BOMBANANA CHAOS Modules
Slider, Pressure, and Alarm are different from the 11 standard puzzles. You do not solve them like Piano or Maze — you manage them while the rest of the bomb is still being handled.
Choose the CHAOS module interrupting your run and jump straight to its guide.

What's different about a CHAOS module?
A standard puzzle has a state you solve. A CHAOS module interrupts the run and has to be managed alongside it.

| Uses a dedicated solver | Uses a management guide |
