'Splosion Man — The main character of the game, Splosion Man, was created by the fictional laboratory Big Science. The character is made entirely of explosive material. The goal of the game is to complete a series of levels consisting of puzzles, traps, and enemies in order to escape the facility. An explosion is essentially a jump, and can also be used to kill enemies, destroy walls, detonate explosive barrels, or activate other effects. The character can explode up to 3 times in a row, after which he will need to take a break to replenish his supplies. When playing cooperatively, each player is represented by a different color to differentiate them from others. All players share the same screen, which grows and shrinks depending on how close the players are to each other.
