on critical points to topple the structure.
Jetty (Airplane Bomb)
Jetty ventures into the skies upon activation, flying horizontally and dropping miniature bombs along its path before descending. This trait makes Jetty perfect for targeting multiple foes or structures arranged horizontally. Its ability to cover a broad area with each drop renders it a versatile, comprehensive bomb, suitable for handling scattered targets or clearing vast portions of a level.
Blasty (Remote Bomb)
Blasty operates as a remote bomb that detonates instantly upon activation. Its precise explosion is ideal for close-range targets, reaching inaccessible areas (where other bombs might trigger prematurely), or even nudging objects when required. Blasty’s controlled detonation allows for strategic, imaginative plays in challenging scenarios.
Chainy & Linky (Chain Bomb)
Chainy & Linky comprise two bombs connected by a chain. Upon activation, they break free and pursue their individual paths until reaching their target. This unique dynamic allows for innovative strategies, as their separate motion can strike multiple targets or wreak havoc in various sections of the level.
Puffy (Fat Bomb)
Puffy represents a bomb with restricted range but potent impact. When activated, it disperses shrapnel with the same momentum as the original bomb, leading to independent explosions. Puffy excels at generating extensive blasts in confined spaces, eradicating nearby targets, and clearing residual enemies or obstacles. Its unique blast pattern enables focused, influential destruction.
Blend, Engage, Explode
With an arsenal of bombs at your fingertips, the key to triumph lies in selecting the appropriate one for each level’s dilemma. Whether precision, wide-ranging annihilation, or a mixture of both is your goal, there’s a bomb to suit your gameplay and the circumstances. The more you experiment, the better you’ll grasp how each bomb’s distinct abilities can be exploited to orchestrate the perfect detonation. So, go ahead, detonate, and unleash pandemonium in Boomtopia! Because who can resist a spectacular explosion?
