Really nice. You have to get used to the gameplay but the graphics are just amazing!
Love the simplistic-desaturated art style it goes well with the gameplay
Was a bit tricky in the beginning, but enjoyed it..
would love to see a timer on each fire.. counting down until it burns the house down. Would help the user decide which flame to put out next
YES! Haha this is what I was trying to implement last few hours before posting it but I couldn't find anything that stood out infront of the particle system, would like to get that in at somepoint though , thank you for playing!
very good idea! I absolutelly love the art-style and sound! But sometimes the fire doesn't go out for a short time, but maybe I just didn't hit it!
Thank you , really appreciate you giving it a go , the fires work in a way that bigger fires take longer , each chunk of water knocks the fire size down by x amount until it is nothing, It can be annoying when one spawns straight after though
Managed to save 47 houses before I came to the conclusion that maybe they want their house to burn down.
Great game! good work
Hahah you must be up there on the leaderboards then , its quite a tough cookie to crack but once you get a rhythm you can get a few. Cheers for checking my game out I'll have a look at yours!
Super cool game. I love the little firetruck and how it gets more and more hectic the longer you play :)
Thank you! I try to get the difficulty algorythm just right, if a house burns down you get more time and the fires only spread faster when you put more out.
a very good game, but I would redo the mouse controls completely. And also, I almost went deaf :)
glad you took the time to play it! Yeah the controls can be a bit Clunky, I got pretty used to it after testing so many time, what would you suggest?
very simple control mechanics, you clamp the mouse and the machine moves in this Direction, if the mouse is pointed and clamped on fire, then foam begins to go
Yeah I see where you are coming from , would work well as a mobile game that way too!
it's convenient not only on the phone, good luck!
Very nice little game ! Graphics are beautifuls, and the gameplay is simple but addictive ! Just found a bug when you want to restart from menu.
Hey Thank you for bringing this to my attention, littlerally 1 line of code that was missing!
So hard but (_"BEST GAME!_")
Thank you!
