[#en][color=#FC6400]Welcome to the user created guide for Bouboum ![/color]

[color=#f6b913]This guide is here to help players gain a better understanding of the game and go a bit more in depth about how certain things work. The guide will be updated from time to time as things change and new information is released.[/color]

[color=#FC6400]Table of contents[/color]
[color=#f6b913]I'm going to be seperating the guide into parts with the flag tabs to make it easier for players to find what they're looking for.

Tab 1 - The basics.
Tab 2 - Power-ups and bomb types.
Tab 3 - Blocks and more.
Tab 4 - Tactics, tips, and strategies.[/color]

[color=#FC6400]The Basics.[/color]

[color=#f6b913]When a round starts there will be an arrow pointing towards your character with a yellow ring surrounding them to help locate where you are. The smaller yellow ring is invincibility and as long as this yellow ring is up, nothing can kill you.[/color]

[color=#f6b913]Each round lasts 2 minutes or till there's one player standing, your objective is to survive at all costs.

Once the time ticks down to 1 minute the playing field will get smaller and at 1 minute and 20 seconds (40 seconds on the in-game clock) all indestructible blocks will disappear from the map making the entire playing field destructible and giving players no place to hide.

ach game consists of 10 rounds and the player with the most points wins.[/color]

[color=#FC6400]Profile breakdown.[/color]

[color=#f6b913]Here is where we're going to over the profile and it's stats.[/color]

[img]http://i.imgur.com/uNeLbEB.png[/img]

[color=#f6b913]Ranking - This stat is currently not in use anymore.

Number of games played - The number of rounds played.

Players killed / Deaths - How many players you've killed / How many times you've died.

Games won -  How many games you've won.

Rounds won - How many rounds you've been the last one standing.[/color]

[color=#FC6400]Tournament matches breakdown.[/color]

[color=#f6b913]Tournament matches begin taking players every 15 minutes and starts 2 minutes after registration. The player that wins the round moves on while everyone else is eliminated and will have to wait till the next tournament to get another chance.

At the moment each round has a random amount of players, varying from 2 to a full room so there's no telling who you'll end up with !

Currently there is no way of telling how many rounds are left till someone is the victor, there's no prize for winning rounds at the moment and there is nothing informing who had won the tournament yet. Stay tuned because changes are yet to be made. [/color]

[color=#FC6400]Currency explained.[/color]

[color=#f6b913]The way the currency works is simple, you pick up nut tiles from the blocks you explode and players you kill. No one else can see these tiles but you and your nut tiles can't be blown up/have bombs placed over them so take your time !

Currently you can only get 2 nuts per round up to 5 if you missed any last round.[/color]

[color=#FC6400]Inconvenience and bugs.[/color]

[#de][color=#FC6400]Tips and Tricks[/color]

1 Flame Defense

[color=#f6b913]Sometimes the best offense is a good defense. The 1 flame defense is where players don't pick up any Fire-up (range) tiles and only go for Bomb-ups. With the lack of fire these players have they can deflect other's bomb explosions with ease but at the cost of killing.

Near the end of the round the player can either choose to get the power up tiles that had spawned through the de-spawning of non-penetrable blocks or go all out with one flame. Note that going the entire round with 1 flame relies on the other player(s) killing each other/them selves.

(This strategy is not recommended for new players and is sort of frowned upon).[/color]

Using power ups as bait.

[color=#f6b913]Use power-ups as bait. A lot of people like trying to steal your power ups and using them as bait can lead to some fairly easy kills if done right. In most cases people are too busy looking at all the power ups on the screen to notice that there in your bombs range.[/color]

1:20 "Vanish" period.

[color=#f6b913]Never stand behind indestructible blocks when they're disappearing. 9 times out of 10 you'll get yourself killed. This is a mistake commonly made by new players but even I'm guilty of doing it sometimes. You should only stand behind an indestructible block when they're disappearing as a last resort if you can't escape.[/color]

Penetration for skull bombs.

[color=#f6b913]If you see them be sure to hide behind 2 blocks instead of one, or behind an indestructible one. Otherwise the flames will go right through the first, hit you, and stop at the second block in it's path.[/color]

Star bombs, troll timer.

[color=#f6b913]Never, ever run out in front of star bombs unless you really have too. There's no predicting when they'll go off so it's a huge risk and is often avoidable. Just be aware of your surroundings and be sure to look for alternate routes if you find yourself being chased down by someone with these type of bombs.[/color]

Learning the default time for explosions, and the minimal/maximum explosion time for Star bombs.

[color=#f6b913]This is one of the most critical things you should learn if you're going to be good at Bouboum.

You should learn how long it takes for the bombs to explode so you'll know if you have enough time to get out of the way or not. This is kind of a big part of the game in my opinion and surely something you're going to want to pick up on to help your avoidability and even tactics in general.[/color] [/#de]
