About Wildfire Swap
Swap tiles, fight fires!
Forest fires are popping up everywhere, and it’s up to you to stop them. Save houses by swapping tiles to redirect and contain fires in over 120 thoughtfully designed levels. Consider your moves carefully: fire spreads fast, and an out-of-control fire is unstoppable.
- Explore 120+ handcrafted levels.
- Discover deep interactions within apparently simple mechanics.
- Journey through different environments providing new challenges and strategies.
- Challenge yourself with B-side worlds full of new mechanics and harder puzzles.
Our Inspiration
Wildfire Swap is a game about exploring the efforts to control those massive fires. It explores how a small spark can quickly turn into a raging inferno and how easily forces of nature can spiral out of our control.
You take on the role of a wildland fire fighter. Your goal is to create firebreaks between out of control fires and people’s homes by solving tile swapping puzzles. Like wildfires in the real world, you’re at the mercy of the flames. You cannot extinguish them — you must do your best to contain them.
Every time you make a move to contain the fire, it spreads more out of control. Through well-planned and calculated movements you can prevent the flames from burning down homes. Each level challenges you to understand more deeply how fires spread so that you can adapt your fire prevention strategies.
We hope that people have fun playing Wildfire Swap. And we hope that as they overcome the puzzles in this game, they get some sense of the enormous amount of planning and hard work fire fighting teams put in to contain these fires.

✦ AI summary
Wildfire Swap is a well-designed minimalist puzzle game with clever mechanics and challenging levels that most players find engaging and polished. Players praise the satisfying gameplay, responsive controls, instant undo function, and charming presentation, though some note puzzle quality dips toward the end and would like cloud save support and achievements added. A significant accessibility concern is raised regarding lack of visual impairment options and low contrast, which prevented at least one player from enjoying the game.
Review for people with visual impairment. - No accessibility options - Very low contrast - Most of the screen is well not used, I am all for minimalistic look but this looks like it belongs on the mobile phone. Can't really say much about the game, seams like a solid puzzler. I refunded the game because there are no accessibility options.3 found this helpful
https://youtu.be/A_coTXQaLy0 Wildfire Swap is a simple minimalist tiled based puzzler, in which you need to keep the fires away from your houses. Overall it is a simple concept and is a they a few new mechanics in each new area, overall the game seems simple but some of those levels are tough to get through. Overall if you love puzzle games, I would pick it up at full price, if your like me and your ok at them, then I think you can wait until its on sale and still have a blast!2 found this helpful
Great challenging game, though puzzle quality perhaps decreases towards the end Didn't appreciate being greeted with a broken discord link on victory :D remove that nonsense
A delicious little nugget, a gem in satchel. Lovely puzzles, great juice, good fire.
loved it. very simple but tough puzzle game. levels never get too big but theyre still way very tough. UI is great, everything is very agile and smooth, theres an undo button that works instantly so nothing ever feels clunky. theres bonus worlds, bonus levels, etc making a review just to give it more exposure. only thing it lacks is cloud save support (and achievs xd)
Been awhile since I played, but I remembered I wanted to give this one a review! Really clever puzzle mechanic concept with the spread of fire! I think I remember almost missing some of the extra missions (or B side maybe?) I forget. Very cute graphics as well - would highly recommend!
