Bomber Friends: bomb through the bricks, find the key, open the door
Bomber Friends is a top-down maze game modeled on the classic Bomberman, in which you drop bombs to blast through brick walls and defeat the enemies blocking your way. Each level is a grid of gray stone blocks that cannot be broken and orange brick blocks that can. To finish, you have to find a key, unlock the final door and reach the exit, while making sure your own blast does not catch you. Power-ups raise bomb damage, add bombs and give extra lives, and at the end of a level you choose a reward and upgrade your character's look and stats. CrazyGames credits this browser version to GamePix; the Bomber Friends app on Google Play is published by Hyperkani. Battle City, the other retro grid game on What Games Play, is a tank shooter; Bomber Friends is about route-finding with timed explosives.

Three kinds of power-up
Pickups in each level raise bomb damage, add another bomb to your supply, or give you an extra life.
Rewards after each level
Finishing a level lets you choose from several rewards and upgrade both your character's appearance and stats.
Touch controls built in
The game draws its own d-pad and bomb button on screen, and CrazyGames lists it as working in iOS and Android browsers.
Tips for Bomber Friends
- Always plan your exit square. Before you drop a bomb, check which free tile you will step to; your own blast can knock you out.
- Block corridors with bombs. Enemies cannot walk through a placed bomb, so a bomb in a one-tile corridor stops a chaser.
- Clear bricks toward the goal. Only orange bricks break, so trace a path around the gray stone before you start blasting.
- Pick up extra bombs early. The extra-bomb power-up lets you open more bricks per trip and trap enemies more easily.
- Look for the key. The exit door stays locked until you have the key, so explore the maze instead of waiting by the door.
