Inferno Meltdown

Inferno Meltdown is a fiery action-platformer Flash game where you play as a heroic robotic firefighter, dashing into dangerous burning buildings to extinguish flames, save civilians, and earn coins to upgrade your gear. Released in 2010 by The Podge and published by Armor Games, the game mixes fast-paced fire-fighting chaos with clever environmental interactions like sprinklers, exploding barrels, and air-duct fans. Each level becomes a race against time as the flames spread dynamically!

How to play Inferno Meltdown

Game Objective

Your mission in each level is to put out all the fires before they consume the entire building. You’ll have to manage your water supply, avoid explosions, and rescue trapped civilians, all while moving fast through destructible environments. The quicker and more thoroughly you extinguish fires, the more coins you earn for upgrades.

Controls

• WASD or Arrow Keys – Move your Firebot
• Mouse – Aim the water hose
• Left Mouse Button – Spray water
• Spacebar – Drop a sprinkler (uses your water supply strategically)

Watch your water gauge! Refill at water tanks when necessary.

Game Features

• Destructible environments: Fire burns through wood and spreads unpredictably.
• Explosives: Oil barrels and gas tanks can cause chain reactions—spray them first!
• Rescue missions: Save civilians before they’re overwhelmed by flames.
• Sprinklers: Drop them to slow fire spread in hard-to-reach areas.
• Upgrade system: Use earned coins to enhance water capacity, refill speed, movement, and more.

Meltdown Mode

Introduced in version 1.1, Meltdown Mode is a harder difficulty where fires spread faster, but point rewards are higher. It’s recommended for players who’ve mastered the standard campaign.

Platform Compatibility

Inferno Meltdown is a Flash-based game and runs smoothly via emulation:

• Desktop only – Full support with keyboard and mouse controls.
• Mobile: Not supported.
