Man, that was great! The sprites and music were on point, the gameplay loop was tight, and there was even a warmup room to get comfortable with the controls! Bonus shoutout to all the little things (from highscores persisting on reloading the browser, to the short and tasteful splash screen) which elevated the game just that little bit further.

For raw fun this was one of the best entries I've played, and I can't think of any feedback that isn't nitpicky. Bloody excellent work!

Also apologies to Smokey the bear, but repeatedly setting fire to and extinguishing a patch of forest was the most effective method I could find to rake in that sweet firefighter cred. The forest may have burned down, but it was worth it for that sweet high score.

 Holy high score! I'm glad you liked the game. You've made my day with your words.

 Smokey the bear probably was also trying to get a good high score somewhere on the woods!

Fianlly go around to it! What cool sprites and awesome music. It does feel chaotic af. This is clean. Congrats.

Fun game! I definitely committed more arson than legitimate firefighting though.

What a banger of a song!

Great job man, its a really good result!

Very cool game ! Love the music and the art is simple but  effective. The gameplay was cool but a little bit too simplistic for me, I would have liked a little twist.

Submitted

Cool little game ! I did the best score spreading the fire and put it out on the same location again and again 😄Took me a minute to realise I could go between trees though  !

This was such a fun and short game! This reminded me of mobile game I played growing up :) The concept, art, and sound fit very well together. It was very fun to run around and put out fires. Fire spreading is a very smart use of the limitation. An issue I had is that sometimes I could not go back to a place I was just in, it would take a few tries to do so.

Amazing game! It's very fun running around and putting out fire and the art and music is really well done. The only problem I ran into was the fire spawning in the water, making it impossible to put out.

Submitted

The music and the very primal presence of fire create a strong sense of urgency, and they really made the situation feel dire. I also liked how the seamless screen transitions and the ability to collect water just by moving close to it fit the game so well without getting in the way of its core loop of finding fires and putting them out.

It took me a while to realize that I could catch fire too. It might also be fun to throw water on NPCs running around while on fire

I was planning on putting some NPCs running around, but i got lazy :P

Nice game! Felt satisfying to put out the fires :)

Submitted

It’s a good game concept and it’s fun to pass the time.

Submitted

Great game! Short and enjoyable :)

Submitted

I really like the game! At the start I thought that you needed to press space to fill your bucket then I realized.🙂

Submitted

I don't know why but the pixel art feels like "Realm of the mad god" in some way x) I like it !

Submitted

very good concept ! very engaging game <3

Submitted

LOVE the music and art! Concept is good but I wish there was more context with a map or a bucket fill level to get that satisfaction of hitting the water. Other than that, very enjoyable. Great work.
