Sokoban meets Bomberman, but it has cats!

Tip #0: Your goal is to detonate all the bombs and kill none of the cats. But you only have 1 detonator.

This highly experimental mash-up of classic game mechanics is your playground to explore. Try out elements of the levels to learn and overcome obstacles. Some rules and details of this game are obvious at first glance, others are less or more hidden in the interactions.

Test the possibilities, and share your findings in the comments :)

Controls are intuitive - Arrows and Space/Num0. 
Skip a level by Enter. Restart a level by Home.

Disclaimers:  

1. For now, it is not guaranteed every level has a solution. If you encounter an obviously impossible level, feel free to skip it by hitting Enter. 

2. You may rarely (but still) run into situations which don't behave as intended. However, most of the interactions obey well defined rules - use what you have learned and you will be rewarded by a satisfying solution to the puzzle.

3. Some hints to the content are included. Not including a full tutorial or written help inside the game is intentional and part of the experiment. 

Bonus: Once you encounter a level you particularly like, press C to open a textbox with the level seed and share it with other players. Any number pasted in the textbox will generate a unique level.
