A downloadable game for Windows

The door's welded shut. The bomb is live. MacGoober has a screwdriver, a turkey baster, and a warm beer — everything a professional needs.

Poke the bomb. Combine things that should never be combined. Every route ends in an explosion, which the game — and MacGoober — will insist was a successful defusal. Find all the endings; each ending card teaches you something that unlocks the next, funnier one.

Two bombs. One expert. Zero survivors of his expertise.

• Click objects to see what MacGoober can do to them. That's the whole control scheme. Vicki hands him things; he takes the credit.

• The clock only moves while you act. Reading is free — poke everything.

• Ending cards are keys, not trophies: what a card tells you is next run's shortcut to a deeper, dumber route.

• The COLLECTION wall tracks what you've found. If a slot still says ???, something in the room is still legal to be wrong about.
