About This Game

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?

User Reviews
Devs are leveraging the review process to verify ownership for leaderboard placement. I can't leave an honest review yet, as I've only done the first level, but I want to see my leaderboard progress as I play, so...
The more I spent my time playing this game, the more brain cells I lost for it. :< This is a puzzle-solving game which require the understanding for logic gates and timing, the more I play, the more difficult it get. If you are trying to find a great strategy with precise timing and hardcore game, this is a game I am going to recommend it. Thank the publisher and developer for making me feel dumb with this game <3
The recent "The Fastest Hand Event" is totally a carnival of crazy CHEATERS, of course including MYSELF. It is IGNOMINIOUS that all top players sell their souls to just $100, and that the developers are totally unaware of all these apparent cheating activities. We all should be nailed to the pillar of shame. Any conscientious steam user needs to look at what we've done. Hope everyone can realize why he/she buy and play a game, and what fair competition is.
Really fun campaign and workshop. I looked up other logic gate-related games, but the bomb idea won me over. Campaign becomes a bit rough from chapter 7-9, but the satisfaction of completing the puzzle makes it so much more rewarding. Few concerns: -Progress does not save properly in campaign mode; although I've completed all of campaign, chapters 8 and 9 are still locked. -I noticed the leaderboard doesn't take my name most of the time (even though I have completed some bombs quickly). [b]What I would like to see added:[/b] -Addition of common gates; NOT, NAND, NOR. Maybe even introduce MUX (multiplexers) or 7-segment display further on? -Allowing OR/AND gates to be made with more than 2 or 3 inputs; let us choose how many gates to add in the workshop.
Good game, some missions is kinda difficult but it's very fun to play
Absolute hard, I can't beat the game, but this game really knows how to utilize these basic components 10/10 recommend
Amazing game, this game teaches the basics of eletronic components while you defuse the bomb. The Level are superb, also a well-designed level editor, hope to see people start making their own bomb
[b]Who knew defusing bombs could be so much fun?[/b] This game is a blast, it's like Dark Souls but with bombs. You gotta be careful with every move you make, or the dreaded explosion sound keeps banging your head. You might even start to feel like a real-life bomb expert. Indeed it is a hardcore game, I mean like millions of lives would depend on your every move, but you'll find some stages amusing and easy to take, guess the developers and publishers have some sense of humor. Workshop is also available for this game, you could be the bomb technician or the wildest terrorist. [i]At least those IoT course sessions in universities won't go to waste![/i] ^V^
The greatest game ever played!!
