Nuclear Blaze looks cool, and thankfully it's pretty cool to play too. There's a bit too much "juicing" going on, with excessive slow-mo screen shaking, but if you can get over that you'll find a lovely action game of putting out fires. It has two main difficulty modes: The first time through, then a second harder mode with a slightly different route. There's also a full suite of accessibility filters that allow you to completely undermine the difficulty if you wish. Amazingly the game features a "kid mode", where the game basically plays itself, and it's aimed at pre-schoolers. I wish mode games had this! I'm struggling to think if I've ever seen a normal game have a dedicated super-easy mode for kids, as opposed to the entire game being aimed at kids. There's also has some nonsense story about cats and janitors that is probably a meme about some other game, but I refuse to look it up.

It's a really good game with pixel graphics and an enjoyable story. I love the fact that it has a kids mode and replayability. PS: It works perfect on steam deck out of the box playing with open GL and proton experimental.

A fun, easy little game (on the first playthrough, anyway). Despite what the store page claims, this works fine on the deck with Proton Experimental.

Great game. Unfortunately, it is very short. You can finish it in 3 hours. You can go for New Game+ (Hold My Beer mode) which will be basically the same, but harder (for example, you will also need to avoid turrets). The only flaw of this game is that without mouse aiming, it is more difficult than necessary (on Hold My Beer mode especially). Luckily, developer added lots of options to adjust difficulty settings.

Really fun but very short. It took me 1 hour and 15 minutes to beat the game on the normal mode. There's an additional hard mode with some extra content and more challenging rooms but since one of the big mechanics is faster spreading fire (which I don't think is that fun any way) I wasn't interested in it. Definitely recommend on a sale.
