Don't let the calming fire fool you in this chaotic Bullet Hell style game. Rise to the challenge as you reach new heights while collecting embers of your own kin. Release them all in a satisfying display of fireworks and rack up your score! Can you rise up and burn your mark on the leaderboard?

Storyline

Dance among embers - fly, dodge and pickup embers of varying colors as you fly up though the smoke of a blazing bonfire!

Never the same - the game is ever changing as everything gets generated on the beat. Behold the mesmerizing patterns they create!

Discover the embers - some embers are dying to meet you as they try to take your light for themselves.

Bursting - burst to release the stored embers in an explosion of colorful fireworks to rack up your score. Repel the embers around you and give yourself some time to breathe!

Multiply at own risk - burn brighter by keeping the kin within to grow your power but with great power comes great responsibility!

Everburning embers - gain a random powerup as you can shield yourself from harm or burst infinite to bring your score to new heights!

Leaderboards - burn your mark to secure your spot on the leaderboard, beware as the whole world will try to come for your crown!

Adaptive music - listen closely as the music adapts to what is happening on screen. If the drums kick in, you know you're in for the real deal!
