How it feels

A turn-based tile puzzle where you carefully plan moves to redirect and contain spreading fires, creating a tense but methodical strategic feel.

What players say

Players say the simple fire-spreading rules lead to surprisingly tough puzzles, especially in the optional B-side levels. The minimalist style lacks accessibility options like contrast adjustments, and there is no cloud save support.
