I liked the music a lot! Its a bit unintuitive that the fireman is the one that needs to go into the fire, and not the person. Concept is funny as well!

The Black KnightLove the concept. I also like the limited visibility- how the only light was coming from the fire and the fireman. It added a feeling of stumbling around in the dark. Maybe the people you're putting into the fire can be shielded by the darkness and you have to find them before you can put them in the fire. Game could use a fair bit of polish, an extra mechanic or two (maybe there's an obstacle that could kill Barry? Or a rival fireman that will try to save the people you're trying to put into a fire.), and perhaps a shorter runtime for each round. There's definitely more that can be done with a concept this funny. Good job and good luck on the jam results! :)

Input ReceivedIt's not a good looking game, but the stupid brain of mine laughed out loud at the premise and the simplicity of it kept me playing until the very end. It's janky, but not all that frustrating or difficult, so I was left charmed and didn't mind the presentation at all. Good one!

Moving Goalpostnot to repeat what everyone said, while the visuals are lacking, the game actually is quite fun, controls are a bit stiff but its an enjoyable experience, overall a solid entry, great work!

KHAGANATE - The Golden HordeIts a silly concept, I enjoyed it but the movement felt a bit jank, and its quite odd that you have to touch the fire to ignite a man instead of the man touching the fire, also an animation or clearer indication of you getting the person into the fire would be nice. Neat game

Havoc on the ChessboardDAAAM! Hi!
I did not expect it to be as funny as it was. Like I got 27 in score and that was by just not really understanding the concept firsthand but as I got that it was the little dude that I should put on fire, the game just elevated!
Really funny! Mostly UI critics I have to be fair, gameplay is just great but if the timer could be at the top, maybe in a better scale like minutes and seconds and the score being a bit more represented I think this is amazing!
One small and easy thing I think might elevate the game further would probably be to add an animation to the dude getting on fire and maybe pop up a +1 to give some response to the player!
All in all, good work and hope to see this idea expand!

Mist - Rethinking MagicThanks mate , yea i know about the ui . It was the last thing i did so.. ,not so great.
animation to the dude getting on fire and maybe pop up a +1 to give some response to the player! ....> was working on that , but lack of time.
i also wanted to make it accept controller. i works in the game but not with the ui . the controller makes the game better.
Ah I see!
Well, I can relate to not having enough time haha! But its really great so don't be to harsh! What did not go into the jam can be features for the game later! :D And I can understand that the game runs smoother with a controller but it was a long way from a bad experience with mouse and keyboard as well so I think you should be proud! :D
