The audio here is fantastic. The guitar is very peaceful and calming, which contrasts really well with the fact that everything is literally on fire. It's basically a pixel art version of the "this is fine" meme -- complete with burning animals.

The controls, as several have mentioned, are a bit clunky. They obviously also cause some of the issues you've mentioned on the game's main page, like scenario 2. The concept is definitely there, though. It certainly fits the theme, as you described it; managing a team of firefighters in an actual emergency is not supposed to be easy and go well. I'm sure with just a bit more time, you can bring the control scheme from overly punishing to pleasantly challenging.

I'm really pleased to see the options to pause or turn off the scanlines for people that might find that difficult to deal with. It's a nice touch and probably will earn you brownie points from GMTK who always advise for adding accessibility options when able.

Also, bird screeches on point. I can really appreciate kitschy voice acting!

thank you! you're the first person to mention being able to turn the scanlines off lol, i'm glad you appreciated it. it's not the most intense effect, but i did want to make sure everything was comfortable for folks with photosensitivity or who just didn't like the look of it haha

and yes. kitsch va gang rise up
