Cool graphics and idea, the player movement is kinda difficult though

Sweet old school feel, even for the controls which you really need to learn in order to master the game. Nicely done!

fiendishly hard...nice looking and playing game though

when Moon lander meets Burning Rangers :P
hard as hell to control the ship but i liked the game :)

Original concept

Didn't catch that I cannot hit walls . Really hard

Score : 3800

Small little fun game. Love the style of the graphics and the NES vibe. It would be cool if bumping into walls would damage the ship. And the propulsion is a bit slow-ish. Good game!

I would like to return to the base to repair ship, trading time for health. Nice little game!

Thanks for your comments!

@hadesfury @Random Abductions: bumping into walls actually damages the ship! :) The faster you hit the walls, the more damage you get.

@ranseur: this feature will be implemented sooner or later!

Great little game with a nice old school feel. I like the mechanic and the urgency that you make the player feel when there's a fire. The controls could use a little tweaking, but otherwise great work.

Is kinda hard to control the player! Nice graphics and water!

snemanden 2014-12-08 19:50

This has become one of my favorites so far! The graphics really capture that retro-arcade-feel.

It is really satisfying to put the fire out with the lovely water-mechanic :).
The controls are hard; but in a really good way, because they are precise, and I think they reflect your skills.

One "critique": the "zone is on fire"-sound was quite annoying :b

ha ha, this game is fiendish! Those controls are a nightmare... everything is going ok, then hit a wall and I'm bouncing around like an idiot: don't change a thing! Really beautiful game.

Most of you have realized that the game is all based on the controls. Become familiar with them is crucial.
Learning how to manage them can be very rewarding. :)

sheigeno 2014-12-09 00:25

..the controls are hard..xD but nice idea of the game

lukz 2014-12-09 00:26

Nice idea, very fun to play ;)

dsoft20 2014-12-09 08:21

Nice entry, very old stile! :D

superfrog 2014-12-09 13:51

very fun to play. nice graphics. :)

namide 2014-12-09 14:32

Good gameplay, but I think it lacks a little originality

recursiveanomaly 2014-12-09 15:03

Neat game! Interesting controls give the game a unique feel, but might be hard for some people to deal with.

capro 2014-12-09 17:27

Hardcore, fun and well crafted :)

sirdorius 2014-12-09 23:30

Very fun! Simple idea, but the physics take a lot to master.

deepnight 2014-12-09 23:48

I like the general idea of the game, but it lacks a small twist of gameplay. Something like fire that spreads or local damages on cities instead of a general health counter.

The art is nice too :)

naufr4g0 2014-12-10 00:37

@deepnight: So many ideas, so little time to implement them! :( This is why I decided to keep the game minimalistic. Maybe I'll add some feature in the future.

thopis 2014-12-10 13:27

Fun gameplay and fast controls!great!

damdoshi 2014-12-10 16:17

Pretty nice game. It is fun, the control is hard but not too much. The theme is cool, the score look fair. Good job. I have bump everywhere now x)

=> I've fixed the link for Windows. = o

arcturusdeluxe 2014-12-10 16:59

Pretty cool idea, reminds me various Spectrum/C64 games that I can't quite think of right now. Graphics are pretty simple but they work well for this game I think. Gameplay is generally fun but it gets a bit repetitive, it'd be cool to see an extended version with some gameplay twists.

notnasiul 2014-12-11 15:08

Great idea! At first I moved my ship around by firing water XDDD Then I found out I could also thrust. I love how firing water kicks the ship back, forcing you to counter it. Well done!

ibilon 2014-12-12 14:11

Nice :)
Though I died in my first try because I didn't realize that hitting the "walls" removed health.

soulgame 2014-12-16 01:00

Very hard but very well made as well. The controls are nicely responsive but they ask some time of learning to master (which is good). I got 3 times in a row a fire in the same building, maybe a semi-random fire starting would be better?

asobitech 2014-12-16 19:09

Firefighting spaceships for the win. Tough stuff.

phocker 2014-12-22 06:00

taking health damage on the walls is cruel - pretty fun game

valeour 2014-12-26 13:42

Nice graphics and audio. Game idea was really nice and fairly executed, controls are a bit of a pain though. Had a really nice feel to the game too.
