I honestly didn't see a whole lot of need for downward fire, there might be one or two spots where it might be handy, but generally the levels were built to not need it. 

Thank you so much!! Both for the encouragement, and the music!! I've never done a game jam and I'm pretty new and inexperienced with making games. The music was awesome, after reading your comment, I looked at the credits page again, and realized I had used your music quite a lot. The funny thing is, that when I was searching for music, I literally was just listening to one song after another trying to find music that I liked. I wasn't even aware of the author besides putting the name in the credits. The game is super short for sure. I really didn't get the time I wanted to work on it, and it doesn't include half the features I wanted for it (I'm slightly embarrassed about omitting a pause button though). Maybe after the Jam is over, I'll work on it some more. I wanted to have more levels, and a dialogue system at the bottom where GNU would be talking and generally telling stupid jokes or have funny dialogue while you play.
