okay bestie, sit down, we're playing a game from the Games Manual section and honestly? it's giving childhood nostalgia and I'm obsessed 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

🛫 SYNOPSIS 🛫

no flags, no arguments, no nothing — you literally just type it and go. main character energy fr fr 👑

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so bombardier is the GNU Bombing utility. like, that's the whole thing. 🫶

and now the lore: this was one of the author's favourite games on Commodore Plus 4 when he was a child 🥹 — so cute, so iconic. your task, bestie, is to bomb down cities. 💣🏙️

how do you do that? with a 3 character wide airplane ✈️ that can drop 3 character tall bombs onto the ugly # based houses. yes, the houses are literally made of #. it's giving ASCII art and we're here for it.

and the win condition? if you can bomb down all of the houses, you can land with your plane 🛬, and in that case the challenge will continue on the next city. literally never-ending slay. Good luck! 🍀
