Developed and published by IndigoWare, this casual arcade experience tasks you with a critical mission: saving lives from burning buildings. It’s a test of reflexes and quick thinking as you manage rescues from two structures simultaneously.

Highlights

  • Core Gameplay: Players control Orlando, who is continuously raised by a ladder between two buildings. The objective is to click anywhere on the screen to switch Orlando's focus between the two structures, aiming for windows with victims while avoiding those engulfed in flames.
