Great entry, lots of unique and well implemented mechanics (bucket, hammer, glass, fire extinguisher). This entry is really showing how little custom art assets you need to make a compelling and great looking experience so well done. My only feedback is I personally dont like having to move my fingers from the moving buttons to use an action, so if the F button was mapped to the spacebar it would have been easier to aim and shoot the water at the same time. Great work!

Nice use of particles. I found control fine enough (or maybe it wasn't described on the page earlier?).  Maybe leaning more into the theme would have spiced the gameplay up, as it felt more of a normal firefighter game

Lack of controls being taught to you was a huge issue, other than that the game is fine! Functions well and adheres to the theme. I had a hard time figuring out  what to do with the sledgehammer as I couldn't seem to drop it.

You should really tell your players the controls, I had to try everything. Also, your 'Main Menu' is just the first level.

Sorry about the controls part - after building the game main menu glitched and did not work at all. There was a how to play section there.
The 'Main Menu' brings you to the first level because of the same issue

I guess the fire is "out of control"?

Fun game but a control explanation would be nice and it doesn't tie into the theme very well
