I can't get over this game.

Fireworks Mania - An Explosive Simulator on Steam

FIREWORKS MANIA is a small casual explosive simulator game where you play around with fireworks, create beautiful firework shows or just blow stuff up.

It is just an open sandbox, with tons of fireworks available immediately. You can set however many you want and then light them up.

The results are spectacular.



Apparently there's a mega firework hidden in both levels, gotta find it. But yeah...it's hard to even talk about this game, because it is very much what it is. And few games are like that anymore.

Oooh, I did an interview with the creator of Fireworks Mania not too long ago, he wanted to make the game because nobody else had.

While I appreciate it's one guy making the game and the extra work required to make a VR version (and do it justice) probably isn't feasible right now, I want to see a mind blowing fireworks display in VR.

Regardless, bought. This looks so awesome.

To be fair as he was laying down all these fireworks I was thinking "if the FPS doesn't go to shit the moment they start going off, this guy is a freaking wizard".

Frankly any indie dev that has any other reason to make a game other than "nobody else has" really has to sit down and think things through.

World's prime benchmark for CPUs.

Epileptic seizures also included.

It does look very nice though.

Here ya go!

AMD Ryzen™ 9 3950X 16-Core - 4.7GHz Max Boost
G.Skill TridentZ RGB 64GB (4x16GB) - 3200MHz
NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2070 SUPER™ - 8GB
That's a really good rig.

I guess I'm trying to gauge whether that would happen with mine. And for the love of Pete this isn't some e-peen things but here's my specs -

Looks really good. Could see it being a good diversion.

Who doesn't want to dump a whole bunch of propane tanks on top of loads of rockets. Played with kid, and was hilariously fun. Those little squeaker fireworks and flamingos add hilarity

Yeah, i've been playing this "game" for a few hours and it's really well made, the sound effects are also very satisfying. I hope the dev adds more variety and more destructible environments in future updates.

tempted and Chubi's video really sells it, but can't help thinking it'd be used very rarely - to do exactly that.

I think VR would tip me over the edge

The only fireworks creation that I enjoyed before was in Rollercoaster Tycoon 3.
It's pretty advanced too with timeline, variation and when to activate in certain time.

This one seems more focus on that alone.
