Bombs parachute onto the screen, each with a fuse timer counting down on its belly. Tap a bomb to snip its fuse — every one that reaches zero explodes and costs a heart. Timers shrink and bombs stack up the longer you last. 3 blasts and it's over.
👆 Tap a bomb to snip its fuse ← All gamesDefuse! puts you on a one-person bomb squad. Round black bombs parachute in and hover over the floor, each wearing a countdown on its belly and a ring that drains from green through yellow to red as the fuse burns. One tap on a bomb snips the fuse for a +5 bonus; a bomb that reaches zero goes off with a screen-shaking blast and takes one of your three hearts with it. Unlike a whack-a-mole where targets flee, here every bomb is patient — the pressure comes entirely from the clocks, and from choosing which of several clocks is closest to zero.

Tap anywhere near a bomb to snip it — the hit zone is generous, so you don't need pixel accuracy. The first bombs give you a full four seconds each and arrive at a gentle pace. As your run stretches on, fuses shorten toward two and a half seconds, bombs drop in faster, and up to three tick away at once. Points also trickle in over time just for surviving, so staying alive is itself a score strategy.
Read the rings, not the digits — a red ring anywhere on screen outranks whatever you were about to tap. When two bombs land close together, snip them in one quick double-tap rather than checking timers between taps. And never idle near the middle: keeping your thumb loosely centered means every corner of the screen is half a screen away at most, which matters once three fuses burn at once.
