How to play:
Rombo is a first person action game where your point is to find the Black Rombo after battling with the evil mage's minions. Your weapon is your fireball magic spell, which requires mana to cast. Mana potions can be found around the levels, but your mana will refill as the time passes.
To finish each map you have to find its exit, which is always heavily guarded and usually behind some locked areas. To unlock areas you must find the appropriate keys. If you stand in front of a door that requires a key you do not have, the key will flash at the top left corner of the screen.
To increase your score, you can pick up treasure items which can be found around the levels. However the best treasures are hidden in secret areas - these can be revealed by going near the wall where the area is and clicking on it (the cursor will become a hand as shown below). Also killing monsters increases your score. At the bottom part of the screen you can see how many monsters are alive in the level.
Below is a table with the keys you can use with Rombo:
| Key | Action |
| Arrows, W/A/S/D | Turn, move forward/backward |
| Q/E or Space+Left/Right or Space+A/D | Strafe left/right |
| Shift | Turn 180 degrees (quick turn) |
| Tab, F6 or Page Up (depends on browser) | Switch to fullscreen mode. (note: due to Flash security limitations only the arrow keys and space are available in fullscreen mode when using Flash Player 10. In Flash Player 9 the fullscreen mode is not available because keyboard is totally disabled when using fullscreen). |
| Left mouse button | Interact: use the mouse to aim on the screen and move the cursor over the items. The cursor changes depending on what will be performed if you click:
 | You cannot interact with the item |
 | Pick up the item, or open the door |
 | Attack the monster with a fireball |
 | Currently you cannot interact with the item |
|
At least Flash Player 9 is required, but Flash Player 10 is highly recommended for smooth gameplay.
If you want to put Rombo on your own web page or you have a portal with Flash games, you can download the distribution package from here. This package contains the Rombo SWF file and a thumbnail you might want to use (you can also use the logo from this site if you like).
