How does your game apply the limitation (and optionally, the theme)?
In this game, you are a firefighter who has to save civilians stuck in burning buildings and bring them to the ambulance. You can only carry one person at a time, but if there is a building that is "on the edge," meaning to say that it is almost going to collapse, your character too will be “on the edge," giving you the ability to “boss up." This allows you to carry two people at a time and will speed you up.

Gameplay is very smooth but its a bit hard for me other than that overall game is amazing!
Thank you so much for your feedback!
Thank you so much for your feedback! We get your sentiments regarding the times when the buildings burn and will look into properly balancing these out moving forward
Idk why this one really hit my funny bone. Seeing the firefighter "boss up" just made me giggle, everytime. It was more challenging than I expected but, fun to play and figure out. Great job!
Thank you so much for your feedback! Glad to know you had fun beating the game!
Enjoyed playing this one! nice graphics and music, gives me the retro arcade feel to it, easy to manage controls , this game has good replay value and I am impressed with it's immersive gameplay! great work! keep it up!
Thank you so much for your feedback! We're really glad that you were able to have fun with our game!
Really great! I love the concept and the design and the details you added. The minimap was great too. It was maybe missing a few sounds along the way, but overall I think it was great! Good job
Thank you so much for your feedback! We're really happy that you got to appreciate the small details we put in the game as well. Definitely agree with your comment regarding the sounds and will make sure to improve the system moving forward!
I really liked the idea of the game, it's fun and very challenging. Good job! :)
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the positive comments!
Very nice game, loved the art and your take on the theme! It was a hard game but this actually out you... on the edge in my opinion! I wish the collision of the civilians was wider, so you could pick up more easily and I don't think there was a reason to put the pickup and drop on a different button. Great game, very fun!
Thank you so much for your feedback. Definitely agree that the collider on the civilian could have been much larger. The pickup and drop buttons were something we forgot to come back to since we had to take out the feature of being able to drop the civilians anywhere instead of just in the ambulance, which is surely something we will address moving forward. Super happy to know the difficulty put you on the edge as well. Thank you very much!
Great game! Love the interpretation on the theme, and the requirement. It's a unique concept and definitely could be an actual game. The artstyle is really nice, the audio is also really nice. I get that players are supposed to feel on the edge, but this feels a little too hard, it seems that the houses burn down way too quickly, even on the first level. But other than that, love the game, solid entry!
Thank you so much for your feedback! Will look into ways to balance out the levels more as well in order to give players a better time playing. Thank you so much again!
Really fun game... It challenging
Thank you so much for playing!!
Great game! I love the concept and how you thought about the boss limitation in a very unique way. It looks great and feels great to play. Timers are pretty tight, so you are really stressed, but it's doable. I also love how you made the music get faster while bossed up. Really nice game, well done!
Thank you so much for your feedback! Glad to know you were able to accomplish the game! We really did try to emphasize that feeling of being on the edge onto our players so glad to know you felt that as well. Thank youu!
Very nice game! The visual presentation is great and it feels good to play. Timers are tight so the player feels "on the edge" while playing. I hope I'll manage to clear all levels!
Thank you so much for playing! We really wanted the players to feel on the edge as well whenever the character in the game is to really emphasize that aspect of the game. Super happy to know it made you feel the way we were hoping it would. Thank youu!
Great game (and good to see that I should not be a firefighter.. ;)).
Loved the graphics and the smooth controls (and the layout of the keys actually. I've been playing multiple games where I have to do everything with one hand.. here it's more managable). Good work.
Thank you so much for playing! Glad to know you liked the graphics and the controls, we really spent a lot of time trying to get those just right. Thank you!!
Nice game. The timing is really short for a beginning. I suggest a first level with just one house with the ambulance just below. Just one button to pick up/drop will be enough. Overall nice concept, a felling of 80' games. Well done.
Thank you so much for those wonderful suggestions! Also feel that it would make the game a lot better if implemented. Glad to know you had fun! Thank you again!
Really good game. The only thing that holds this title down is the lack of sound and music.
Thank you for your feedback. Will make sure to look into properly integrating sounds across different scenes to address this. Thank you so much!
Fun game and concept. Really liked the "boss up" animation and sound.
Thank you so much! Glad to know you had fun!
