The audio here is fantastic. The guitar is very peaceful and calming, which contrasts really well with the fact that everything is literally on fire. It's basically a pixel art version of the "this is fine" meme -- complete with burning animals.

The controls, as several have mentioned, are a bit clunky. They obviously also cause some of the issues you've mentioned on the game's main page, like scenario 2. The concept is definitely there, though. It certainly fits the theme, as you described it; managing a team of firefighters in an actual emergency is not supposed to be easy and go well. I'm sure with just a bit more time, you can bring the control scheme from overly punishing to pleasantly challenging.

I'm really pleased to see the options to pause or turn off the scanlines for people that might find that difficult to deal with. It's a nice touch and probably will earn you brownie points from GMTK who always advise for adding accessibility options when able.

Also, bird screeches on point. I can really appreciate kitschy voice acting!

I really enjoyed the aesthetic of the game. It is very charming. I also really like the main theme. I was expecting something more chaotic, but ironically the current song just works way better!

All in all, I really want to see a more fleshed out version of this game. A couple of bug fixes here, and some quality of life improvements there, and you might have a great game in your hands!

Well, even after finding that you can control the firefighter with the spacebar, and even after reading in the game description what i have to do, i still didn't unterstand what i have to do (or, to be more precise HOW to do it, because what to do it is somewhat deductuble)

PS. Yes, i know that i can only spread water to the right (btw this makes some tree straight up unsalvageable), but, for some reason, it still dosen't work, but i think the problem in this case isn't really the "empty bucket" rather than the "fill bucket" (also, some feedback if a firefighter have water would be REALLY nice)

Idk, maybe i'm just dumb, or something...

I liked this game's style - the chill guitar going alongside the sound of fire was oddly and hilariously relaxing. :P The controls are certainly unusual, but I think it matches well with both the theme and the kind of retro-ish aesthetic. And I can appreciate someone that can do tiny art in a readable way, so nice work!

Also, here's a bad fan art for you:

Out of all keys you could forget to list on the instructions you managed to forget the action key "space bar" lol. (Yes, I'm repeating what I told you on Discord cuz its relevant). Also I felt the game is weirdly 'relaxing', maybe because the music is good and the pace is slow. Good job, man!

I'm huge fan of the retro graphics! But the command system unintuitive and feels like I'm jumping through hoops to perform simple actions. I like the idea of trying to control a forest fire though.

Visual presentation is great, everything else though, no quite so. It feels 80% done, with the other 20% requiring polish in control scheme. It uses arrow keys, with space bar to activate a firefighter. You also use the number keys to select actions. I have a hard time trying to figure out how I'm suppose to play. Like, I get how to interact, but how I approach the game I'm unsure of. I beat a few levels though! Overall, it's okay.

Also, please turn  up your audio levels to -6 dbs please. I can't hear anything unless I blast my speakers :c

I echo ocdshiro's comment, I was going to say the visuals are nice but I don't know how to play (if you do play, or if you just watch the scenarios play out). If you're watching them play out, I might suggest things move more frequently so that more happens? Looks nice though and seems like it could be fun!

I love the visuals and the idea for the game. The problem was that I couldn't understand how to play it, mayby if you work a bit more in the usability you would have a great game.
