I think you put the wrong link for the web player, unless Google is your game

sojabird 2015-08-24 02:12

Woops should be fixed

hackhalo2 2015-08-24 03:57

It's a neat concept, and I felt like a monster for burning a forest. Good job

Lacks some fleeing animals! Dark. Love the art style. Original!

sojabird 2015-08-24 11:10

Fleeing animals! That's GREAT!!!!
Burning squirres even more >:3

sojabird 2015-08-24 12:33

Small update: Fixed some performance issues

kirilllosev 2015-08-24 12:54

I've never played something like that. Thanks for a new experience

chromebookbob 2015-08-24 12:58

interesting idea

demy 2015-08-24 13:06

Game restart is a bit laggy now. It wasn't quite obvious how and why should I control the wind. Also, zooming out could be useful too. The style is nice and I liked how fire and forest looked like.

crare 2015-08-24 13:09

Remember kids don't play with fire! hahah :D nice looking game. simple gameplay. More bombs?

sojabird 2015-08-24 14:23

@Demy
Tnx for the feedback.
I should be able to improve the restart feature.
The wind helps spread the fire in the direction the wind is blowing.
I do agree that it should get more player-feedback to display what happens, maybe I'll do some particle thing where you see the fire spread more.
Zooming is already implemented, I did forget to put it in the controls (fixed).

@crare
Tnx for the comment!
I didn't had much time to balance out the game, but I'll try to add more bombs or ways to gain new bombs if I continue to work on this project :)



Thanks for all the comments <3

Thanks for playing mine! I hope you had all your players alive when you fought the monster for the good ending. ;) I'll play your game and leave a comment soon!

Cool, I like the art :)

gafblizzard 2015-08-25 07:43

After playing: Nice art and mood! I was pretty bad at burning much of the forest though. Smokey the Bear would be proud.

bytegrove 2015-08-25 15:14

Interesting interpretation of the theme! The controls were a little unintuitive, and hard to tell apart from the game world. Maybe let the player be able to control the wind by rotating the wind icon directly? Maybe have some more graphical hints of how the parameters will affect how the fire spreads.
Cool game, nice work! :)

mcfood 2015-08-26 12:20

Ohh that was interesting. Only I can prevent forest fires.
Do different wind speeds weaken the fire, or does it always help the fire spread? It was hard to tell.

That was fun in a monstrous sort of way. Great work!

azureaspect 2015-08-26 12:22

Well done with different kinds of fires (from shrub to tree fires, adds some spice to burning thins up)

iossif 2015-08-26 12:49

i really like the art style. very classic.

sojabird 2015-08-26 13:01

@McFood the wind helps spread the fire in a specific direction.
Fire will spread by default to nearby vegitation, the wind will help give it extra reach in the winds direction.
I do agree, it lacks some feedback for the player.

split82 2015-08-27 18:33

Pretty cool game. Some particles would be nice for wind, so you can understand the direction of the wind.

pietro-ferrantelli 2015-08-28 09:10

Cool entry ! The artstyle was nice and the concept pretty interesting ! Keep it up, dude :D

littlethor 2015-08-28 12:26

An interesting idea and a well made game! More objectives for the player could have been pretty nice.

rafaella 2015-08-28 14:53

I found it a little confusing.

ithildin 2015-08-29 09:48

Very clever and original use of the theme, I loved the concept even if I felt like an awful person afterwards :D

Great job!

tijmentio 2015-08-31 12:43

Hallo ik ben Emiel Kampen van IndieKings en ik zit hier met Tijmen Tio. We vonden het begin interessant; de bom droppen was leuk. Daarna ging het bergafwaarts; we hadden niet meer zoveel te doen. Emiel mist motivatie als monster. Wat is het doel van de game? Waarom brand ik een bos af? Geef mij feedback over mijn performance in het spel. Tijmen: De impact van jou als speler voelde niet relevant (zeker tijdens het wind besturingsgedeelte).

lukezaz 2015-08-31 22:47

Good, though a bit boring waiting for the fire to spread. Might be better with things for the fire to hit that cause things to happen, like getting another bomb or spreading the fire over an area where it was hit. Controls were great though!

jupiter_hadley 2015-09-06 13:18

Really neat game! I included it in part 19 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/bouSnGLQUcs
