Funny concept and original mechanics!
Woah. The effects of being burned and low on oxygen are cool, and controlling the fires is actually really hard. But why am I a monster? Is it because I am a space drug lord? :P
but where is the monster?
I got confused... but I liked it!
Good game, interesting mechanics, but why I am I a monster?
Other than that, a losing screen would be nice
I dug the sprites, and the interpretation of the theme is funny
The gameplay is nice, tough i felt like i was loosing money all the time and nobody was dying, at least not that i could see.
Other than that, it's quite nice, the effects of burning look awesome!
Interesting take on the theme and I like the visuals.
It was a good game, but I feel it could do a better job of teaching the player its mechanics, as those seem to be the most important part of the gameplay.
This game is hard.
The low-oxygen effect is way cool.
It would probably be easier to win if I just let most of the fires burn, though. This means that in this game you play as a drug lord in space who doesn't really care if his employees are in horribley dangerous work conditions. I think it fits the theme.
I... have no words...
It started off as a confusing game about making money... over time? Randomly?... whilst putting out fires. Suddenly I realized I could open doors and the spaceship, which I thought was one room, was in fact huge.
Wandering the vast labyrinth, I noticed that I was losing money rapidly. I had no idea what that meant, or how to remedy it.
Oh my, that's a lot of Fire. I'll just close these doors and pretend I didn't see that. Sorry, guys in that room.
The next thing I noticed was the oxygen was apparently low. I have no idea why, but it sounded bad so I turned some Air on. I'm not sure why that matters, since I'm in a spacesuit.
At this point, I rapidly lost control of the whole fire situation. Running through the ship, watching everyone burn to death I fire-fought myself into a corner and ran out of water.
Why is this spaceship so flammable?!
But then, just past the flames! A door with no fire beyond it. I brave the fire, bolt through and slam it shut. I find myself trapped in a dead-end room with 3 other guys and no hope of escape.
And at this moment... hurrah! My venture finally turns profitable again and I start raking in the cash. I can only conclude that this is because fire is in fact the product we are shipping.
Sadly, as leaving my room would mean instant death, I have no way to spend my riches...
5/5 I have no idea why any of that happened, but it was awesome.
I'm a terribly ineffective space firefighter... But I think this only really connects to the theme because of the drug part?
The levels are too large to be possible to contain fires. It would also help if there was some indication of where the fires were.
I don't understand the connection to the theme, other than that this is an interesting game
Good game, but it can be hard to tell if your getting points
I, am not monster? I think that will
better with a flamethrower, fireball monster,
and the humans keep...
I get it, you are the mobster. Why can't I hold all these fires.
I really like the idea of the game. Have not really understood the economy thats going on behind extinugishing fires, and would be interested in some guidance where fires are burning, like an arrow pointing that way.
Funny concept and original gameplay mechanics.
Not really monstrous, but fun enough. Need some fire radar though, can't find it for 2 minutes.
Everybody floats around on their backs. :-) Original stuff though. A little doubtful about the theme.
Super fun crazy game :) Good job.
Interpretation of the theme is quite funny. Can get pretty hard.
Lots of fun with great visuals, especially the burning effect. I liked the strategy involved in sealing off compartments to slow the spread of fires.
Challenging game and interesting mechanics. Just opened a door of a room with fire while oxygen was high and blew the whole ship :D
Would have loved fire indicators though
Really fun. I like the way fire spreads. This game is really hard! Nice work.
