Dynamite in Hangillion

What it is

He is tied up in a bunker with dynamite strapped to his chest. A fuse crawls toward it, one stretch for every wrong letter. When it arrives there is no animation to speak of, only a bang and a lot of red on the walls.

Everything is drawn in pixels, in black, gray, white and two reds, and it is a cartoon: no real people, no real places. It runs in your browser, with no download.

How it plays out, one wrong letter at a time

1. 1. The fuse is lit far across the floor.
2. 2. The spark crosses the first stretch.
3. 3. Smoke trails behind it.
4. 4. It rounds the corner.
5. 5. It starts to climb the wall to him.
6. 6 (the last life). It reaches the dynamite.

Guess the word before the last step and he lives. The scene eases back and he smiles.
