hi, thank you for the review! sorry, i didn't have time to write in a proper tutorial/command list, i guess i hoped the weird controls would be part of the "out of control" thing and drive experimenting but that was a bit of laziness lol.
the idea is to watch the scenarios play out / try to put out the fire without any animals or firefighters dying (and some animals will kill each other). sorry for the confusion, i'll put these instructions in the description so hopefully it's more clear. thank you for the compliment on the visuals!
edit: here are the instructions i just put in the description:
CONTROLS:
When in a scenario: USE THE ARROW KEYS TO CONTROL THE CURSOR. If the cursor is over a creature, HIT SPACE TO ACTIVATE IT.
If activating a FIREFIGHTER, there's a list of commands that put the firefighter into a different state.
STATE 1: GET WATER: the firefighter will have empty buckets. Maneuver them (with arrow keys) to a puddle to GATHER THE WATER UP. Afterwords, the firefighter will start wandering again but with a FLAG in the code turned on that they have water.
STATE 2: BREAK BLOCK: the firefighter will DESTROY ANY ROCKS they come into contact with. Animals sometimes hide under rocks, though!
STATE 3: EMPTY BUCKETS: if the WATER FLAG from state 1 is turned ON, this state will allow the firefighter to dump the water out. If you hit SPACE, they'll dump the water out one space to the firefighter's right. Maneuver them next to a fire to put it out.
I hope you'll give the game another shot!
