Our Expert Score

92/100

Little Inferno is a rare gem—a game that is both a cozy fireplace simulator and a biting satire of consumerism. The premise is simple: you have a fireplace, and you burn things. From screaming logs to miniature nuclear devices, the physics and fire effects are mesmerizing. The 'HD' version on iPad looks particularly stunning, with every ember and spark rendered beautifully.

The real genius lies in the 'combos'—figuring out which items to burn together to unlock the next catalog. Beneath the simple act of burning things is a surprisingly touching and mysterious story told through letters from your neighbor. It’s a thoughtful, atmospheric experience that feels unlike anything else on the App Store. It's oddly therapeutic and deeply engaging.
