Why don't you just DELETE the bomb?

In ZIPBOMB.zip you have to defuse a live explosive by solving puzzles using your file explorer.

This was a game made for the 2026 GMTK Game Jam

HOW TO PLAY:

This game requires you to access the game's files in order to play it. You can access them by pressing Windows + R and inputing  

%localappdata%/GMTK_2026

You will find all the files you'll need to touch there, do not look inside the BACKUPS folder in the install due to containing spoilers. 

CONTROLS:

You  can move using WASD or arrow keys

To interact with things, you use the UP arrow key or W

To skip dialogue you use the DOWN arrow key or S

There's also gamepad support, but the game requires a Keyboard and Mouse for most of the sections,
