How it feels

A frantic and dangerous scramble upward through a burning tower, with comedic overtones and constant pressure from encroaching fire and enemies.

What players say

Players compare it to Downwell but with a twist: flames push you downward and you dash into enemies instead of stomping on them. Reviews split on the level design, some call it sparse and repetitive, others enjoy the challenge and power-ups. It is a short student project that is free.
