Cool idea! I would have loved to see some kind of feedback to know when I'm hitting the fire. Trying to maintain control with the hose was a fun challenge!

Fun little game. I enjoyed playing it. At one point I forgot that I was able to walk normally because it was funnier to just fly around. I think the game would be better if I was able to see how close I was to put out a fire, but else well done :)

Dog Home Alonecute and very funny idea! i only have a small sugesstion to give some feedback when the fire is actually being hit, because i was never sure if it counted if i aimed too high at the fire. still an absolutely great game

Real Estate RescueI put all the fires out! Lol, took a little getting used to. But once you get a good method, easy peasy.
Great concept, solid sound art and programming. Keep it up!

Cosmic S.N.A.F.U.This was a blast of a game! Played it once, thought it was great and then played it again with the challenge of only using the hose to move! Should definitely add a time and make it challenge game!

HEART_ATTACKReally funny, good job guys :D I managed to extinguish all fires, but I doubt there will be many survivors :') Having AZERTY made it a little harder, but pro gamer right here!

T. Issue - A Dusty HeistVery nice game, My stupid a** took way to long to think about using the water as a propelling device.
Had a lot of fun playing and I love the background art which was very beautiful.

Stamp-O'-Matic 1000Controls felt really good, had a blast flying around! :) I could see this idea being pushed further with a nice story and a few more mechanics. Well done! :)

BugsOutOfControlGreat! I like this funny gameplay with the classic video game music.
There are some super cool equipment for firefighter like strong hose and elastic shoes,
I feel much cooler in summer.

Flask MiracleAh the fabled "Shoot to move". Movement controls are a bit funky to get used to, but a solid simple concept nonetheless. Well done

Timing TrackHoly hell this is maybe one of the most fun games i've played from this jam. At first I was like "oh ok so the player is out of control cause they can't handle the hose, not bad" but once I realized you could fly around with it? Game changer. 5/5 for sure. I do wish the hitboxes were a bit more generous since actually getting the water to hit the fires felt like a bit of a chore but that's nothing but a minuscule speck of dirt on this absolute gem of a game.

Rogue SpellsI couldn't figure out how to put out a fire but the water particles are a lot of fun to play with, the character movement is super zippy and fun too.

Key-log CatastropheThanks for the feedback! I wish we had time to add better feedback to the player when they are hitting the fire. You can use the hose to boost yourself into the air to fight the fires better! The size of the fire does go down over time and eventually it disappears, but it also makes the hit-box smaller, which I think added some unexpected difficulty.
We created all the art for this game except for the Backgrounds, which can be found on the unity asset store: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/textures-materials/free-pixel-art-hill-133118
