Bombs don't live particulary long and you always had a short fuse, anyway. You have 10 seconds to live, but it only ticks down when you're holding the torch. Get it as far away from you as possible by any means necessary and be the last bomb standing!

Fun and frantic, single player only.


CONTROLS:

WSAD to move, MOUSE to aim


Hold LMB to charge, release to THROW

1 - 2 - 3 to use power-ups.


PERKS

Pick one before the match starts. You keep it the whole way through.

LONG FUSE - You start with 13 seconds of fuse instead of 10. 

QUICK FEET - 25% faster on your feet.

DEEP POCKETS - A fourth power-up slot.

ELUSIVE - The game quietly thinks you're standing further away than you actually are.

FIZZLE OUT - The first time your fuse hits zero you don't explode; you fling the torch away and stroll off like nothing happened. The second time it reaches you, you die instantly.

PAY IT FORWARD - Throw the torch to anyone except the person who handed it to you and you get a sliver of fuse time back. 

SECOND WIND - Once you drop under 3 seconds your fuse slowly starts growing back.

THIEF - Your first power-up slot is replaced by STEAL: get close to someone and take whatever they were saving for a special occasion. Ten-second cooldown.

POWER-UPS

Scattered around the arena. Walk over one to pocket it, press 1-3 to use it.

Rewind - Instantly claws back 3 seconds of fuse.

Slow Burn - For two seconds your fuse burns at a quarter speed.

Hot Seat - Whoever's holding a torch starts burning 60% faster. 

Sticky Hands - The current holder's throw wind-up gets six times longer for five seconds.

Butterfingers - The holder's next throw goes to a completely random person regardless of where they aimed.

Ghost - You fade out for three seconds and become completely untargetable.

NOT IT - For 3 seconds any throw aimed at you bounces straight off onto the nearest other person. It even catches a torch that's already mid-air.

Shockwave - Everyone within 5 metres gets launched outwards and upwards, briefly losing all control.

Blink - Teleport instantly to wherever your cursor is pointing.

Kamikaze - Burns your own fuse to nothing, counts down from 3 above your head, then eliminates everyone within 5 metres — including you.
