Great concept! Great Puzzles! Great art! But wow my ears are ringing
4.5/5
Aha thank you, I'm sorry about the sound 馃槀
Cool idea! I definitely finished wanted more which is a great sign. Sound could use some variation as hearing the same exact effect repeat could be grating. I would love to see more levels after the jam is over
Thanks! Yea sound was a bit of a last minute addition, in a post-jam version ill vary it
A good prototype ! the art is very nice. It has potential, you should do an iteration if you have the time.
Thanks! Yea definitely planning on doing a post-jam version
Great concept!
Thanks!
Fire spreading mechanic is super cool! And the way the moving stone blocks the fire spread is making the puzzle super interesting!
Thank you, im glad you found it cool!
couldn't agree more!
Wow, I really liked this idea, and you managed to put it good use with your level design. I wish you had time to make some more levels because I am hungry for more! I noticed some layering issues with some sprites, but otherwise the presentation is great!
Thank you, aha I wish I did too! If you want more Im probably gonna make a post-jam version with more mechanics and puzzles. Oh no! what sprite was it?
Neat concept, sadly a bit lacking in content!
The combination of turn-based puzzling plus real-time obstacles felt very out of place to me - it would be more interesting if the puzzles also moved with time, since the real time "puzzles" were mainly just waiting for them to be in the right place, rather than me having to think ahead about where I want them.
Well done, though, especially for a first jam! Also really happy to see a volume slider, since the game was too loud for me. I feel the wildfire also adheres to the theme really well! I would've liked to see a bit more creative level design with tunnels and maybe more things that interacted with fire - but I understand time constraints are what they are, especially when you're figuring stuff out in a first time jam.
The web player defaulted to a much to small size to see the game, by the way - I had to fullscreen to see the game. Might be some setting you have to adjust.
Thanks! Fair enough, in a post-jam version ill probably add turn based puzzles too. I wanted there to be a mix of real and turnbased but the execution isnt the best :'D
Yea tunnels and burnable objects were ideas just had no time :(
Yea its because the games native size is only 320x180 and itch uses it bu the game resizes using the thing in the bottom right.
Nice mix of puzzling as well as real time obstacles. Quite short but one of my favourite games!
Thank you im glad you like it so much, yea its my first jam so I over-scoped a lot but post-jam version will have many more levels and challenges
This was my first jam too so I understand lol. Good luck on the development of your game :)
Thanks, you too!
Fun little game, just a shame it was so short. Keep up the good work 馃憤
Thank you!
A few more levels and this game would have been my jam favourite! :'(((
Awesome Game Dude!
Thanks so much! I wish I could have made more too.
I will definitely be making more levels for a post-jam version.
I am looking forward to it! :D
It's a shame that there were so few levels cause the gimmick s quite nice. Maybe try and make levels that exploit the puzzle aspect more, because right now there are quite a few routes that work. Could add some extra mechanics like water hoses as well to walk back on your track or smth. Definitely some postjam expansion material here. It fits the theme decently enough
Thanks for playing :) I had ideas for a bucket that you can use to extinguish some fire to help you but unfortunately I didnt have time! So much more stuff I want to add to the post-jam version.
All I could think was "give me more levels!"
Also, I think it would be super helpful to have a preview of what tiles are going to catch fire next, maybe with a fire glow effect. I know this used some kind of flood algorithm but it was still a little difficult to predict where the fire would be next while also dodging big stones. Overall very nice little game!
Aha Im glad that you found it fun! I stupidly tried to make my own rather than a pre-existing algorithm. Thats definitely a good idea, that i will add to a post-jam version
No I think your code works very well. You basically reinvented the wheel which is impressive in its own right.
Wow thank you! Although in any level bigger than the jam ones, I think the current fire algorithm would tank the game as it spawns multiple fire tiles on-top of each other.
You could make the fires come from an emitter with set health and make the all the particles actual particles if they aren't already. That would fix any performance issues I think.
Interesting idea! My plan was to change it so the player spawns a start point and then that instantiated fire uses a real flooding algorithm to fill the room turn by turn. And no the fire is just sprites with an idle animation.
Actually what you just said is way better than my idea!
Aha its all theory though, need to see if I could actually implement it!
Definitely a lot of potential! I like how you combined real time elements with turn based elements, that was a lot of fun. I wish I could just hold down an arrow to move from tile to tile quicker. I loved the fire animation that played.
Thank you! Unfortunately I had to make it like that so you didnt die as you move or let you move so fast you cant pick up the keys. IN a post-jam version i could definitely fix that.
I think there's a lot of potential here with an interesting concept and some nice visuals! My only criticism really is that the real-time obstacles don't interact well with the turn-based movement and fire spreading. I can always stop and take my time as the fire won't catch up. To fix this, I think the obstacles should be turn based too, and would allow more interesting puzzle design. (Alternatively, real-time fire spread would work too and make the game more intense --- so the fire spreads behind the player and ticks into neighbouring cells every second, for example.).
I was looking forward to playing more levels when I finished, which is a great sign. Nice work!
Thank you, Im glad you enjoyed the game :) Thats fair, I will definitely look at turn based obstacles too in my post-jam version. Thanks again!
Not bad! The clicking got a little annoying the longer I played, but I really enjoyed the concept! The difficulty ramped up fast!
Thank you :) Yea wast the best implementation of sounds in unity but I wanted to have something in at least
Totally makes sense. I got music in my game last minute, but we ignored sound fx entirely due to time.
Short and polished with a creative concept to boot—what's not to love? The fire sfx got a bit loud once it started to fill the room (maybe that was just me), but otherwise, great job.
Aw thank you so much! :) Yea it increases with the number of fire tiles but I didn't have time to fix the max volume.
Loved the concept, although after a few moments, I never really felt like I was in danger, but with more time to iteratre on puzzle design, this could be fire.
Thanks, Im glad! Yea with more levels and mechanics I can make definitely it more challenging. Aha thanks :)
Nice short and sweet puzzler, I feel like this concept could go to a lot of places in a longer game. I enjoyed it a lot!
Im glad you found it fun! :) Yea with more that 48hrs I think I can add a lot more! Already started on a post-jam version!
really good start. the concept is very original and it has a lot of potential.
Thank you! :)
Interesting concept, with more mechanics and levels, it could be really amazing.
Thank you! Yea this is my first jam so i wasted a lot of time on stuff that I didn't implement. Will definitely make a post-jam version with more levels and mechanics.
