About the Protect the CPU map

Inspired by a popular internet trend, Protect the CPU is a minigame where your goal is to survive for as long as possible by deflecting the fireballs that ghasts shoot at you. One mistake is all it takes to have the entire TNT floor crumble under your feet. So, unless you are really curious about what your CPU can handle, you’d better watch out for the ghasts!

How to Play

Use your hand or the stick you are given during the tutorial to hit back the fireballs that ghasts shoot at you.

When the tutorial ends and ghasts start spawning, the scoreboard on the right side of your screen will keep track of all the seconds you manage to stay alive, as well as how many ghasts spawn and how many you kill.

At specific time intervals the frequency of ghasts will increase, so be ready to up your strategy if you want to survive long enough to beat the game!

Keep in mind that if a fireball hits the ground, it’s game over! Don’t worry too much about your CPU though, as there is a system to stop the explosion once you are dead. The screenshot above is only for dramatic effect.
