Fun game. The 3d model and music is good. Good job!

Very fun game! amazing sound with a fun gameplay loop. I think it would be cool if you had an indicator of when a building was about to be destroyed.

Developer

Yeah I was working on that towards the end but couldnt find stomething to stick out infront of the particle system!

Good gameplay. Loved the style and music. Controls can be improved. Overall, had fun playing the game :D. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Yeah think thats the biggest thing to take away from this jam, I think because i tested it so much the control became second nature to me haha , I think my score shows that. Thanks for playing!

awesome art style, and gameplay! 

Submitted(+1)

Really great visual style! I loved when I accidentally drove off the island! The controls were a little too frustrating, not in a good way. I would recommend it being directional like a stick shooter, or like the van in Overcooked, if you've ever played that.

Overall really impressive game and very cute! Well done!

Really cool little game. I had a hard time turning the firetruck the right direction most of the time,  but to be fair, I've never driven a real fire truck either. Great game!

Developer

Thanks for playing , yeah I imagine its very similar to this game

Dig the art style!

Not sure if it's problem with my aspect ratio/resolution(Full HD), but camera shouldn't follow the player, or atleast show some markers when house is burning outside of view.

It fits the theme perfectly tho. Really solid game with hard controls, got confused too many times. :D

DANG YOU FIRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once you get to used to the Control the game gets really fun.

More Levels and stuff would be cool. Bigger Maps to open op stuff for PowerUps or something.

Really Nice game, nice Art.

Cheers! Yeah takes a while to get the hang off but I saw you up there getting close to my score ;). Yeah would be fun to add little extras , thank you !

The sound the models and the perfect name XD. It is a hopeless firetruck indeed. Love it

Submitted(+1)

The controls are a bit difficult, but I love the art!

Submitted

Very cute, I like how the music is so chill but the gameplay is so chaotic. Could definitely see someone mastering this and getting crazy scores!

Submitted

Really nice. You have to get used to the gameplay but the graphics are just amazing!

Love the simplistic-desaturated art style it goes well with the gameplay
Was a bit tricky in the beginning, but enjoyed it.. 

would love to see a timer on each fire.. counting down until it burns the house down. Would help the user decide which flame to put out next

Developer

YES! Haha this is what I was trying to implement last few hours before posting it but I couldn't find anything that stood out infront of the particle system, would like to get that in at somepoint though , thank you for playing!

Submitted(+1)

very good idea! I absolutelly love the art-style and sound! But sometimes the fire doesn't go out for a short time, but maybe I just didn't hit it!

Developer

Thank you , really appreciate you giving it a go , the fires work in a way that bigger fires take longer , each chunk of water knocks the fire size down by x amount until it is nothing, It can be annoying when one spawns straight after though 

Submitted(+1)

Managed to save 47 houses before I came to the conclusion that maybe they want their house to burn down.

Great game! good work

Developer

Hahah you must be up there on the leaderboards then , its quite a tough cookie to crack but once you get a rhythm you can get a few. Cheers for checking my game out I'll have a look at yours!

Submitted(+1)

Super cool game. I love the little firetruck and how it gets more and more hectic the longer you play :)

Developer

Thank you! I try to get the difficulty algorythm just right, if a house burns down you get more time and the fires only spread faster when you put more out.

Submitted(+1)

a very good game, but I would redo the mouse controls completely. And also, I almost went deaf :)

Developer

glad you took the time to play it! Yeah the controls can be a bit Clunky, I got pretty used to it after testing so many time, what would you suggest? 

Submitted(+1)

very simple control mechanics, you clamp the mouse and the machine moves in this Direction, if the mouse is pointed and clamped on fire, then foam begins to go

Developer(+1)

Yeah I see where you are coming from , would work well as a mobile game that way too!

Submitted

it's convenient not only on the phone, good luck!
