Feb 11, 2013Dark, weird, and very different, Little Inferno is great for those looking for something different.
-
Feb 6, 2013You may get the sense that Little Inferno walks a fine line between satirizing our gaming habits and revelling in them. If you take it lightly, it works. Give it serious thought and you might find a bit of hypocrisy buried between the lines, but that doesn't change the fact that this is a game that sticks with you.
-
Feb 1, 2013If anything, Little Inferno is far more poignant on the App Store than it is anywhere else; with so many games attempting to exploit the 'freemium' concept, Little Inferno embraces and turns it in to something rewarding, but also (and most importantly) something that ends.

Apple'N'AppsFeb 7, 2013Little Inferno is such a finely crafted, yet strange experiment that is simply an experience not to miss that will provide a warm and fuzzy feeling.
-
Feb 1, 2013Little Inferno won't take long to reach its inevitable conclusion provided players burn all the things at a steady pace. However it's the puzzle-like combos and the funny, sometimes freaky, reactions objects have to fire that should keep them coming back even after unlocking the final catalog.

Feb 5, 2013Little Inferno was already a great game when it was released on PC and Wii U last November and it still is now that it has landed on App Store.
-
Feb 10, 2013While the allure of setting fires cools off before long, the engaging style, story, and puzzle elements make for an enticing experience.

Jan 31, 2013Little Inferno is a smart and subversive work of art that pokes fun at freemium games. But its dedication to the joke often hurts the fun little physics toy at the core.
-
Jan 31, 2013As a toy, rather than a game, there's no denying that Little Inferno's sandbox is a satisfying one that will entertain for a time. But in hammering home its message just a little too forcefully, it also lacks a certain amount of graceful bite, and as a result it doesn't quite touch the greatness it might otherwise have achieved.
-
Feb 28, 2013Little Inferno shines softly with originality and cuteness but never moves beyond this. As a more luxurious variation of Doodle God ($ 0,99), the game falls short and is not worth the hefty price tag. With all the tapping at coins and waiting, I can’t help but wonder: could Little Inferno have turned out better as a freemium game?

Nov 19, 2022The ending felt lazy, vague, and disappointing. It seemed like it was going somewhere special, and then the makers ran out of ideas.
