The world only moves when you type. Type better.

Vimberman is a browser Bomberman-like where every move is a Vim command. No arrow keys. No spacebar. You survive with hjkl, counts, word hops, find motions, real edits, and undo — and the world advances **one tick per completed command**. Twelve taps of l give the zombies twelve turns. 12l gives them one.

That's the whole game: Vim's editing philosophy — *move farther with fewer keys* — becomes the difference between a clean escape and a very educational explosion.
