Bomb

Bomb tiles are specialty tiles in Spell Rift. They first appear in the second level of World 1.

Appearance:

Bombs are black tiles, with five red lights in a ring. The letter is in the center. The red lights turn off one by one, indicating how many turns you have

to use it before it explodes.


 * 5 lights = 5 turns


 * 4 lights = 4 turns

And so on...

What they do:

Unlike other specialty tiles that slide in, bombs appear when a tile falls, revealing it. The player must use it in five turns, as indicated by the lights. Row killers do not detonate bombs, they go away, just like most other tiles. If bombs are not used in these five moves, they detonate, blowing up the game board and ending the level in failure.

Bombs appear in several levels, but Path of Perils is where they first appear. As levels progress, the frequency of bombs increase, and, therefore, the difficulty of the level Trivia:


 * Bombs in Spell Rift are an upgraded design of the same tiles from Lexic, with Lexic's bombs appearing as a simple letter tile with five round lights in the corner.
 * One of the three bonus levels, Minefield, revolves around bombs, forcing the player to detonate bombs in waves.
 * Bombs, along with row killers, appear prominently in the twelfth level, Explosives.
 * They are worth 3 bonus points.
