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
- Ember (fire) walks through lava just fine; Dew (water) walks through water.
- The opposite liquid is deadly: if Ember touches water or Dew touches lava, the level restarts. Green poison gets them both.
- Stand on a colored button to run the door or lift of the same color; step off and it goes back.
- Levers flip open or shut with every touch. Push boxes onto buttons or use them as steps.
- 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.
