A good, simple retro pixel game. Your visual style and animations work well with the SFXR-style sounds. I'm at a loss at how to use the fire extinguisher, though...

I really like the graphical style
Nice one! Very simple and polished!
Like the gameplay, real stressful and and nice graphics too...
Hey Nesis, thanks for the feedback. Part of a good game is communicating to the player, and it could use some more polishing. To use the extinguisher, press X to pick it up. While you are holding it, hold space to use it. Press X again to drop it.
Hard but great!
I liked the idea, but was a bit confused about what I was meant to do. Tried a couple things. But everything seemed futile!
Very nice idea, simple and attractive gameplay
Pretty nice :-)
Most of all, I loved the suspense. You never feel safe. You never feel like you will prevail (except for the last few seconds before winning), but still hope and pray that no crack will open in next too seconds while you're extinguishing fires. Great atmosphere. Quite challenging too, took me something near 20 tries to get right timing. Channel 3, contrasting with drama is a nice touch too.
Collision detection was a weak spot, though, sometimes you are stuck in the wall, sometimes you unexpectedly go through it, and you are never sure how to actually put that fire down. It kind of disturbed atmosphere, but never broken it, so I still loved this game a lot.
The graphics are nice and I like the idea of the game.
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the cracks made the bar go down too fast. It seemed like every time I got a crack I would have zero bar before I got through fixing it and getting back.
Maybe I just suck, though :P
Sergraz, I definitely see that issue. Dominator_101, after the jam I'll keep tweaking the difficulty.
Love the graphics, looks awesome
Interesting idea and enjoyably challenging. Feels quite overwhelming at first -- and I don't know if that was your intention (?) -- so I was initially confused, I must admit.
Really hard, I can't figure out how to win this. But it looks great, and the idea is nice.
At times I felt the controls were a little wonky, but this may have been my browser acting up... -_-
