Wetline: Fire Break

Wetline: Fire Break is a firefighting game in which you pilot a water bomber to protect a town from a wildfire. Fire spreads from tree to tree and tile to tile, so you get ahead of it by wetting healthy tiles in its path. A wetline stops the flames at its edge.

Control the fire

You fly at different altitudes: descend over a lake to refill your tank, climb to clear ridges and level out to drop water. Your plane’s movement shapes the trail of wet tiles, and each tank holds a limited amount of water, so you need to time your runs. You can also light controlled backburns to deprive an advancing fire front of fuel.

Wind shifts can carry embers far downwind and start new fires behind your line. The weather panel provides an early warning. Tile types affect how quickly fire spreads: fields can turn into infernos, while thick forests give you more time to respond.

Triage each run

You decide which threats to address, when to refill and whether to make another pass with little fuel left. Houses and towns determine your score; losing too much of the map ends the run. Levels are rated by how much you save, with three stars to pursue or a narrow escape as another possible result.
