It's hard to understate the joy of burning everything in sight, especially to light-hearted music. This game satisfies the inner pyromaniac in all of us.\n\nIt would have been fun to have a boost mechanic of some form to rapidly spend energy to leap across obstacles or to spread fire all over an area.
