Itch.io is giving a 404 even when I remove the (extra?) character at the beginning. Looks cool, I'd love to play if you can fix the URL.

There shouldn't be an extra character at the beginning (assuming you're talking about the dash). That's part of my username I think.

Great job, you could have submitted this for LD33 (be the monster). would have liked different music each level, but ok.

Very simple mechanic but it's not bad, i like it! Nice song.

ghen 2015-12-14 10:53

404 not found :/

Nice idea :) Only the shooting felt a bit out of place.

tharemo 2015-12-14 11:25

Good job, I like it! It's a little short and the music gets repetative after a while, but it's fun.

muit 2015-12-14 11:29

Cool game and cool idea! Only the movement is not so comfortable but its ok.

I'm stuck on the 3rd level..
You're using Unity 3D. Why not use WebGL build to increase compatibility?

Nice game. Too much fire though.

sourtrance 2015-12-15 01:08

Interesting! I like your interpretation of the theme. The mechanics work pretty well except shooting doesn't feel that great. Honestly though, I forgot I could even shoot the first time I played through it. I just waited until the firemen burned to death, evading their attacks. Since shooting doesn't seem like an important mechanic I don't think it's a big deal.

Its really rare.
Nice thinking of growing by the way

andarilhoz 2015-12-15 01:14

Like the gameplay, and the idea of spreading the fire, but the controls where a little weird, and you should put some sound effects, would make it really cool with fire sounds

Fun at first but gets repetitive

justinooncx 2015-12-15 01:38

A surprisingly relaxing game! A bit easy, though.

qwetro 2015-12-15 06:28

Interesting idea, burn it all, lol

It was a fun little game. For some reason I didn't hear any music but that might be a problem with my pc. Also the firemen could be a little harder to fight to make the game more interesting. I only shot at them once because after that I realized that once I've jumped onto their firetruck they wouldn't get at me anyway.

Oh no, I couldn't get it to work! The web version the flame didn't seem to move, couldn't find an O/S version, and my computer stinks at exe's, so my bad. What am I doing wrong??

_benhumphries 2015-12-16 03:06

I'm not sure why the web version's flame didn't move, but I'll look into it. I don't have a build specifically for O/S, so I can't do much for you right now if you can't run exe's. If I can reproduce the web version's glitch and fix it I'll let you know.

Best thing about this game:
The graphics were pretty good! Even though you often used simple shapes it still worked well.

Suggestion:
I think the main thing this game is lacking is difficulty. Wasn't really anything stopping me from spamming the mouse in one direction and racing through the level.

jezzamon 2015-12-17 07:52

Oh, also the music was very very quite. I think you want to make it a little louder next time

astro-cat 2015-12-17 16:44

Cool game!

knason 2015-12-17 19:51

I had fun playing this, nice graphic as well :-) great job!

flakoflak 2015-12-22 06:32

Didn't feel the shooting right. good work.

squarebridges 2015-12-23 01:22

Link doesn't work for me, either.

shahid 2015-12-29 20:41

Well done! An impressive amount of work in such a short space of time and fun!

speciesunknown 2016-01-02 01:52

Nice game, a bit easy - i was able to reliably jump over all the firemen and just wait till the secondary fires consumed them. I was also excited when I found I could push the fire engines around - perhaps you could add a mechanic based on pushing fire engines into fires or off cliffs or something?

nirabazgames 2016-01-03 03:42

awesome)

gladers 2016-01-03 19:58

Fun game and great use of the theme! The addition of the mini map was nice too!

patvanmackelberg 2016-01-04 23:13

Being a firefighter myself, this game was unnerving! Very interesting though, loved the minimap view uptop and the silly firefighter ai - a great unique entry!
