Tips
* Scrolls are randomized each playthrough, don't forget to use them in your inventory
* Try to use time as efficiently as possible 
* Each pet behaves differently
* Fire spreads when the fire timer reaches zero
* You can bash through walls, but be careful as this damages the house
* Find a source of water to replenish spells! The only source of water in a burning house is the toilet
* There are three spell points to collect on each level
* Health is a scarce resource but can be recovered with the correct scroll
* You can move into fire to melee-attack it
* Small fires can't hurt you until they grow

Very well done, a favorite among the 15+ 7drls I've tried so far this year. I love how you translated the Rift Wizard concept into this much more lighthearted theme :D. I did a video of my experience with it as well - timestamped link.

This is really cute and delightful. I love it.

Thank you!
