Very polished well done! I had this concept in my head but our team chose to go for my farm game idea, I'm glad we didn't go for this concept because what I had in mind for the game was so trash and boring compared to this, you executed it perfectly and way better than I ever could, I'm shocked!
The UI is amazing, the SFX are nice, the difficulty is perfect for me, and that art is utilized perfectly! But there are some things I don't like such as, being hurt by my own fire, also sometimes it's not clear where I'm shooting, or which tree is effected by my fire, its until I am really far away from the trees I thought I shot is when I realize I didn't, driving diagonally would be nice too!
Despite all of what I said, I really enjoyed this game, it's very well done and polished for a 48hr game jam, great job and good luck if you're willing to update it later on! :D
Thanks for your kind words!! I really appreciate them.
I'm surprised that the difficulty was perfect for you! Most of the players said that was hard, and it actually is.
Also the diagonal movement is something that everyone mentioned. I'll add it when the jam is over.
Thank you so much!!
Anytime! Also pro gamer moment haha

Well done still. You've created a working game that looks incredible in just 48 hours. No easy task, I know.
Hi! Thanks for the feedback!!
The controls aren't diagonally because of a lack of time. I'll probably fix it once the jam ends.
Also I know the difficulty is really hard. I guess it was easy for me because I made the game, but I'll have to improve it too.
And about the police, that's totally a bug. They are specifically programmed to not spawn near to you. I'll check it out.
Thanks for playing the game and for the feedback! I'm sorry if you didn't enjoy it as much as I expected.
Cool idea! Like the other said it needs some balancing but still had fun!
Yeah, the difficulty is not balanced but I'll fix it when the jam ends :)
very difficult game, i think because you're meant set everything on fire but it also damages you. I did quite enjoy exploding police cars but i do wish you could move in more than 4 directions
I know, many people said it. I didn't have time for it. I'll try to improve it once the jam ends.
Thank you so much for the feedback!! :)
nice game and plays really well!!! i've found it a bit uncomfortable to fire, because i couldn't move the mouse while moving with wasd. overall, the game looks really nice!
What do you mean? You couldn't aim while moving? That's totally a bug. I'll check it out.
Thanks for your comment!! :)
yes, my mouse was stuck at the same position, where it was before moving the vehicle, so i had to stop to aim again. thanks for reply )
I'll check it. Thanks for reporting it!
art style is chefs kiss. Great job!
Thank you!! :)
Very entertaining! I love how the win or lose message is seen on screen, it has a lot of personality. It's also cool that it has several levels. The only bad thing is that many times, since you're not going to know where the firefighters are coming from, you lock yourself in fire and can't go burn them :( Maybe having the fire not burn you but having the cops hurt you more could work? I don't know, but what I do know is that it's a great entry!
Yeah, that was the biggest problem of the game. I tried solving it by making the fire increase a lot more the percentage bar, but I'll tweak it again once the jam is over. Thanks for the feedbak!! :)
Nice little game ! Maybe speed up the fire truck or the movement. Anyway, good job ! Congrats to the team !
I'll test it! Thanks for the comment! :)
Very fun! and looks great!
One change I would make is to make it more clear what is on fire and what isnt.
Okay! I'm taking notes :)
I like the concept, being a fire helper is pretty funny!
Thank you!! :)
Pretty coolio concept!! :) The visuals were really nice too! Perhaps the movement could use a tiny bit of work (being able to move diagonally and details like that) as it felt a lil stiff at times. But overall, a pretty neat game!!
At the start you could move diagonally but it caused several bugs that I had no time to fix :/
Thanks for the feedback!!! :D
It's really cool, but it was a bit hard for me. Other than that it was really good.
Yeah, I know, I didn't have time to test it propertly with other people so it ended up being a little bit hard in some levels. I'm sorry for that. Anyways thanks for playing it!! :)
Really enjoyed playing this one!
Nice polished game! 🔥
Good to hear that! Thank you so much!!
Fellow firefighter game!
Presentation and sound is very RAD 😎
Amazing game!
Thanks for playing it!! :)
Very fun, it's cooler to destroy the police cars with no focus on the path lol
Thanks!! :D
It is a really fun idea! I had a blast destroying forests hahahaha. If you add more mechanics it will be an incredible full game!
I wanted to add helicopters but I didn't have time... :(
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it :D
Absolutely love the idea
Thank you!!!
NICE!
Thanks!!
