Our take on Gunpowder
Its defining structure is the gunpowder trail: each puzzle asks for a carefully placed keg and a sequence of environmental reactions, turning mine carts, cannons, chandeliers, and other objects into parts of one explosive setup.
What is Gunpowder?
Play as Incendio in a Wild West puzzle game centered on gunpowder trails and chain reactions.
Each level uses objects such as mine carts, cannons, chandeliers, flaming wagons, and Gatling guns to create paths toward Boss Grimshaw’s piggy banks. Players can place powder kegs and arrange explosive sequences while racing the clock and competing with friends. The game contains 150 levels across 5 chapters, plus a bonus Lost Levels chapter. Its story unfolds through animated cartoon scenes, and its click-and-drag controls support puzzles that become more challenging as new arrangements and obstacles appear.
