A couch multiplayer game for those who like blowing things up.
Gone Fission! is my take on a strategy game that was a popular PD/Shareware title for the 16 bit microcomputers. To win, eliminate up to 3 other players by blowing up your tiles and claiming their squares.
How To Play
⬅️⬆️⬇️➡️ - move cursor
❎ place atom
🅾️ next player (2+ human players only).
- Place an atom on any empty square on the board.
- You can use your next turn to place an atom on another empty square or on top of your current atom.
- After up to 4 atoms are placed on an empty square (2 in corners, and 3 in sides) they explode, throwing the atoms onto adjacent squares and turning them your colour.
- Cause chain reactions by blowing up multiple squares at a time.
This game is designed to be played by up to 4 players, with 3 difficulty levels of computers should you wish. You can also choose your colour atoms and set your name.

v0.3 - First public release
Nice! I remember the source games fondly, and this one works very well. I thought I was dominating the game, right up until I lost in a huge explosion :)
Glad you liked it @SaltySalticid :). Yeah one thing I've enjoyed in the 7 or so hours since I put it out has been all the folks sharing their versions they remember, usually as coverdisk fillers. :)
This is so much fun. Great presentation, great mechanics. Awesome!
Great game. I'm sure I played a version of this with a friend on their Amstrad CPC64.
The computer controlled opponents are really tough on hard mode.
Glad you liked it @Max0sirus & @dredds. Yeah there are loads of versions of this game.
Hard CPU pretty much plays the best move every turn, and it has an agression meter (it will target weaker players).
This is really good. Was fun seeing the massive chainreactions later in the game.
Had a fun time playing with this. So satisfying to take the whole grid with one single chain explosion haha!
I was intrigued by this game every since I stumbled upon the dev stream, and certainly it was worth the wait! The game is fun and the back and forth was thrilling. I'm not sure where you wanted the CPU to arrive in strength, I feel like medium might need a bit more tuning upwards (I wasn't expected to win my first game against them), but if you like them this, forget my rambling! I kinda wish we had an ost for BG music, but I know that is not that easy! Otherwise, awesome little game!
Thanks for the kind words @Achie72 :)
I've added maybe a slight tweak upwards to the "Medium" difficulty :)
Yeah music isn't my strong point 🤣
