-= PYRO : World Espionage =-

OVERVIEW

An in-progress game based on the old DOS game Pyro II (itself based on an older game named Firebug).

Infiltrate various sites to recover or destroy top secret files, then burn the evidence as you make your escape. How far can you go?

INSTRUCTIONS

Shortly after entering a floor, your Fuse will ignite - use it to burn as much as you can before making your way down the exit stairs.

  • Use Gas Canisters to spread gasoline, or leave them behind to cause explosions
  • Only some walls burn, others cannot be burnt, though they can be exploded
  • The staircase can only be entered from the right side, regardless whether the walls around it are burned down.
  • Your Fuse will burn slower the more fire currently in the level - use this to your advantage to give yourself extra room to maneuver.
  • The starting delay for your Fuse igniting is determined by your Fuse length at the end of the previous level.
  • Touch any fire and you'll instantly Mission Fail.

CONTROLS

  • O - Hold to pick up a Gas Canister when walking over it.
    NOTE: After you have exited the floor or died, you can hold O to speed up time.

  • X - Drop Gas Canister. If moving, you will spill out the gasoline, causing it to spread wildly. If standing still, you will randomly place the Canister on your tile. If fire touches a Canister, it will explode.

SCORING

  • Explode a Gas Canister - 100
  • Spill a Gas Canister - 50
  • Recover a File - 500
  • Burn a File - 100
  • Burn a wall - 10/tile
  • Burn all walls - 5000

FILES

Files are picked up by walking over them. They can also be burned.

There are three types of files:

  • Confidential (Grey) - Can be left behind with no negative effect.
  • Secret (Orange) - Mission Fail if you don't recover or burn before leaving the floor.
  • Top Secret (Yellow) - Mission Fail if you don't recover before leaving the floor.

SAFES

Some documents may be locked in a safe. A Gas Canister explosion is the only way to open them.

LOCKED DOORS

Some floors may have the exit staircase blocked by a locked door. Find the door's control button and touch it to open the door.

Thanks! I loved Bun Bun Samurai (was playing it 2 days ago with my kids!) so I'll certainly be looking into this :) Looks great from what I saw on Reddit.


@pjft Aw that's great, thanks so much! This one's a very different game for sure but I'm enjoying playing it while making it, which is always a good sign! :D
