About Rescue Rush: Wildfire

Rescue Rush: Wildfire opens with a lightning strike and a fire, and everything after that is a race. Your job is to save as many animals as possible while the flames spread, which turns the map into a problem that changes shape while you are solving it. Trees burn and paths close, so a route you were counting on may not exist by the time you reach it. You carry water, which both extinguishes flames and gives you brief protection when you have to pass through somewhere you should not. The controls are simple enough to start immediately, and the pressure comes entirely from the fire growing more intense the longer a run goes on.

How to Play

Move with WASD, the arrow keys or a controller joystick. Use the hose button to spray water, which puts out fire and briefly shields you from flames. On mobile, the left joystick handles movement. Reach as many animals as you can before the wildfire takes the map.

Tips & Tricks

Spend water on opening a route rather than on saving yourself, since a path you clear early stays useful and a shield lasts moments. Go for animals the fire is heading toward first and leave the ones in safe corners for later. Watch which way the burn is spreading before committing to a direction — the map tells you where it will be closed next.
