Matchstick Build & Burn
Drag matchsticks to assemble a tiny sculpture, then tap to light the fuse and watch it burn before the wind extinguishes the flame.
Place sticks in a build phase, then in a burn phase watch the flame race through them; manage burn order and timing before wind or collapse ends the run.
Drag to place sticks; tap to ignite.
