Smash Boom Bash is a game from the early days of Mac OS X. The object
of the game is to use your tank to splatter all the bugs before they
can eat the humans on the board. When all the bugs on a level have
been smooshed the next level starts. If the bugs manage to frag all
the humans on a level the game is over. You only get one life.
There are four ways to kill bugs:
* Shoot them with the tank's gun
* Run them down with the tank
* Blow the game board out from under them
* If a bug walks over a bullet that has stopped bouncing
Incidentally these same techniques also work on humans, so you need to
be careful. If more than half of your tank's hover jets are not over
the board your tank will fall, and the game is over.
To move the tank click on the game board and your tank will turn to
face the direction of the destination and then move forward until it
reaches your desired destination. You can click elsewhere and the tank
will start moving towards that direction instead.
To fire press the Space Bar or if you have a two button mouse, right
click. The gun will fire a projectile at the game board where your
mouse pointer is pointing. Aiming is quite tricky because you need to
lead your target due to the bullet's travel time. When the bullet
lands it will bounce. On every bounce the bullet will damage the tile
it lands on. If a tile takes damage it will get darker.
Compatibility

Works fine on anything between Mac OS X 10.0.4 and 10.4.11. If the sky
box textures get corrupted on your Mac, try dropping the color depth
to 16 bit color mode.
