About the Game

Light the Fire is a survival-driven tower defense where you control when the battle begins… and how difficult it will be.

Explore, gather resources, unlock new recipes, craft gear, build your base and defenses, and ignite the fire when you're ready.

But be careful, the more wood you feed the fire, the stronger the waves become.

How long can you survive?
