About the Game

Did you know that 9 out 10 wildfires are caused by human activities? FireStarter 2 gives you the opportunity to start--virtually--one of them.

The idea of FireStarter 2 is to make players aware of the impact of forest fires on their environment.

While you can just watch the forest grow naturally through the years, you can also get involved in destructive or helpful ways.

  • Start a fire and see how it spreads and destroys your forest, only to watch it slowly reborn from the ashes.
  • Create clouds to decide where the rain should fall, but watch for thunderstorms when it's getting hot around.
  • Control rain to fight fire, or just to turn your dry plants green again.
  • Play with wind to control fire spread direction and clouds movement.
