"When you began demolishing the skyscraper, you discovered that there were many workers left in the building! However, there is no time, so you must rescue them while the building is being demolished." You must ignite the blocks by touching them. The fire on the block will instantly spread out and burn the blocks around it. Then, the blocks and survivors above will fall into the empty spaces. Your mission is to use this rule to your advantage in order to bring the survivors to the ground floor. You can also use bombs to blow up walls, or use other special items to your advantage. Saving more than one survivor in succession will earn you extra combo points. This game is fairly simple, and so it can be played casually, however, it also requires you to use your brain and will give you a sense of accomplishment. See the screen-shots for more detailed rules. [ More Feature ] - Even though the rules are simple and just require tapping with one finger, the strategy is very deep. - It is highly addictive, and you’ll lose track of time. - The game marks a clear departure from the other simple Match 3 Games. - The music is so spectacular that it will liven up the mood no matter what. - The rules are simple and you get used to them immediately, so the game can be enjoyed even by people who do not normally play games. - Plus, the game includes high-difficulty stages and is designed to offer a challenge to advanced players and users who like puzzle games too. ###===----- How to Play -----===### After starting to demolish the building we realized that countless workers were still stuck inside! There’s no time to go back, so we must try to rescue all the survivors, while the demolition continues... Workers can only escape if you can get them to the bottom floor unharmed. Rescue as many survivors as possible and reach the required score to move on to the next stage. -------------------------------- Tap the different blocks and help free the survivors.

[Bomb ] An entire horizontal row explodes. [Fire power 1 item] Reduces your fire power to 1, for one tap only. [Fire power 2 item] Reduces your fire power to 2, for one tap only. ・ Tap a Wooden Block to set it on fire (flames spread to surrounding blocks). During normal fire power 3, if there are no obstacles, flames spread as shown here. ・ Metal Blocks stop the flames from spreading any further. ・ If there is a bomb within the area the flames reach, then it will explode. ・ If there is a survivor within the area the flames reach, then they will burn to death and it will be Game Over. ・ Burned blocks disappear and new blocks fall from above and take their place. ・ During Fire Power 2, fire spreads as shown below on the left. ・ During Fire Power 1, only the single block you tap will set on fire. ・ Tap a bomb and an entire horizontal row explodes. ・ Survivors, items and other bombs will also be destroyed. ・ Metal Blocks stop flames and explosions from spreading any further. ・ If a survivor gets burned then it is Game Over. -------------------------------- - Metal Block Chains - Metal blocks cannot be destroyed, but horizontal or vertical chains of 3 or more will disappear. Create a row or column of 4 or more metal blocks and an item will appear in its place. [3 Blocks] Metal blocks disappear [4 Blocks] A fire power 2 item appears [5 Blocks] A fire power 1 item appears [6+ ] Create a row or column of 6 or more metal blocks and even more items will appear. Tap an item and your fire power will be reduced for one tap only. Use items to tap and burn blocks in areas that you couldn’t burn before, because the flames would have engulfed the survivors.
