Hi all!
I've just pushed Update #2!
My goal with My Fire Is Bigger Than Yours was always to make a short, escalating experience built around finding multipliers, creating ridiculous chain reactions, and watching the numbers keep going up. Based on your feedback and watching people play, there were a few things getting in the way of that - especially in Phase 3.
Phase 3 has been reworked 🛠️
Phase 3 should now feel much more like its own phase. You have space to expand your setup as you progress, much like the earlier phases. No more spending the entire phase inside a gigantic fire and watching everything burn up... unless that's what you're into.
Phase 3 now starts from scratch, just like Phase 2. No more guessing which spawners will survive the transition. Don't worry, the Moon's got your back :)
Your available space expands as the phase progresses, giving you room to actually build setups and experiment with multipliers.
Already played Phase 3 or finished the game?
You can either reset your Phase 3 progress to experience the reworked version, or continue from where you were and work towards the remaining achievements. You'll get the option under Play → Continue.
More consistent giant fires🔥
The extreme RNG when your fire gets massive should now be gone.
There will still be some natural variation from spawn rates and physics, but your fire should no longer randomly swing between something like 2B and 20B for essentially the same setup.
New hint system 💡
Hint panels now introduce some of the game's less obvious mechanics and concepts.
New players will encounter these gradually as they progress.
Returning players may get a short queue of relevant hints when loading their save.
The biggest thing I want to make clearer is just how powerful stacking different multipliers can be.
Less grindy achievements 🏆
Together, these changes should make reaching the later achievements much less of a grind. The intended path isn't spending ages waiting for numbers to slowly move upwards, it's figuring out how to make those numbers explode.
If you find yourself stuck, experiment with stacking more multipliers!
That's always been the heart of the game, but the giant fire in the old Phase 3 made it much harder to actually play that way. Hopefully now everyone gets to experience the chaotic chain reactions and NUMBERS THAT KEEP GOING UP.
If you bounced off the game before, I hope you'll give it another shot. And if something still doesn't feel right, please let me know. I'm reading the feedback and using it to make the game better.
We've got a Sun to put in its place. ☀️x🔥
