Definitely a great interpretation of the theme. I love how the line of people act as a health bar - Mark would appreciate the dual purpose of that mechanic. It also allows for the opportunity to add more challenge in a full release. For example, the player gets a higher score for more people saved; this incentivizes not losing any individual, but also opens up the opportunity to try and save trapped characters. Doing so not only increases your time on the level - allowing the fire more time to spread - but it also adds another link in the line of people, adding difficult just like Snake does.
You could even give people abilities; the only example I can think of is that people wearing blue shirts release water when they die, extinguishing the fire a few squares around the line and thereby helping give the line a chance to reach safety.
Another idea for a full release: make the dungeon a puzzle? So there's multiple doors and not all of them lead to safety? Idk, I realize that's a complicated idea, but it's just a thought. Anyways, great submission! (Also, love the name!)
Hello there! :D Firstly, thank you for your very thorough review/feedback! That's too kind. :)
Absolutely agree with the scoring idea! I didn't have enough time to pop that in the end, but was thinking something to the effect of "time x people saved" would be a good scoring system! Perhaps bonus points from loot chests in the area (some found through one of multiple doors like you mentioned?).
I love the idea of saving trapped characters and extending the line! :D That and being able to release some small bursts of water (with limited amounts?) would be a really interesting dynamic. These are some really great ideas, very much appreciated! :D
Awww, awesome! I'm glad you like the ideas - they're yours! I look forward to seeing your future in gaming :-)
I couldn't download the game through the Itch app. It looks like you forgot to mark is as being for Windows.
OH!! Thank you for pointing this out! <3 Missed those options during the upload.
Updated. :D
Man tbh gameplay-wise you are on the top. This fire mechanic coupled with the snake movement is so stressing and powerful x). Well done!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! :D
Oh no! :) Nice job man, finishing on time too!
Hehe just in time! Thank you so much! :-)
I love it!
Thank you! :D <3
