How to play
Tap it to launch a firework; tap quickly for a few at once.
Notes
A firework shell is shot high into the air, where it bursts and throws out little pellets called stars, which burn in bright colors. The colors come from metals mixed in: strontium burns red, barium green, copper blue and sodium yellow.
Tap it to launch: a rocket rises from one of the tubes in the crate and bursts in that tube's color. Each tap fires a different tube and a different shell: a round peony, a ring, a drooping willow or a star, so no two in a row look alike. Tap quickly and up to three fly at once, one from each tube.
