About Nuclear Blaze


The world is burning.

Well, not exactly, but the whole region is.

As a trained firefighter, you're being air-dropped right in the middle of this hell blaze to investigate and look for survivors. But the unexpected presence of an unknown military facility might somewhat affect your plans.
  • A unique 2D firefighting game with all the devastating backdrafts, exploding walls and sprinklers you could expect.
  • Smooth "signature" controls and gameplay from the guy who was in charge on Dead Cells.
  • An action/adventure game crafted with love and attention to details.
  • Use your fire hose carefully to keep the blaze under control and progress through the facility.
  • Dedicated "Kid mode" designed for very young kids (~3 years old and more), with specific level design, rules and gameplay... while still featuring firefighters, helicopters and trucks!
  • Not a roguelite/like/vania this time!
  • Unravel the true story of Site 16 and A-█████. Access to these informations may require authorization clearance ████ and ██.

Following the path of Celeste, Nuclear Blaze also offers some fine-tuning of difficulty by allowing players to adjust some rules to their needs. There's no Easy or Hard mode, but you can consider the default settings as being quite difficult.

Making your gamer life easier is fine, it's about having fun, so feel free to adjust your in-game settings.


Nuclear Blaze first started as a game jam entry for Ludum Dare. It was created in 48h and received lots of positive feedback and support from everyone :)
My first intention was to create a game my 3yrs old boy could play, as he is a big fan of firefighters. Obviously, the game became more and more complex and quickly turned out to be too difficult for him: I then decided to add a specific "Kid mode".

The Kid Mode is a special mode in the game, designed with young players in mind, featuring specific rules:
  • Specific levels meant to be easy to explore,
  • You can't die,
  • Water is infinite,
  • Water is auto-aimed,
  • Controls are simplified.
  • Helicopters and trucks everywhere, because kids love them.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Nuclear Blaze is praised for its unique firefighting platformer concept, beautiful art style, engaging atmosphere, and polished gameplay that works well as a 2D platforming experience with an intriguing mystery story. The main complaint across reviews is that the game feels too short for its asking price, though players note it becomes more reasonably priced on sale, and there's a suggestion for adding Arabic language support.

Recommended Sep 8, 2026
Very nice game, There are problems there for example with the whole issue of death, the save locations, event save and event triggers (if you die and you return to an area where there is an event - a ceiling collapse for example, it will happen again). And all the things you did before you died will also be deleted, (if you find a secret you have to do it again. If you open a door you have to open it again and so on.) I will note that in addition to this in the game mode + (hold the beer for me) it is sometimes recommended to change the speed at which the fire spreads (the fire can spread so quickly that in less than a minute everything that was extinguished will be rekindled - it takes a few seconds to spread to several slots at the same time.)

There are zero games out there like this, period. It has near perfect game feel as well, it is 100% worth your time. 10/10
Recommended Aug 15, 2026
It was a pleasure to play even if I kept getting my biscuits burnt. A small demerit for the occasional frustration when the restrictive shooting angle combined with the level layout would make it difficult to extinguish the flames tucked high and in a corner.
Recommended Aug 12, 2026
A short, fun, and sometimes challenging platformer. Visuals are great and the audio is excellent. If you want a short romp with a great soundtrack, this is for you.
Recommended Aug 10, 2026
It's a firefighting puzzle-platformer, and that combination works out better than I expected: the way fire spreads and undoes your work if left alone forces you to both act quickly and plan your route intelligently, even more so on hard mode. The short lenght (about 2 hours) is fitting for the amount of mechanics the game has to offer, but the full price is a bit steep: wait for a sale.
