You are a living bomb. The fuse burns only while you stand still.
Keep moving — or explode.

THE GAME
Fuse is a neon arcade survival game with one rule: never stop moving. The moment your speed drops to zero, the fuse starts burning — and a lit fuse means game over.
Thread the arena, dodge hunters that learn your moves, grab score sparks from dangerous corners, and chain close calls for bonus points. How long can you keep the fuse cold?
Every run is a negotiation with panic. The arena starts calm — one hunter, a few sparks — but the longer you survive, the faster and smarter the pressure gets: new hunter types join the chase, patrol lanes tighten, and the safe routes you memorised stop being safe. Your score is your survival time plus everything you dared to grab along the way, and your best runs follow you: sign in and your records, skins and coins sync across devices and onto the global leaderboard.
ARSENAL
DASH
Double-tap to burst through trouble with brief invulnerability. Watch the cooldown.
HUNTERS
Chasers, Trappers that cut you off, and Sweepers patrolling lanes. They escalate fast.
POWER-UPS
Freeze every hunter, magnetize sparks, or shield one fatal hit.
CLOSE CALLS
Graze hunters without touching them for up to 200 bonus points. Risk pays.
HOW TO PLAY
- Move with the on-screen joystick, drag, or WASD / arrow keys.
- Never stand still — a stopped bomb is a dead bomb.
- Double-tap to dash through hunters.
- Grab sparks and power-ups. Dodge everything else.
- Your best score syncs across devices and hits the global leaderboard.
THREE WAYS TO PLAY
CLASSIC SURVIVAL
The original mode. One bomb, endless hunters, a leaderboard to climb. Survive, score, and set the run your friends have to beat. Daily play is ranked — paid boosts never touch a daily run, so the board stays honest.
1V1 DUEL
Challenge a friend with a code and play head-to-head in the same arena. Both players dodge the same hunters with their own loadouts — winner takes 25 coins and the bragging rights. No account needed for your guest.
BATTLE ROYALE
A shrinking arena, a pack of rival bombs, and one survivor. Place in the money and you take home coins — 50 for the win. Last bomb ticking takes the crown.

COINS, SKINS & THE SHOP
Fuse runs on coins, and coins are earned by playing: one for every 100 points in Classic, 25 for a Duel win, up to 50 for a Royale victory, and a 10-coin bonus just for showing up each day. Coins buy the fun stuff — bomb skins and trail effects (including duel-exclusive designs and the 1,000-coin Vault skin that unlocks the whole wardrobe), extra Revives so a great run does not have to end, and Power Starts that begin your run with Freeze, Magnet and Shield already armed.
Everything in the shop can be earned in game. Optional coin packs and premium unlocks exist for players who want to skip the grind, and the Android app offers the same items through Google Play. Skins are cosmetic and boosts are for casual runs — ranked daily play is kept clean on purpose, because a leaderboard you can buy is not a leaderboard.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Is Fuse free to play?
Yes. The web version is completely free with no sign-up, and the Android app is a free download. Optional purchases (coin packs, skins, boosts) exist, but everything in the shop can also be earned by playing.
Do I need an account?
No — you can play instantly as a guest. Creating a free account saves your best scores, coins, skins and settings across devices and puts your name on the global leaderboard.
Where can I play Fuse?
Right here in any modern browser (phone, tablet or computer), and on Android via Google Play — search "Fuse – Arcade Survival" by Fuse Lab Games. An iPhone version is in testing now.
How does the fuse actually work?
Your bomb's fuse burns only while you are standing still. Keep moving and it stays cold; stop — to think, to hesitate, to admire the scenery — and it burns down fast. The full rules are in the player guide.
What are coins for?
Coins are earned in every mode and spent in the shop on skins, trail effects, Revives and Power Starts. Duel wins and Royale placements pay the most.
