About this game

Developer description

Quoted from the Steam store page. Read the full description

Grab the sun. Burn the swarm. You are the magnifying glass. Bugs skitter across the screen. Point, hold, and cook. Track. Burn. Chain. Your beam heats whatever sits under it. Drift, and it cools. Hold steady, and things start to smoke. Bugs know what's happening. As they heat up, they panic — accelerating, jittering, breaking in every direction to escape the light. Catch one before it bolts and you ignite it. Ignite another before the combo bar empties and your multiplier climbs. Miss a beat and the chain snaps back to 1x. It's simple. It's mean. It gets very fast. Build a beam that breaks the game. Every ignition earns Sparks. Every round ends at the upgrade tree. Push raw power, a bigger lens, hotter beam, faster cooldown or bolt on new physics entirely. Make dying bugs explode, torching everything nearby. Split your heat ray toward the nearest survivor. Drag the beam to leave a burning trail across the field. Turn ignitions into spore clouds that choke the swarm and stop them cooling. Flash cyan-hot criticals that shatter bugs for bonus payouts and shake the screen loose.…
