Your dropship crashed on a hostile world, the swarm is coming, and the rescue window is 90 seconds away. Inferno Drop is a lane-defense survival game with a twist found nowhere else in the arcade: every control is on your face. Your hands never enter it.
If a camera is not an option, Start with Control maps the whole loadout to the keyboard: sweep the aim with the arrow keys, hold Space to pour flame, tap Q for a grenade volley and E for Overdrive. On phones you drag to aim and use the on-screen Fire, Nade, and Boost buttons. Heat, combos, bosses, and the leaderboard behave exactly as they do in face-controlled play.
The flamethrower overheats after roughly eight seconds of continuous fire, then forces a 1.4-second vent, so survival has a rhythm: burn in bursts, breathe, burn again. Overdrive charges a few percent per kill (about 26 kills to fill) and buys four seconds of boosted damage with no heat cost at all.
Your suit takes four hits. Each hit also knocks your fire level down a notch, and fire levels 1 through 5 govern the cone, reach, and damage of the flame. The barricade in front of you absorbs the swarm first, but it is a shield, not a lifeline: the run only ends when the suit does.
Kills are worth 10 to 40 points by bug type, 150 for a boss sac, and 1,000 for a boss. Chain kills within a second and a half of each other and the multiplier climbs: double at a 5 chain, triple at 15, and five times at 30. Three quiet seconds, or one hit to the suit, breaks the chain. Clearing a stage adds a bonus for remaining barricade health and 50 points per unused grenade.
Each stage lasts 90 seconds and ends with the rescue ship's landing burn incinerating everything on screen. The final 12 seconds are a spawn surge. Bosses arrive mid-stage on stages three and five: the Obsidian Queen and the Hive Empress. Between stages you draft one upgrade card, from a longer burn and a wider nozzle to sticky napalm and chain ignition. After stage five the drop goes endless, ramping 12 percent per loop.
Inferno Drop requires no hand or arm movement whatsoever, which makes it the arcade's most approachable cabinet for players with limited upper-body mobility. It does rely on mouth, eyebrow, and smile expressions. Brief face dropouts are held rather than cutting your flame, the camera preview is hidden by default, sound can be muted from the pause menu, and the game auto-pauses on tab switches. On phones it plays in portrait.

Correct. Fire, aim, grenades, and Overdrive are all face gestures. The game does not even load a hand-tracking model.
Four hits to your suit. A breached barricade lets bugs through to you, but the barricade itself falling is survivable.
Five authored stages with two boss encounters, then an endless mode that keeps scaling. High scores post to the arcade leaderboard.
