Bombs Away Basil!

Description

Bombs Away Basil! is a 1-player arcade game for the Dgragon 32/64.

Played on a 16 x 11 grid, Basil moves between squares trying to defuse 4 bombs before time runs out. Confounding this are spiders which rapidly move about and can take Basil's life. The squares Basil moves across become solid, and neither spiders nor Basil can cross these again. These can serve as safety barricades or obstacles. Basil can move off the top and sides of the screen to circle around to the other side, where the spiders can not. Basil can also horizontally shift the ground beneath him to brings items closer and rearrange squares. Fruit can be picked up for bonus points. The player starts with 3 lives, and gains bonus points for time remaining after finishing a stage. Progressively harder levels have more spiders.
