Blastman

Opening

Blastman is a Bomberman-style grid maze game built by Frank Force using the LittleJS engine, part of the larger LittleJS Arcade collection of small browser games. Place bombs to blast through destructible blocks and enemies, clear a path, and reach the level's exit.

Controls, confirmed on both platforms

Rather than trust the engine's built-in control scheme on description alone, both desktop and phone controls were tested directly. On desktop, a held "D" key moved the player cleanly one tile to the right, and pressing Space placed a visible bomb sprite next to the player that later detonated, visibly altering the surrounding block layout. On phone, the exact same two actions were re-tested through the game's real on-screen touch gamepad: a genuine touch-and-drag on the on-screen analog stick moved the player one tile over, and a tap on the on-screen fire button placed a bomb - confirmed not just visually but directly through the game's own internal bomb-tracking array, which went from empty to one active bomb the instant the touch button was pressed. Both control schemes work exactly as intended.

A genuinely playable loop, not a tech demo

Blastman has real structure: a live HUD tracks score, stage, a countdown timer, and current bomb/fire-power stats, enemies wander the maze and react to the player rather than sitting static, and the level opens a real exit door once every enemy is cleared. It's a complete, if compact, arcade loop rather than a bare engine showcase.

Final Verdict

A clean, correctly-controlled Bomberman-style maze game that works exactly as advertised on both a phone and a desktop, backed by a genuinely reactive AI-driven level rather than a static demo. A solid pick for a quick puzzle-action session on either platform.
