Judge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.
- Feedback for next iteration: While broken in obvious ways, the basic game works okay. It will be important to organically teach players the controls in your final build. One judge really liked the re-purposing of the gun into a water gun; the pacifistic message of the game comes through in details like this.
- I loved this variation on a shooter. You're not shooting people or robots, you're shooting water at fires! I would have liked to see the game examine some of the more nuanced, complicated aspects of fire. For instance, native people traditionally used fire to make the forest healthier. Very well-crafted, and obviously a lot of work went into it.

A lot was accomplished here- I will keep an eye out for the full NEWT game! Introduces an interesting world with lots of strange characters, and explores interesting game mechanics. Thanks for being part of Otter Jam 2021!
Incredible. Can't wait to see where this goes!
