I really liked it. Pretty hard though.

Great work! I really liked it. Nice idea with the tagging feature and such.

Liked the graphics, really fun gameplay mechanics, not too easy!

Liked the game, a little racist (all my bads were black XD)
I would have made it with lvls with less people in the start, also I didn't find the theme in the game

I like the concept, and the execution wasn't bad either. A good entry!

Cool idea, I like how people can spread the fire around the room. Makes for some interesting gameplay.

Awesome game! Could definitely be expanded into a full fledged game.

Wow, this is very nice. I'm surprised how well polished it is.

matthias_zarzecki 2013-08-26 03:23

Ha, this is a great idea. Reminds me of Spy-Party, only starring a lunatic spraying everybody with a fire-extinguisher :)

Brilliant concept.

I really like these Where's Wally/Waldo type games. Yours is no exception!

Good idea! Since you used Unity, mind to provide executables for Linux and Mac (it did run under Linux using Wine, though).
The graphics are ok, but not really beautiful. The music song is short and thus repetitive.

Really fun and original, can get REALLY hard when there's a lot of people though.

doonay21 2013-08-27 19:11

Hard one. Difficulty level OK, and the music is also good :)

Fun game! Not easy even on easy setting, but it was interesting take on the theme.

Hehe, I' m impressed by the fire retardant piano ;) I mean, I totally didn't at one point chose to let the party erupt into a massive inferno and giggle mischevously to myself. (Well, maybe a little)

Yup, I enjoyed playing through the game, it's pretty tough on the normal and hard settings, I kept getting the wrong person on those ones, easy mode was certainly more forgiving but still offered a challenge, kudos on adding the difficulty settings btw. Helps to expand the audience of players with differing skill levels, some nice sound effects with the fire erupting!

Overall, a fun, quick game with some decent challenge, me likey!

creative and original,,, beautiful work ...

Amusing, thoughtful game. Minesweeper with people. Great theme - with a little more work (polish, settings) this could really be something great!

ashdnazg 2013-08-30 15:13

That's one of the most original games I've seen this compo! Well done :)

diogomuller 2013-08-31 15:47

Nice! A bit hard at first, if you try to rush, but really nice idea.

janmavzla 2013-09-03 15:27

Nice take on the theme!

I found it quite easy on both EAsy and Normal difficulties, but only because the arsonist start more than one fire and I could often look at the group of people near the starting fire and follow them until I saw someone running and doing additional fires. So if they would make only ONE fire and then start running like if he was anybody else, it would be significantly harder overall.

On hard my hardest problem was putting out the fires, I won only because I had two suspects and one of them died so it had to be the other one :P

Nice work overall! Had fun with this neat little concept :)

liannethy 2013-09-12 03:17

Tough game but really enjoyable. A full version with nicer graphics and different settings would be quite fun I think :)

mrblade 2013-09-14 04:51

Amazing work! This is such a great game. I did all of the difficulties! I think it is a bit unfair that if anyway runs through fire, then their hair becomes red.
