Also a small bug fix so the game doesn't get stuck on level 15.*\r\n\r\nYou're a villain dropping bombs on cities. Killing people awards you money for upgrades. You get bonus money for killing multiple people with the same bomb. Super Goat is trying to rescue the people of the cities, so you should kill them before he gets to them.\r\n\r\n(I didn't have time to include a help page in the game but it should be pretty straight forward)\r\n\r\n-Click to drop bombs.\r\n-Click the icon at the center of the bottom bar to access the upgrade menu.\r\n\r\nUpgrades:\r\n\r\n-Explosion Radius: Increases the size of the explosion. Killing all who are hit by it.\r\n-Shockwave Radius: Increases the size of the shockwave.\r\nshockwaves can be used to push people around and possibly set up good combos.\r\n-Bomb Speed: Increases the speed of the bomb. It will take less time to hit the ground.\r\n-Fire Duration: increases explosion duration. Lingering explosive clouds continue to kill anyone who wanders (or is pushed) into them.\r\n-Reload Speed: Reduces time to reload bombs.\r\n-Bomb Capacity: Increases amount of bombs that can be fired before reloading.\r\n\r\n\r\nI didn't have time to add a level cap either, so basically, when you can kill everything on the screen in one click, you've beaten the game.\r\n<\/p>","title":"Bombardier"}
