First, I'm gonna say this...if you don't enjoy figuring out EVERY SINGLE THING...and I MEAN EVERY SINGLE THING...you will probably not think this game is a winner. I, on the other hand, spent 45 minutes playing this game and didn't even bother to finish the demo. HAD to have it.

We are cavemen. We have NO speech. Our guy has been thrown out =literally= of the village for letting the ONLY fire die ...Show more

First, I'm gonna say this...if you don't enjoy figuring out EVERY SINGLE THING...and I MEAN EVERY SINGLE THING...you will probably not think this game is a winner. I, on the other hand, spent 45 minutes playing this game and didn't even bother to finish the demo. HAD to have it.

We are cavemen. We have NO speech. Our guy has been thrown out =literally= of the village for letting the ONLY fire die out. We are on a quest for fire.

There are no words for any of the game settings. Again, NO SPEECH. To start, I suggest you click on the gears on the introductory page. This is where you'll adjust your settings. They are primitive. Sliding various animals across strings attached to bones will adjust sound effects, music volume etc. There is one that adjusts how quickly the cursor moves around...and you're gonna want to use it. That thing was as slippery as if it was sliding around on mammoth spit.

Go back to the main page, click on the arrow...and away we go! You'll watch a little story about how we get kicked out, and then the game is on.

Your cursor will turn orange when it crosses something you can interact with. It will turn blue, with a little eyeball at the bottom, when you need to look at something. If you need a clue for where you can do something, press the space bar, and little faces will pop up. These are your areas of interest.

It is good to get the faces to pop up because they will reveal golden coins, or "blunga", that we can collect. What for? Don't know. They're there. I picked them up. There is a banner that lets you know how many you've got. Cannot wait to find out why.

If you want to get back to the main menu, repeat a scene, or go to the map, use the mouse roller, and a banner will slide down with those choices.

If you do not like running back and forth and back and forth to see what has happened in a previous scene, from something you did in another scene...I don't think this is the game for you.

If you do not appreciate "cartoony", whimsical graphic art, it may not be your game.

IF, however, the thrill of discovery gives you immense satisfaction, from doing-it-on-your-own...you'll be up and dancing.

This, my friends, is as good as it gets for anyone who thinks that all of the above sounds like FUN. An off-the-wall, quirky sense of humor will also be a big plus.

Make no mistake. It will be DIFFICULT. Well, it is for me, anyway. Probably for many of us. BUT...the rewards are worth the effort...in my opinion.

This should give you a good start. I say try the demo. That will be the true test. If you need help, or more info, look to the forums. Find it at the top of this page, above the game video. Click on "get game tips".

Played on a PC, Windows 7 Home Premium, 64bit. NO issues. Crisp, clear, colorful graphics. No lagging or black screen.

THANK YOU, Devs and BFG. MORE like this, please. Just can't get enough.

Hope YOU find some fun today. Happy gaming.! Show less

I recommend this game!

For me it ticked absolutely every box of what a great puzzle game should look and sound like and I am a very difficult customer.
This game is totally targeted to "Expert" players enjoying that category and i am so pleased about that, at long last!
Well done to the developers and to BigFish for releasing it. Show less

This game is fun! There are no instructions. You have to figure it out. There is no dialogue, It is just a test of your wits.

And how funny it is!

I am done with boring, visualy pretty hidden object games.

Please more of these quirky games!

The story is there, but doesn't make the game, the puzzles do! This reminds me of those little Samorost games, which I loved! (There's Samorost 3 coming soon!) It looks easy, but it can be downright maddening.

The only thing that has me totally flummoxed is how you get out of the game when you want to quit for a while. I got out when the demo ended, but there has to be another way.

I'll use a coupon on this. Somehow, I think it will be kind of short, and there isn't a lot of replay value.

That said, it is the most fun I've had with a game in a while! Show less

I had to purchase this whimsical adventure game. I find it cute and challenging. This game does not spoon feed you every next step, you have to use your imagination, and trial and error. There are no hints, but the steps are logical once you figure them out.

I really enjoyed playing with Fire!
There's a lot of trial and error (with no penalty) which makes it fun to spend some time on. I like the "ah-hah" moments when you finally realize what the puzzle is asking you to do.
The music is catchy without being annoying. Graphics are clear & wonderfully cartoony.

I recommend this game!
