    This is not a game. It's a toy that's fun at first (Set anything you want on fire) but the actually gameplay consists of solving really easy but stupid word puzzles such as Japan Combo (burn sushi and ninja) at the same time. It feels like they just came up with the actual gameplay that causes story progression at the last minute. The story feels like it's tacked on so we can ignore the abysmal gameplay. Wanna burn random things in a fireplace with a terrible metagame and a pretentious story tacked on? Spend $4.99 on this.… Expand

    A really impressive allegorical game about games (obviously freemium/social click whittlers). The meaning it creates through your interaction, and ongoing narrative is amusing, poetic and quite personal. The most polished and perfect experience you will play on your ipad.

    This curious, special little game hit a note of emotional resonance with me that I can't really explain. Maybe this created a strong opinion bias in me, but I simply loved it. It's deep, ironic and sarcastic without being cynical or jaded, runs smoothly on my iPad 3 and accomplishes so much with so little in terms of mechanics and gameplay. It made me cry, and made me acutely aware of my own sadness and loneliness, but not in a bad way, much to the contrary. A beautiful, melancholic and superbly crafted experience.… Expand

    Little Inferno shines softly with originality and cuteness but never moves beyond this. As a more luxurious variation of Doodle God ($ 0,99), the game falls short and is not worth the hefty price tag. With all the tapping at coins and waiting, I can’t help but wonder: could Little Inferno have turned out better as a freemium game?

    Dark, weird, and very different, Little Inferno is great for those looking for something different.

    While the allure of setting fires cools off before long, the engaging style, story, and puzzle elements make for an enticing experience.
