THE LITTLE WORLD

About Last Ember

Take one or more embers from exactly one hearth on each turn. The keeper then takes a turn. Whoever takes the last ember wins.

Local computer opponent; undo reverses both players’ actions in the turn.

How to play

  • Click, tap, or use Tab and Enter on the labeled game buttons.
  • Challenge selects one of three boards or objectives.
  • Undo reverses a decision; Restart resets the current challenge.
  • Pause or P / Escape stops the game; Z undoes a decision.

Focus the play area before using keyboard controls. Touch support does not guarantee equal performance on every phone. Flexible orientation.

Example: You may take all three embers from one hearth, but cannot take from two hearths in one turn.

A LITTLE HEAD START

Try this first.

Look for balanced pile patterns. The keeper uses an optimal Nim strategy.

KEEP YOUR PROGRESS IN MIND

Pause, reload & return

Challenge completions and best move counts are saved locally. In-progress boards are not saved. Use the game’s own pause or sound control. Reload restarts its frame and can discard the current attempt; Unload removes the frame. Neither clears saved game data. Playing & saves.
