Chill the Piro

An entertaining, short & cheap mobile puzzle game. You have to put out fires before they spread, opening the path for dwellers to escape the building under a time pressure. In the "catch the Pyro" stage, you have to quench the fires while chasing a bad guy. The Linux port was fine, except that it was not unlocking achievements for me. I played it via Proton and the achievements worked. The achievements are little bit messy, btw, since it is not clear what you must do and there are no guides. Some of the achievements have been acquired only by 6 people (well, now 7 with yours truly) and the 3 of them who replied couldn't tell me how they got it [spoiler]Geralt: hmmmm[/spoiler] The developer helped me, though and here are some explanations if you need: https://steamcommunity.com/app/437180/discussions/0/343788552544564007/

About as fun as a proctology exam. Zero explanation of controls or items. Waste of money. Avoid.

In this game you have to extinguish fires, rescue people and catch a Pyromancer. Mainly it's a puzzle game, but you can calmly think about your actions only at the beginning of the level. You must make the decisions quickly in the process of passing the level. You task to find the correct sequence of actions (where to move at first, what fires to extinguish and what people to save primarily and such other things). Some levels seem impassable and it is not always clear what needs to be done. But if you think well at first and start to build a plan of your actions, then pass the levels becomes easier and more interesting.

Chill the Piro is a compact 2D action-puzzle title developed by Sergey Marchenko and Vyacheslav Ozolnieks and published by Sergey Marchenko that blends arcade reflexes with methodical level-solving. Framed around the simple but engaging premise of battling a citywide outbreak of fires caused by a rogue pyromancer, the game places players in the boots of a determined firefighter tasked not only with extinguishing flames but also with saving civilians and ultimately confronting the source of the chaos. While modest in scope, it builds its identity around structured level design and escalating problem-solving challenges. The narrative setup provides light motivation without overwhelming the gameplay. After a tragic incident involving a chemical factory blaze, fires begin erupting across the city under suspicious circumstances. The protagonist becomes the last line of defense, chasing the elusive “Piro” responsible for the destruction. Though the storytelling remains minimal and delivered primarily through premise rather than dialogue-heavy sequences, it adds context to the missions and frames each level as part of a larger pursuit rather than a collection of disconnected puzzles.
