Cerium Gleam

Cerium Gleam is a two-phase firecraft arcade. In the strike phase you swipe fast along the ferrocerium rod; swipe speed decides how many sparks burst out, and scraping along the rod makes them hotter. Land enough hot sparks in the tinder nest to wake a living ember. In the nurse phase you press and hold to blow air into the ember and release to let it breathe. Push the temperature gauge past the red ignition mark before the clock dies. Gusts roll in without mercy: when the wind banner flashes your breath barely helps, so time your rhythm. Every new camp brings wetter tinder, stronger crosswinds, higher ignition points and tighter clocks. Win fires to earn coins and unlock six real pieces of gear in the Trail Shop: a hotter alloy rod, char cloth, twin bellows, a wind guard ring, an ember charm and a sundial flare. All effects are real and saved between runs.
