Our take on Tales of Fire
The match doubles as the ant’s weapon and the fire needed for the rescue, so keeping it alight becomes a constraint during traversal. That focused premise leaves less room for a broad combat toolkit or a longer campaign.
What is Tales of Fire?
Tales of Fire is a short, story-driven platform game about an ant trying to save her village from winter cold.
Move across dangerous terrain, using a match as a weapon while keeping it from going out. The journey includes platforming over mushrooms, escaping spiders, and meeting other ants. Carry the fire to the end of the adventure to help the village survive.
