Goldboom3D

The fuse is the countdown.

There's gold buried under this town, and the only thing that reaches it is a burning rope. The flame never waits it eats the fuse one piece at a time and dies the moment it hits an open end.

So you run ahead of it, laying track.

How it works

• Build ahead of the fire in 4 Levels. You can loot diffrent Fuses: Straights, curves, T-splits and crosses. You place them while the flame is already coming.
• Split the flame. A T-split turns one fire front into two. A cross makes four. Send one at the target, send others to optional bonus powder barrel.
• Burned rope is ash. No refunds. Only pieces the fire hasn't reached yet can be picked back up plan the route, don't just react to it.
• Barrels clear the way. Light one and it blows every crate in range, and that's how you resupply. Crates drop pieces.
• Blow the gold. And get your score.

Jump	Space
Place piece	Left Mouse
Remove piece	Right Mouse

Movement is Source/Quake style ground acceleration, air strafing and bunny hopping all work, and you'll want them.

Q/E is context-sensitive: aim at a placed piece to rotate that piece, otherwise you rotate the ghost.

Everything except the hotbar and mouse wheel is rebindable in Settings.
