Cold… warmer… YOU'RE ON FIRE! Getting Warmer is a hot-and-cold puzzle game where a flame is hidden somewhere on the board. Tap a square and it tells you how close you are, from Freezing to Burning Up. Follow the hints to work out where the flame is. Plays offline. No ads, account, notifications, or trackers. Daily Flame One new puzzle every day, the same for everyone. The hints come in a set order and you get seven moves to spend between hints and guesses. Guess the flame the moment the hints narrow it to one square and you've Pinpointed it. Classic Find the flame before you run out of taps. Only one hint stays on the board at a time, so you'll have to remember where you've been. Zen No tap limit. Every hint stays on the board. Choose your board size. Endurance Find as many flames as you can in one run. Each find grows the board, up to 9×9, and earns a few taps back. As in Classic, only one hint stays on the board. The free version includes the Daily Flame, Classic, the 5×5 Zen board, and one trial run of Endurance. A small one-time purchase unlocks the 7x7 and 9x9 Zen boards and unlimited Endurance runs.
