Yes, besides all audio

Nice idea and well implemented!
Really fun concept! I liked spreading the fire, but the water guys kept extinguishing it! Still very entertaining though. Nice graphics and cool audio. Great job!
So addictive lol. Cool little game.
Fun game and cool innovative idea, man do i hate the water drops :)
Here is my (first) game entry, check it out if you like: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-9/rate/1932821
This was a fun game, would love to play this again with some more features, still this is a great job given the time crunch!
Thanks for playing!
Very interesting concept, and fun to play, but kinda gets repetitive over time. Sound effects are really calming and make the game pop. The only thing I would change is to make a clear end goal. Very well done job!
Yep, I kinda over scoped when I only seriously started working on the game jam 3 days ago, couldn't test the game a lot for its fun-ness. Thanks for the suggestions btw! I'll try to improve in my future games!
Hello, a simple game but very engaging! I was first confused as to what I had to do so I would recommend explaining a bit about the game in the description for stupid people like me hehe.
Also, some background music would have made the game pop!
Overall, Great job! The game was a lot of fun! :)
Thank you for your kind words! I agree, I should've put the instructions in the game instead of the description of the game page. And I definitely should include music haha, if only I had more time to work on it heh.
I get it. A week is too short for developing a game. The game I made with my team is full of bugs haha >_<
My new favourite game about making a forest fire!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Interesting idea! Though I couldn't tell I was able to move for a while until I tried it at random (not mentioned in instructions). Couldn't understand what the point of depositing at campfire was.
Sorry! I forgot to add the instructions for movement, just put it in now in the description.
The campfire is used to respawn the spark (costs 50), so when you die, you can respawn.
Strangely addictive game. I like the design where you don't just machine gun your life away. You only need to get things started...and let the forest fire do the rest. It's actually a clever defensive game. Great submission.
Thanks for playing and the comments!
I'm a dummy but how do I collect the fire orbs?
Once the trees burn enough to drop an orb, I was able to just walk into them to collect
I did not know you could walk, haha!
Ahhh, I totally forgot to add WASD to the instructions to control, my bad!
