Melt the Bully with fire from your fingertip

Finger Fire is a free Android game with one move: fire from your fingertip. Tap, swipe or hold to hit the Frost Bully, a smug cartoon ice brute, and he cracks, drips, steams and melts into a sulky puddle. No ads, no purchases, no account, and it plays offline.

Free on Google Play. Android 8.0 or later.

Level 1 in the Snowy Arena: a fire fist hits the Frost Bully, a cartoon ice snowman in a striped beanie and scarf, with the comic word CRACK.

The melt

Every hit shows

Cracks start where you hit him. Chips break off and drip away, he glows, steams and shrinks, then sags into a puddle with his beanie floating on top. Keep hitting an ice forearm or shin, or hold heat on it, and it cracks off as a chunk of ice, melts away and freezes back a few seconds later.

Break-offs change how he looks and wobbles, not how fast he melts.

Level 21 in the Ice Gym: fire fists hit the Frost Bully under an Ice Helmet, and a cracked-off ice forearm lies on the floor, with the comic word CRACK! — Level 21: an ice forearm cracks off.

Controllers

Eight fire controllers

Each controller has its own gesture, and you unlock them by clearing levels: Fire Punch (tap), Flamethrower (hold), Fireball Flick (swipe), Fire Slap (fast sideways swipe), Firework (tap; it launches from below), Lava Ball (pull back and release), Fire Tornado (draw a loop) and Meteor (hold to aim, lift to drop). Up to five fingers fire at once.

Hold the Flamethrower with three fingers and you get three flame streams. Controllers and the level each one unlocks on.

Level 10 on the Frozen Rooftop: five flame streams from five fingers hit the Frost Bully, who wears earmuffs, with the comic word FSSST. — Five fingers, five Flamethrower streams.

Defences

Fire beats ice

Some levels give him one defence: Ice Helmet, Snow Armour, Ice Shield, Dodger, Snowdrift, Blizzard, Snow Globe, Ice Umbrella or Refreeze. All but Refreeze have a right controller that clears them fastest, and the game points you to it. A wrong one still gets there. On Refreeze his ice grows back if you stop, so keep the heat on.

No lives
No fail screen
No losing

Level 35 at the Frozen Fair: fire fists hit the Ice Robot, a cartoon machine made of ice, under an Ice Umbrella; both ice shin plates lie on the stage and a hint chip points from the umbrella to the Firework. — Ice Umbrella: the hint chip points to the Firework.

Levels

40 levels, five scenes, three targets

Snowy Arena, Frozen Rooftop, Ice Gym, Glacier Peak and Frozen Fair hold eight levels each, and each scene opens when you clear the one before. Levels 24, 32 and 40 are boss fights with two defences in a row. The Yeti is the target on Glacier Peak, and the Ice Robot at the Frozen Fair.

The Yeti's fur knocks off to show the ice underneath. The Ice Robot is a cartoon machine made of ice: his ice panels pop off and his antenna droops as he loses his Chill. Most levels take well under a minute; the three boss levels take about a minute or more.

Level 31 on Glacier Peak: the Yeti, a cartoon snow creature under an ice arch, with patches of fur knocked off to show his ice core and the comic word WHAM. — The Yeti on Glacier Peak.

Rewards

Coins, stars and a slow-motion replay

Every clear pays coins, and a faster melt earns up to three stars: stars measure how fast he melted. Coins buy four upgrade steps for each controller and outfits for the Frost Bully; outfits are just for looks. Each clear also shows the final melt again in slow motion, and Share turns it into a short video.

Clear card for level 1 with a slow-motion replay of the melt, three stars, a time of 32 seconds, 160 coins and Share, Next and Freezer buttons. — The clear card and its melt replay.

Collection

Fill your Freezer

Each level you melt adds a tile to your Freezer, and so does each day's first daily melt. Milestones at 5, 10, 16, 24, 32 and 40 level tiles pay coins or an outfit, and you can see each reward before you reach it. Every tile keeps the controller that finished him and the stars you earned.

The Freezer scrolled to the Frozen Fair row: eight puddle tiles for levels 33 to 40, each with its controller icon and stars, an empty daily row, and milestones from 5 to 40 tiles, all claimed. — The Frozen Fair row and every milestone claimed.

Free Play

Free Play and Zen

Free Play gives endless Chill and every controller you've unlocked, and records nothing. Clear level 25 to add the Yeti to its target picker, and level 33 for the Ice Robot. Its Zen toggle gives slow, quiet melting: no pop words, combo or Chill meter, softer sound and haptics, and after a full melt he rests as a puddle, then freezes back.

Free Play with the Zen toggle on, slow and quiet melting, a held flame on the Frost Bully and Reset and Melt buttons. — Free Play with Zen on.

Every day

Daily target and gift

A new daily target every day, with its own scene, some days a defence, and a bonus for the first melt. Some days it is the Yeti or the Ice Robot, once you have unlocked him. A free daily gift follows a fixed sequence you can see before you open it. No streaks to lose, no timers, no notifications.

Privacy

Finger Fire has no ads, no in-app purchases and no account, and no internet permission, so the game can't send anything itself.
