Great (Pathing) Puzzle Game!

I love the concept you're using here. It's like a cross of the pathing game similar to sokoban with a twist.

I didn't say this was excellent for a few reasons. Partly because you expect new players to complete maps at 100% the first time they play, and partly because there's no logical reason to burn an island (your comment suggests I would be burning towns and stuff. woo bloodshed! wtf islands? you get the idea i hope)

Anyways, to fix this I suggest you allow for less than perfect land burns. Would be nice to know that I can at least see level 2 with only 5 or 6 points on level 1. I also suggest developing a bigger map mode where the idea is to figure out a way to get past the blue flames to get to a specific goal area. Maybe even an unlimited point mode where each move you do the blue flames move as well.

Still, interesting twist on the "alternate sokoban" genre, what I like to call turn based pathing games. Hope to see some improvements on this soon!

It's hard game but not too annoying. I liked it.

Here's why people can't pass the first level

I just couldn't pass the first level either, until I realized that burn points is not the same as the point you need to collect to win. Win-points are only awarded for burning a tile completly, while burn points is given for each time you burn it.

I suggest making a better naming. Call it "Burns" or "Power" instead of "Burn points" will probably make it easier to understand, and write somewhere that you have to burn a tile completly.

Much too difficult

I got to level 3 after exactly 32 minutes of playing and gave up. The game has a great Turn-Based formula, but it's just much too hard. I suggest putting in more variables and less expensive abilities.
