PrinceWatercress plays Ka-Blooey - Part 2 of 25


We get introduced to a few more game mechanics in Levels 11 through 15. Be ready to think a little more.


Level 11

To activate switches, walk up to them and hold A or X until the countdown timer goes all the way down, just like when you detonate bombs. When a switch is down, it is in an activated state.

The set of four brown circles that spins around is an enemy, and it usually turns to the right when it reaches the end of a row or column. Bomb explosions will kill enemies, and removal of tiles from underneath enemies will drop them into the water and kill them, should the tile disappear while the enemy is on them.

Mines detonate when stepped on and will kill you. Bombs can be used to get mines out of the way. There are small mines and large mines, and the small mines have a pretty short range. Mines count as bombs and must be destroyed to complete a level.

Hit the switch at the beginning, then detonate the nearby small bomb. Head to the right, then blow the bomb after the cracked tile up. Hit the nearby switch, then detonate the small bomb in the lower-left corner. Blow up either the center right or top right small bomb in the set of six small bombs, then step to the right. Blow up the lone small bomb and move up, then go to the right. Blow up the small bomb in the upper-left and step to the right.

Level 12

The aerial bombs have satellites on them, and when you blow one up, they all blow up simultaneously. Like the regular bombs, they also come in small, medium and large sizes.

Move the small bomb on the slot tiles at the start down one tile, then detonate it and move up. Go up to the slot tiles to the right and move the medium bomb to the mine, then detonate the nearby small bomb and move up. Move the medium aerial bomb on the next set of slot tiles one tile left, then detonate the small aerial bomb and move right. Put the small bomb in the last set of slot tiles in the top right tile of the "rectangle," then place the medium bomb one tile down, place a large bomb one tile down on the lower-left tile and the other large bomb to the left of it on the lower-right tile. Detonate the small bomb and move up.

Level 13

The bombs that swell from small to medium to large to medium to small and so on and so forth are called swell bombs. Wait for the bomb to be the desired size before detonating the bomb or a bomb right next to it.

The little blue guy is a robot. He can be pulled out of the ground by holding A or X while standing on him, much like activating a switch or detonating a bomb. The blue robot can move past bombs, and they can also be used to detonate bombs from a distance by holding A or X. They can also run into mines to take them out from a distance, but this destroys the robot.

The tiles with the bolts in them are called rivet tiles. They cannot be destroyed by bomb explosions, unlike other tiles.

Move the blue guy to the swell bomb in the lower-left corner and detonate it when small. Then, detonate the small bomb in the lower-right corner and move left.

Level 14

Detonate the swell bomb near the teleporter when the swell bomb is large, then step into the teleporter.

Level 15

Move the medium bomb on the slot tiles in the lower-left corner one tile to the right. Detonate the swell bomb in the upper-right corner when the swell bomb is small, then move down. Go to the swell bomb south of the nearby mine and detonate it when it is small, then move down. Detonate the small bomb in the lower-right corner, then move left. Move the swell bomb on the nearby slot tiles one tile left, then place the small bomb to the right of it. Go to the small bomb in the top center and detonate it, then move back to the swell bomb. Detonate the small bomb near the swell bomb when the swell bomb is medium, then move down.
