About the Game

SHORT FUSE

Gather your convoy and hit the road through forests, canyons, mountain passes, sandstorms, and blizzards. Routes are extremely challenging, and the cargo is highly explosive. A true test for your vehicle - and for your friendship.

DELIVER THE CARGO INTACT

Each run has a goal.
The team must deliver enough cargo to meet the quota and unlock the next route. Sounds simple, but the cargo is extremely unstable. It shifts during turns, bounces on rough terrain, slams against the walls, and takes damage from every mistake the driver makes. Damage the cargo too severely, and it will explode - destroying your vehicle and any teammate’s vehicle nearby.

EVERY PLAYER, THEIR OWN VEHICLE

You can choose one of four vehicles:

  • Pickup: Light and agile, perfect for scouting the route.

  • SUV: Power and full-wheel drive.

  • Truck: Not the fastest, but reliable.

  • Tractor-trailer: The star of the show. Big cargo - big risk. Handle with care.
    Each vehicle is unique in terms of off-road capability, speed, handling, and cargo capacity.

TEAMWORK

Embark on a run solo or with up to four players.
Work together to guide the convoy through dangerous terrain - or create total chaos.
Be careful: colliding with a teammate’s vehicle can have irreversible consequences. Or go rogue - cut your friends off on hairpin turns and knock them off cliffs.
But remember: the main thing is delivering enough cargo.

FEATURES

  • Physics-based cargo that moves freely inside the vehicle

  • Cargo damage from collisions and shaking
