How does your game fit the theme?
Mechanically: Our game steals liberally from auto-battler mechanics, allowing players to deploy units which the player has no direct control over to accomplish a task. Thematically, our game focused on the idea of fires burning out of control. Psychologically, we employed the usage of strict time limits during the setup and play phases to support this "out of control" feeling.

I really miss a button to deploy my firefighters immediately. :)
Nice art work!
I kept forgetting to deploy my units, it would be nice to have some kind of reminder when the timer is approaching zero!
Great art work. If the mechanic is changed such that you can only control one unit at a time, I think that would be quite interesting. You need to switch unit back and forth and try to put out fire across the map, I can envision that players would feel more tense and out of control during the fire. Good job! Great execution on your idea!
great art work and animation!
Very original concept! I think the text is too small, and the time limit wasn't long enough for me to fully understand what to do.
I really liked the concept of this game. Feels kinda refreshing. Good job!
Good job. This game and concept is pretty fun. Would love to see some more sound effects for things. Overall I give it a good thumbs up.
Please check out little game out if you get the chance.
I know! We had a build that put in some more sound effects, but it finished just short of the time limit. Thanks!
