About Boom Duello
Boom Duello is a fast-paced 2-player TNT battle game where only one can survive. Face off against your friend on two unique maps, plan your moves, place your TNT wisely, and blow your opponent away to claim victory.
Judged as a action game, Boom Duello hits the notes you would hope for: a satisfying rhythm once you learn the patterns, short, intense rounds and clear feedback on every hit or miss. The skills it leans on are hand-eye coordination and staying calm under pressure; both improve noticeably after a few sessions.

Tips and tricks
- Keep moving. Standing still is the most common way to lose an action round, because the game is designed to punish hesitation.
- Watch the edges of the screen, not just your character. New threats almost always enter from the sides or the top, and spotting them early gives you a full second of extra time.
- When you die, note exactly what killed you. The answer is usually one specific pattern, and fixing that one thing is worth more than "trying harder".
- Sound is a cue. Many action games telegraph attacks with an audio effect a moment before the visual one — play with sound on when you are learning.
- Because this is a Action game, keep moving.
