  • This is definitely one of those games where you can just turn your mind off and enjoy it. Playability: The gameplay is solid. There are no bugs, no framerate issues. The objective and controls are clear from the start and the difficulty increases linearly as you get the hang of everything. I'd even argue the difficulty increases too slowly. Theme: The theme is neatly followed in this game, though very little innovation on the idea. Cleverness: There's not a lot of gameplay features that clever players could figure out to play the game more effectively, besides spamming both LMB and Spacebar, which doesn't really strike me as a gameplay feature. I would have liked to see more in this regard. Artistic Style: The style of the game is very realistic, using mostly what looks like stock grass and stone textures. There is no music in the game either, which makes the game feel a little empty. The ambience is really nice, though. I played several rounds of this game and had a lot of fun dousing the fires. Keep kicking ass!

Extra Notes
I made this game as a challenge to myself to put something together. I don't think it's a particularly amazing game, but I am happy that I was able to make something.
