A really hard game that raises your anxiety (in a good way) when trying to save as many buildings as you can and not cause an even worse disaster than what the historical tragedy already was. A game that challenges you to use your brains and attention span to control three trucks at the same time.
Controlling is really hard and a short tutorial would have been nice, the slowness of the firetrucks had me screaming internally, but that's probably just a skill issue on my part :D This could be a fun party game where friend groups compete over the best score!

While I might somehow burned Turku even worse than it was in real life, it was not for trying. The gameplay loop of commanding your little firefighters is really good and the game is fittingly tense. Some tutorialization might have been good, but otherwise you have really strong game here. Bonus points for including the notes on the actual historical background!
There were still quite a few things we were hoping to add but sadly, time exists :((((
A tutorial or a little message to explain would definitely have been nice! We resorted to just adding to the description. We also wanted to widen the river to make it easier to click and to show a comparison to the real city. Maybe we'll do it later... Or sleep!
