Strategy

Bomb Jumping
You place a bomb right where you stand, don't move and when it starts blinking, jump. This will allow you to gain a lot of height.

To perform a double bomb jump, throw two bombs in quick succession, then the same as above.

Triple bomb jumping doesn't work and will get you killed.

You can do angled bomb jumping by careful placement in relation to the bomb.

Misplace bombs of other players trying to bomb jump with the bat.

Scan your surroundings for bombs, about to explode, which you can use for a jump.

You can also use the setup of other players to steal yourself a bomb jump, but they will probably bat you in panic.

(I think this should go under its own category in tricks or something)

Bomb Spamming
I consider bomb spamming to be the Eddy Gordo of Bombernauts.

It's just button mashing, done a lot by beginners and it often yields positive results, but just as often kills yourself.

But I don't say you shouldn't bomb spam. There are two approaches, mindlessly creating chaos and strategically placing your opponent in an unforeseeable situation.

Throw the bombs and run into a safe place. Throw bombs from high to low ground. Seek out places where the blast won't push you in the water.

Oftentimes the bat is used to spread the bombs all around you or to hit them in a certain direction, but also to create a little safe space so the bombs won't hit you just as hard.

You might want to avoid jumping because then the blast will likely launch you even further away.

Bomb spamming during flight is also very effective.

Consider The First Bomb
When you throw a lot of bombs at once, the first bomb you throw will explode first and thus send every other bomb in a certain direction. You can use this to your advantage by placing bombs in a pattern that will surprise your enemy with an onslaught of bombs.

Curling
With very weak throws you can send a bomb slowly sliding with enough time on the ice to explode and push your enemy in the water.
