Fireworlds is an original homebrew puzzle/platform adventure game for the NDS. It has a puzzle feel to it: carry around stuff, activate switches, push boxes. There is also a great part of action: jumping, running, avoiding the water.
It was participated in the Homebrew Bounty 2011.
Features
- Collisions and physical well-implemented.

User guide
Play as a ball of energy and collect glowing orbs that are scattered around the stage. By getting the glowing orbs, a portal would be opened that would move on to the next level.
