Pyro Playground Guide: The core gameplay loop
About
OverviewPyro Playground is a fireworks simulator where you light firecrackers, rockets, and other pyrotechnics to earn in-game cash. That cash goes straight back into unlocking new fireworks, so the whole game is built around that loop. This guide covers how to get started, how to keep the game running smoothly, and what badges you can chase.
