Loved it. Liked the climbing mechanics but I wish it would be a bit faster. Loved how fire spreads across the map and makes it more challenging to save koalas. Overall a fun game. Good Job!
A koalaty game (how has no one said this yet!?) - well done! the game is super hard - I could only save 2 - and that made me sad :(
Interesting game. Climbing looks good, the fire spreads nicely. So mechanicly sound. Sadly, it's burning up my pc as well ^^. Hopefully that can be patched out later.
Was not a fan of the sleeping mechanic or the fact the babies get burned while on the escape pad.
Love the original idea and the fire mechanics.
Climbing is a great idea but feels a little bit weird sometimes.
Anyway, a very nice game!

Okay. I'm all in.
Also I had this in my head while climbing one of the trees in this game. Very cool that you implemented climbing, don't see that one in jams often.
I like the environmentalist tone. I have personally thought for awhile that there's untapped potential in firefighting as a video game. Cool game! Thanks!
Cute little project! Although the cover image is cool, I think it'd be more appealing if it closer matched the 3d style of the game. I found the fire visuals to be a little confusing in determining where exactly I needed to spray the water. With the very limited time, I wasn't sure if I could increase it somehow so opted instead to just run through the flames for a more direct route. I think there is just a little too much going on in such a short amount of time. I would recommend focusing more on the huge potential of the fire, water and tree climbing mechanics. I think it would also be useful to know where the baby koalas are/were, even roughly or occasionally. Lastly, the download size is a bit rough on slower connections. Looking forward to seeing where you take the game!
Funny start screen and good story. Was fun to play, saving some Koalas and taking naps lol
This was a really cool game! I just found myself getting sad when I couldn't save the baby koalas but you know what that means I was emotionally invested so props to the team!
I can't believe Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater stole the tree-climbing mechanic from this game
