Game description: Catch 'em. Detonate 'em. Watch an explosive display of brilliant pyrotechnics that you control. Sound pretty simple. But once you get the hang of it, it gets faster, tougher and more fantastic than you could ever imagine!
Fireworks or flares are launched onto the screen, where they hover for a period of time before disappearing. The player controls the direction of a "guideline" ray extending from the circular cursor which allows a flare along the ray to be "captured". The goal is to string together three or more flares of the same color, and then detonate the flares. More points can be scored by creating a chain reaction, by causing new flares to touch the sparks of detonated flares of the same color, and by creating a daisy chain, which allows flares of multiple colors to be detonated at the same time.
