“Great game reminds me of Fireworks Construction Kit by BorderBund in the 80's for Amiga 500 ....this is the first game like that game to be made in years. If you like fireworks, and wanted to create your own fireworks…”

“Soo here's my rating of this game. I can recommend this game to others, but with a caveat if their computer can't handle high and ultra graphics on other games. Here's pros and cons of this game, do what you will with…”

“Compared to FWsim, it has some great graphics, seems easier to use and a bit more fun. I didn't put much time into it on count of the very limited scenery options. No fields. No ability for custom scenery or background.…”

“I know what you're all thinking... not even an hour of play and he's leaving a review? Yeah well Listen, my children, and you shall hear. Firstly. There are only 2 maps. Cologne and Olympiapark. So location is limited.…”
“Love it hands down it takes a few minutes to get the hang of it but that’s like anything new. But I do have to say this game needs work it’s a bit of a bug fest at the moment think Starship Troopers although it is still…”

“The dev's havn't updated, posted information and changed the gameplay in anyway since release. The base game has 2 maps, and about 35 different effects nothings been updated. Was fun for my play time but got stale…”
“For some reason I rushed into buying this game simply because I've always wanted a fireworks simulator, and this looked really good from the screenshots and videos. But unfortunately it's just not as good as it makes it…”
“For a game that should be very simple and fun ...it is way to complicated ! ..it is not worthy ! after you place your fireworks they dont even ignite as you want and in the order you want or don't even ignite at all…”

“Disappointing. That's the only thing I can really say about it. It fails to deliver in every way. It's sloppily coded, poorly designed, difficult to figure out, extremely limited in variety of mortars & locations.…”
“i love fireworks and i really enjoyed this game. If i save a custom effect it glitches once in a while but i don't have problems with that because the next time i press save it does work. What i really dislike is that…”

“This game seemed great at first, the menu screens worked at a solid frame-rate. Right as soon as I pulled up one of the demo shows, the frame-rate dropped from 60fps to 10fps. Not a good sign when you turn down all of…”
“The game is very buggy - in particular, the sequence editor. It is very clunky and slow to move lots of fireworks / effects etc - even on a very beefy pc which has an i7, 16GB ram, SSD disk and dedicated GFX card.”
