RE-FUSE-AL by haunted-circus

made by haunted-circus for Ludum Dare 50 (COMPO)

Juggle the lit fuse between multiple bombs for as long as you can

One bomb is lit at a time. You can pass the flame onto the fuse of another bomb. When the bomb is not lit, the fuse regenerates, but at a slower pace than it burns while lit, so you need to juggle the spark between all 4 to survive.

Use the arrow keys to move and the r key to restart.

I managed to stay alive for 77 seconds! Quite fun game once I got the hang of it.

The mechanics of transferring the flame was a bit finicky and at times it was hard to get the game to do what I wanted it to. The bombs would spawn under or too close and there didn't seem to be a good way to know which bomb was lit without waiting. A sprite for the flame/lit bomb would have gone a long way!

Overall good game!! Thanks for the uploading!!!

This is such a good idea and bang on the theme! I love simple little game like this.
Once I'd figured it out I couldn't get far past 60 seconds :') when they switch round it is a bit confusing, maybe coloured bombs would help?

Simple, fun, good. It's kinda hard to tell which fuse is lit, but maybe that is the point.

I had no idea what was going on the first few times, then it finally clicked, haha!

I agree with everyone else, when switching over bombs, it was hard to tell which one was which. Though great implementation of the theme. Very simple execution.
