RE-FUSE-AL
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.

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.

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!!!
