I thought the flight controls were well done, even if the plane itself seemed to move a bit slow. The fire was hard to see from a distance and the smaller fires didn’t seem to give off smoke themselves so, I had trouble noticing when the fire was spreading or whether or not I successfully doused a fire or not.
It felt like I had an infinite supply of water, which, was kind of unfortunate. I saw the water tower in the forest area and initially thought this was a game that needed me to go back and forth to the tower. I think that would have added a full little mechanic to the game.
I noticed, also, that while there is a game failure state, there is no victory state. My second run through the game, I managed to put out all of the fire, but the game never ended or even told me I put out all of the fire… I did enjoy flying the plane around, though.
Finally, maybe I wasn’t hitting the right key, but, when I pressed the CREDITS options in the main menu, I was brought to the credits, but I could not leave. I had to reload the game to be able to get out of the CREDITS menu.
Over all, I think this could be a fun game, but, at present, the fire if often hard to see and doesn’t telegraph it’s spread very well. Having an unlimited amount of water to drop kinda makes the game a bit boring. I did really like the flight controls, though!
