About Nuclear Blaze (48h)

Nuclear Blaze is a firefighting platformer by Sébastien Bénard (deepnight), the designer of Dead Cells, made in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 48 on the theme "Deeper and deeper". A building is on fire, and you go down into it with nothing but a water hose.

The fire spreads through rooms and corridors, so you have to aim the water jet well and keep moving deeper. The game placed fifth for graphics in the Ludum Dare 48 compo, and it later grew into a full commercial game. This is the original jam version, which has no sound.

How to play
