  • Summary: Congratulations on your new Little Inferno Entertainment Fireplace! Throw your toys into your fire, and play with them as they burn. Stay warm in there. It's getting cold outside!

    Burn flaming logs, screaming robots, credit cards, batteries, exploding fish, unstable nuclear devices, and t    iny galaxies. An adventure that takes place almost entirely in front of a fireplace - about looking up up up out of the chimney, and the cold world just on the other side of the wall.… Expand

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

    You may get the sense that Little Inferno walks a fine line between satirizing our gaming habits and revelling in them. If you take it lightly, it works. Give it serious thought and you might find a bit of hypocrisy buried between the lines, but that doesn't change the fact that this is a game that sticks with you.

    Little Inferno was already a great game when it was released on PC and Wii U last November and it still is now that it has landed on App Store.

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

    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

    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.… Expand

    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
