About the Game

Experience the high-stakes world of chaos in this thrilling game! As a bomb-defusing expert, it's your duty to protect innocent lives from the terrorists' deadly explosives that threaten our cities. Time is of the essence, as these bombs are set to detonate within moments.

Master the art of understanding current flow as you work against the clock to disable the detonator. But be cautious! Once a wire is cut, there's no going back, and a wrong move could lead to an inevitable explosion.

Each component follows its own logical rules, so stay focused and steer clear of triggering disaster. The countdown is on, and the pressure is intense.

Introducing the Workshop mode, where you can unleash your creativity and embrace the dark side. Ever dreamed of being a mastermind behind these lethal devices? The possibilities are endless as you construct your very own bombs using an array of components at your disposal. Build and fine-tune your creation with ease, then share your devious designs with the world through the integrated Steam Workshop. No external tools are required—everything you need is within the game.

Put your logical thinking skills to the ultimate test across hundreds of challenging stages. Will you rise to the occasion and save the innocent? With every wire you cut, every switch you flip, and every second that ticks away, the fate of countless lives hangs in the balance.



Find a way to disarm the bombs, navigate the intricate components, and remember one thing above all else—it's ticking. Can you handle the pressure?
