Bomb Sweeper

Template:Infobox Bomb Sweeper is a dual-screen Game & Watch game that was originally released on June 15, 1987, and is featured as an unlockable minigame in Game & Watch Gallery 4. In the game, a policeman and a character named John Solver attempt to stop a character named Dynamite Jack, who plants bombs underground town. Jack carries a bomb and jumps into a manhole, and the player as John must jump into the hole and travel through a maze to retrieve the bomb before time runs out. In order to go forward, the player needs to push walls, but they cannot push a wall forward if another one is ahead. After the player completes a round, John returns aboveground, and the player earns 100 points; the amount of time they had left gets added to their score as bonus points.

In Game A, the game starts with 10 displays. After the player completes them, the wall on the left side begins moving from left to right. Here, the player needs to push walls to make a path. As the player advances, the remaining distance is displayed in the digital display above. When it reaches zero, the player needs to retrieve the bomb displayed in the aboveground screen to complete the level. After that, the player will earn bonus points. The mazes are the same in every game. Sometimes several bombs appear in each maze, but the player needs to retrieve only one of them.

In Game B, the player must retrieve the bomb while they push the walls, and the player must retrieve one of the two bombs that are displayed in every display. After completing 15 displays, the player clears a level and earns bonus points. Each time the player plays, however, a different maze appears.

If the timer reaches zero before a bomb is retrieved, the maze will explode and the player will get a miss. The player will also get a miss if they become trapped between the left and right walls and the wall moving to the right squashes them. When the player gets three misses, they receive a Game Over.
