System Requirements

PC minimum and recommended specs

Fireworks Mania - An Explosive Simulator

Recommended

Recommended:
  • OS: Windows 11 (64 bit)
  • Processor: I5-4690k
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: Nvidia GTX 1080
  • DirectX: Version 11
  • Storage: 8 GB available space
  • Sound Card: Still pretty boring without
  • Additional Notes: These are recommended specs for an "ok" experience. The game offers the freedom to spawn how much you want, so no matter how good a PC you have you can make it go to 1 digit frames per second if you really want. Mods from the Workshop are made by other players in the community so the quality may vary and sometimes even result in game crash or super low frames per second without any obvious reason.
