Chill the Piro combines firefighting with a pursuit of a pyromancer. Its central challenge is to extinguish fires, rescue people and stop the arsonist, with the game describing its mix as puzzle and action. Rather than relying only on quick reactions, the premise also calls for finding a workable sequence of actions and thinking quickly under pressure.
The mode descriptions give that puzzle focus distinct forms. In one, players work out how to put out every fire and save building residents. An advanced variant makes preventing deaths essential, while rescuing and getting residents out can also earn extra points and a bonus item. Another mode shifts the objective to catching the pyromancer, using fire-extinguishing to knock him off balance. These objectives make the firefighting task more than a single repeated goal.
The store description lists twenty-five tricky levels, three modes with two modifications, plus secrets and a mini-game.
