Game overview

TNT is a chain-reaction puzzle where you get far fewer clicks than there are barrels. Setting one off throws sparks into its neighbours, so the goal is to find the barrel whose blast radius starts a cascade that takes the rest of the stack with it. Later boards space the barrels out deliberately, and clearing them means detonating in an order rather than picking the biggest cluster.

This title is best suited to players who like chain-reaction boards with a tight move budget.

How to play TNT

  1. Look at how the barrels are spaced and which ones sit within blast range
  2. Click the barrel that starts the longest cascade
  3. Let the chain finish before spending another click
  4. Clear every barrel within the click limit

Tips for TNT

  • Start at the densest cluster and trace outward before clicking anything
  • A barrel just outside a blast radius is the one that needs its own click
  • Wait for the cascade to settle; early clicks waste your budget
