Nice entry. A little bit difficult but when you understand the control, it's pretty good. I had fun!

Very nice idea. I found that sometimes the fire wouldn't go out no matter how much water I sprayed at it.

Loved the concept, and the graphics.

Really like this concept and it works pretty well having to manage multiple controllable characters. Nice graphics too. Good work!

Hi! I agree, the controls are a bit confusing at the beginning, but I liked the idea. Quite hard also :P

The game stutters for me when there's a lot of action going on. It's a bit confusing at first, but becomes much more dynamic when you get the hang of it. Well done.

Thanks for the commments. I began the development of the game Sunday Afternoon, and I tried to give my best to finish it. Maybe with a better (and more graphical) tutorial and a better curve of difficult, the game would be more enjoyable. Thanks again for the feedback!!

I felt the controls could have been better but overall a fun and nice looking game. Well done.

Fun little fireman game, Glad you had the time to put in a tutorial, I would have been lost without it

Very interesting mechanics! Pretty hard though.

A lot of clever concepts here. This has potential. It could use more feedback on your guys getting hurt, more of an end goal and slightly more easy to use controls. Was pretty fun. Good job.

Hey, very great entry. The art looks very nice and the game idea is very special. I like the game mechanics, but the game is too hard for me (at least on the desktop, I could imagine that the game works much better with a touch device). Probably you could provide an easier difficulty level, where the fires don't spread as fast.

Cool game. With some more polish I would even pay a Dollar or so on the Play Store. Good work!

Nice concept, but at last is some repetitive. Good graphics.

I've been burned a lot and I loved it. Great game.

andreaswitzen 2014-12-16 23:05

I like it!

I think this has the potential to be a really great game. Something that I would definitely play. It's very impressive that you got it this polished in such a short time. The graphics are great. I think the gameplay just needs some tweeking.

Micro management!! Ahhhh fun idea!

mechanicmoon 2014-12-18 13:32

Thanks for the commments! We are already working in a extended version for android/pc with better controls and better gameplay. We will give you more information soon! Meanwhile, please, give us all the feedback and sugestion that you can ;-)

It is a little confusing that new fires fire up in the middle of the game, but oh well.

It could be better visually, but it does the job. Audio is a bit too repetitive, but it's a jam game, so it's to be expected.

It's a fun idea, it's not often that you see a fire fighting game, and it's fun to play, too.

pigeonsfromouterspace 2014-12-18 17:45

I liked the graphics and idea. And really good idea with putting tutorial so player can know how to play a game (a lot of people including myself forget to put obvious stuff like this in games ;)) I would just maybe replace music with some rocking chiptune :D

savethejets1 2014-12-18 21:17

Aside from the controls, the art and concept were great. Maybe make the path a brighter blue and stick out more from the rest.

GreyShock 2014-12-19 12:14

Nice original idea! However, is you gather the firemen at the same spot the challenge isn't very high. Cool entry anyway!
