Fire is a force of nature, and the best fire levels in games are made to reflect that. But fire can be so many things - a destructive element, a tool, a source of light and warmth, or something more abstract and poetic. Game designers get to pick and choose the aspects of fire they want to highlight to best fit their game. Fire might be the most flexible level theme. Let's talk about how you can forge a fire level.
