The story of Blasto revolves around two players controlling tanks in a top-down game. The objective is to clear as many mines and obstacles as possible before time runs out. However, there's an added layer of complexity - if you're too close to a mine when shooting it, your own tank will explode.
Gameplay involves navigating the field, avoiding mines and obstacles while trying not to get hit by enemy fire. In two-player mode, players must also be mindful of their opponent's presence on the screen, as collisions can result in an immediate defeat.
