Blast Chamber is a 3D puzzle action game where up to four players are trapped in a rotatable cube-shaped chamber, fighting each other in order to survive (or just die the least times) using the environment's numerous traps and powerups to their advantage.
You have a timebomb strapped to your chest. The clock is ticking. Your goal is to survive.

The AIMAPS, BINARYM2 and BINARYM3 directories contain files for three multiplayer chambers that were axed late during development.
Cover Up
"Cover Up" (CUBE05M) features, per face, a single pit door and platform that covers the reactor once stepped on. Available powerups include Mercuries and Crystal Bombs. The A.I. is mostly functional, but are unable to jump and trigger the platform.

Elevators
"Elevators" (CUBE11M) features a pair of four-spike groups on either the upper or lower corners of each face, along with a platform the player must step on in order to be elevated and reach the reactor. Available powerups include Hi-Jumps and Timebombs. The A.I. once again struggles with platforms, this time trying to jump on the elevators from the front, hitting the goal's platform from below in the process.

Lava Leap
"Lava Leap" (CUBE26M) features a pair of spikes on the upper corners of the face, a small lava pit and a trigger-controlled platform above it where the crystal spawns. Available powerups include Crystal Magnets, Paralyzers and Psy-bombs. The A.I. does not attempt to use the platforms, but may pick up Crystal Magnets to obtain the crystal.
