How to play

Goal: Guide Ember (a little flame) and Dew (a water drop) to their own doors. The level ends when both are standing at theirs.

Step by step

  1. Ember (fire) walks through lava just fine; Dew (water) walks through water.
  2. The opposite liquid is deadly: if Ember touches water or Dew touches lava, the level restarts. Green poison gets them both.
  3. Stand on a colored button to run the door or lift of the same color; step off and it goes back.
  4. Levers flip open or shut with every touch. Push boxes onto buttons or use them as steps.
  5. 8 levels go from easy to hard; beat one to unlock the next.

Rules

  • 3 stars per level: clear it, collect every gem, and finish under the time limit.
  • Only Ember can grab red gems, only Dew can grab blue ones.
  • You can jump up through dashed ledges from below and land on top.
  • Platforms never crush anyone: they wait if someone is in the way.
  • The clock starts on your first move. Stars and best times are saved on this device.

Controls

  • Touch: Left/right at the bottom left, jump at the bottom right. You control one character at a time; the face button or tapping a character switches. Turn your phone sideways for a bigger view.
  • Keyboard: Ember: arrow keys (up jumps). Dew: W A D. You can move both at once. R restarts, Esc opens levels.

Tips

  • Park one on a button while the other moves: no level needs both running at once.
  • Tap jump quickly for a short hop.
