I really enjoyed the aesthetic and the game. GJ!

Hey! The mechanics are great. I suggest you to remap all the controls, the ergonomy isn't really great. Maybe it would be better for a controller. Anyway, great idea and I hope my comments will help you.

Had a lot of fun with this one! It's funny how aggressive shooting the water at the fire feels

I love the controller of the airplane.Press ↓ to uplift is approprite for airplane controller. And it is reaaaaaaally juicy! Tha graphics is pretty nice.

Great visuals and liked the audio, just wished it was a little bit easier to see where your "ammo" would drop, but that might just be part of the difficulty Good job!

What fun controls to use! I'm always kind of worried about airplane games, because the controls are always complicated, but this one was so simple to fly and do the maneuvers, I loved it! And the mechanics of throwing the plane into the lake to put out its fire is super fun, and gives the game a sense of urgency.

I didn't use the bombs much, because the fires always started when I was close to finishing the levels.

I think just using shift to shoot is kind of complicated for windows users, I think it would be nice to use the spacebar, or even the mouse.

The music was very fun, although serious, it matched the game.

The instruction screen was a little too loaded, and the colors didn't match very well, and whenever I started a new level the screen appeared, I think you could put it on a pause screen with ESC.

Congratulations!

And this feedback helped you, don't forget to leave a "<3"

Great visuals and audio, I like the floating UI over the houses. I like the creativity behind a shooter that's less violent, as well as the idea of flying into the water to restock and douse the fire is another great. Good job!

This was very splendid. I managed to cheat it by camping in the corner :) I totally love how the fires spread from the burning plane, and totally dig the refill mechanic. Love the clean graphics. Plans to continue working on this?

Thank you for the great feedback. I wanted to put a few changes after the jam is over using the feedback provided. I am feeling a bit motivated with some of the comments to perhaps try to polish it a bit more just for the challenge and build something more tightly designed with the approach and controllers. The time flew so I was not able to implement many of the ideas and had to compromise a lot but that is what makes these jams so fun :D. I will make sure to go rate your games tonight, I really appreciate the rate and comments.

I really enjoyed playing this game. The flying mechanics and dropping water bombs is great, and the graphics are very cute ;).

However, it needs some improvements in my opinion: -better control instructions, -raising the difficulty level. Maybe make the fire spread from a few directions, -maybe a pause button.

Other than that, the game is great. Keep it up :D

it was a lot of fun. As mentioned before, controls are a bit uncomfortable but I've seen them in games before. Nice art and sounds and pretty fun!

studiocherno 2022-04-07 04:02

Great game! Great Art style audio! The only feedback I can give is to possibly slow the player down while he's turning , as that would make controlling him easier! Overall great and fun game!

Very fun game, pretty hard though. Cant beat 3rd level :) Really like the music

dans17 2022-04-07 19:54

This was fun to play! I particularly liked the refill mechanic of diving into the water. I think the controls were a little too unintuitive though, but without them it would have been too easy. I also found that the easiest way to beat the levels was to focus on splashing the buildings right way and not worrying about the spreading fire, so maybe increasing the spread of the fire and adding easier controls would balance the difficulty well.

Had a lot of fun to playing this game! Thanks for multiple levels, not just one. Shift key is not the best for frequent clicks on windows.

Here is my playthrough:

Cool game. Enjoyed the flying!

It's a bit strange that you could save a house by spraying water on it. At first I didn't realize that was the goal and I just tries to put out the fire. :D Aiming is quite hard. Maybe the hitbox of the houses should be a bit bigger.

Good game though! Had fun :)

A simple idea with great execution. It handles well and it's quite fun (although my depth perception fails me even with the shadows).

nice game, thank you.
