Overview
FireJumpers — Sandbox is a real-time cooperative wildfire simulator for iPhone created by Redblox Games Inc. It lets you and friends tackle user-created scenarios together, with tools to design incidents and adjust environmental conditions. The experience focuses on collaboration rather than competition: there are no scores or win conditions, just teamwork and tactics.
Core gameplay and editor
Players can craft their own incident maps and control how a blaze behaves. The in-game scenario editor gives you direct control over the environment so you can practice or play improvised missions.
- Fine-tune wind direction and intensity to test different spread patterns.
- Paint fire lines directly onto the terrain to create custom outbreaks.
- Pick and deploy the types of firefighting units you want for each scenario.
- Use pinch-to-zoom to change your view and manage units more effectively.
Visuals and unit behavior
The simulator emphasizes readable, improved visuals and smoother unit interactions to make cooperative play more engaging and intuitive.
- Enhanced smoke and flame particle effects for clearer fire behavior cues.
- Upgraded unit models and behaviors for more realistic responses on the map.
Communication tools
Clear communication is central to successful cooperation. FireJumpers — Sandbox includes multiple ways to coordinate with teammates.
- Integrated online chat for typed messages with other players.
- A Walkie-Talkie push-to-talk option for direct voice coordination, adding a realistic radio feel.
- Because of the voice push-to-talk feature, using a Wi‑Fi connection is recommended to reduce lag and data usage.
Training and practice uses
Because the game centers on editable scenarios and open-ended play, it doubles effectively as a practice tool for learning tactics and communication.
- No scoring system or fixed rules means the focus stays on experimentation and teamwork.
- Scenario editing makes it useful for running drills or rehearsing specific situations.
