Scorching Earth is all about planning ahead – you start with one burning patch of land, and you have to spread the fire outwards to consume the whole level. I could spend a while explaining how it all works, but honestly, it’s best discovered yourself by diving right in. This is the sorta puzzle game I love – the kind where you have to sit back and think things through, as opposed to making twitch reactions to random blocks.
I’m only six levels in, but first impressions are very positive! There’s no tedious tutorial levels or handholding – it’s hard enough to cut your teeth on right from level one (in fact, it actually gets easier for a while after the first level). All puzzle games should be like this!
