Set the trap. Start the chain. Survive the blast.

A trap is only as good as your escape route. Place your mines, lure the robots in and set off a chain reaction—without getting caught in it.

The free solo demo focuses on one campaign level: two simultaneous mines, one active reusable lure, and access to options. The full game is planned for December 18, 2026.

About This Game

The robots are closing in. Make that your advantage.

One mine. A well-placed lure. A corridor full of robots. In Chain Detonator, you do not shoot your way out: you build the perfect trap, trigger it at the right moment and escape the chain reaction you just created.

Plan. Lure. Detonate.

  • Set your trap. Place mines and use the arena layout to shape the blast.
  • Bring the robots to you. Drop a sound lure, dodge the pursuit and wait for your opening.
  • Start the chain—and get clear. Turn enemies and explosive scenery into a cascade. Your own blast can end your run.

A small mistake. A very big explosion.

Thread through industrial hazards, adapt to different robot types and take on bosses. Chase a better combo, rethink a failed plan and discover how much one well-timed detonation can change.

Your next “one more round”

  • Solo: 50 campaign levels, Survival, Daily Run and Challenges.
  • On one PC: local arena or arena co-op for 2–4 players, with shared-screen or split-screen display. Co-op is separate from the solo campaign.
  • Network arenas: player-hosted LAN/Internet matches, with room capacity up to 16. Internet play requires a reachable host; a dedicated hosting service is not included in the current build.
  • Play your way: keyboard and controller support, remappable controls and adjustable effects.

Two mines. One lure. Your first chain reaction.

The free solo demo contains the first campaign level, two simultaneous mines, one active lure reusable after its cooldown, and access to options. Other modes and multiplayer belong to the full game.

Full game release planned: December 18, 2026.
