Released exactly a year ago for Windows Ted Martens hasn’t stopped receiving petitions to adapt his particular “Fireplace”  game….thing as he describes it for Mac, well, it finally is here! A 7mb executable file conceived more like an interactive screensaver (people still use these?) to sit back and relax during these wintery days.

 Ted wanted a big-pixeled fireplace to keep in his bedroom and thought … maybe other people might too, so he designed the art and programming himself. Some of the words you can use include: marshmallow, firecracker, fireworks, sausage, hotdog, smore, blow, wood, eat,  photo, paper.. and water of course to end it all. The log will burn down to ashes about an hour later… and you can always suggest him to add more commands e-mailing him:  fireplacegame@gmail.com.
