🎯 OBJECTIVE

Set as many fires as possible before getting caught! Light dumpsters, porta-potties, couches, and park benches on fire. Avoid the fire truck 🚒 and the police 👮. Each fire = points. Getting caught = court scene!

🌡️ HEAT SYSTEM

Your HEAT LEVEL increases when you set fires and run. High heat attracts police attention! At 80% heat, police will actively chase you. Let it cool down by walking slowly and staying out of trouble.

⚖️ GETTING CAUGHT

If the police catch you, a dramatic courtroom visual novel sequence plays out. Your attorney will try to save your bacon. Results may vary wildly. Good luck, genius.

🔥 PRO TIPS

  • Each tool has different power, heat generation, and point values
  • Gasoline Can = highest points but raises heat FAST
  • Fires can spread to nearby targets — chain reactions = bonus points!
  • Running draws attention — walk casually like a normal person
  • Fire trucks will extinguish fires — work fast!
  • 50 targets on the map — hit them all for LEGENDARY status
  • Click on item slots 1-4 at bottom to quickly switch tools
