Took a while to figure out how to move the firefighters and they would just disappear at times lost 3 of them (did they burn?) A tutorial would have helped a lot (I know it is difficult to find that into a jam time frame, rarely do it myself)
Once I got used to the controls the game went pretty well and I really enjoyed the art and music.
The houses burning was a little strange as the firefighters did not want to put them out only the fire squares. Also would have been nice if the firefighter could have some automation... maybe a chief to direct them or something :)
Fun submission I was thinking about doing one about fire, although my was going to be you want the fire to consume... what does that say about me :P
