    Overall, Firework is a hidden gem of a game. Though the story may be lacking, the gameplay does more than enough to make up for it. It provides a unique experience for people and is easy enough to pick up and go. For people who have enjoyed the Mega Man series, this is a game that you should play. It provides enough interesting challenges while still being manageable to beat. If you have a few hours in your life to spare, Firework is a game that doesn’t disappoint.

    "Firework annoys me by the wasted potential it had. When the game is fun, it’s an absolute blast. But it’s ruined by largely derivative"Firework annoys me by the wasted potential it had. When the game is fun, it’s an absolute blast. But it’s ruined by largely derivative platforming, mediocre combat, a janky dash mechanic, a short run time, and the need to put out all the fire in the game for the true ending (which feels more like padding to make up for the game’s length). The game does have a solid foundation, however, and I really hope the development team can use that to produce something better for their next game."
