Mobile games are all about puzzles. Most of the popular mobile games available today are all puzzle-based: Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, etc. Today, I’ve come across another puzzle game that needs more exposure. Burn it All, is a very interesting and fun game but, it hasn’t received the attention it deserves. It currently has only 100-500 downloads on the Google Play store [seriously?]; this game deserves lot more than that. Read on to find out how this game stacks up against other popular games out there.

Burn It All is a game where your objective is to, errr…burn everything down to the ground. The game starts with 3 flames that want to leave their Volcano home and go up to their Papa, The Sun. You have to help these poor little flames overcome different obstacles. The gameplay is very simple; you have to burn the ropes by lighting up their tips with the flames. Drag the flame to the tip of the rope and voila! It burns! There are 3 different flames, Red flame [it can only burn ropes by touching their tips], Blue flames [it can burn ropes (starting from the middle or tip) as well as wood] and lastly, my favorite flame, the Green flame which literally burns everything that comes in its way.

There are total of 100 levels filled with different obstacles like rocks, gases, water drops and bats. You have to figure out a way to burn everything in the given amount of time and make sure that you collect the maximum number of diamonds on each level. There are plenty of new worlds available in the game but to unlock them, you need to collect a certain number of diamonds in the previous level. The game also features unlockable achievements and stats that will show you how much ropes have you burnt and the amount of time you have played.

GRAPHICS

There aren’t enough words to describe the graphics of this game. It’s simply, awesome! It’s rendered in a cute cartoonish-style like many of the top android games; it looks so beautiful and cute. The sparks are brilliantly done and the environment looks amazing; wooden structures and ropes have splendid visuals while burning. I have zero complaints about the graphics of this game; it looks as good as it possibly can.

SOUND

This game possesses great tunes. The background music is catchy and adds to the overall gameplay. Sound effects are also professionally done; sparks have cute sounds and the burning effects are also enjoyable. The overall sounds of the game are amazing and enhance your gameplay experience.

CONTROLS

The controls of this game left me a little [tiny bit!] disappointed. Even though the controls are simple and all you have to do is tap the flame and drag it to the target, the problem here is that these controls are a little less-responsive. Sometimes, your spark will get stuck and you’ll have to drag it a second time–that is my only problem with the controls.

VERDICT

All in all, Burn It All from the developers of Pix’n Love Rush is a cute looking, fun, unique puzzle game with brilliant graphics and nice music to keep you entertained for hours. The game could use more levels though as 100 levels go by quickly [the developers have promised to release more levels soon!]. If you want to burn some stuff and let off some steam, then this is a must buy.
