I love the concept and it is executed on in a very polished manner. Well done! I agree with the others that say it is too difficult, but I'd love to see MORE of this.

Thank you! Yeah, I have to keep in mind that as the dev my easy-mode may be very-hard-mode to other players. Glad you're liking it so far, Thank you for playing!

I gotta be honest. At first I really didnt like the controls, and thought the game was too hard. But something made me want to come back and try again and again. The gameplay  has a few balancing problems and the movement could be tighter, but there is a lot of charm to the game. Its incredible for a first Jam submission! Please keep making games!

Controls and balance are a bit loose, I agree.  I'm glad you kept coming back and found charm in the game :) Thank you for playing and the encouragement!

Thank you so much! I absolutely agree, level  1 is way too much for players just starting out.  I realize that perhaps some more guidance would be necessary before throwing players into the fight, especially while they are still learning to fly.  Was there anything in particular that sticks out to you that made it difficult? I can think of many flaws, but I can't  just assume :D

In the beginning it took a while to figure out that I could fly, I was just jumping around. Then I started to put out the fire, but didn't pay too much attention to the boss, when I started really fighting the boss it was really difficult to control all the fire in the map and damage the boss at the same time. In the end I only discovered that I need to protect the houses when I lost the level.

Your feedback is in line with some of the concerns I had when wrapping up the project. Thank you for the confirmation! I had added the "How To Play" section much to my disliking, due to time constraints.  It was very likely that it may be overlooked by the player or the information within would be overwhelming/easily forgotten. The map design itself could have gone with more playtesting, once those fires ignite it's easy to lose track/pace. Also making the fail state more clear is something that needs to be addressed. I will take these concerns into consideration and adjust accordingly. Thank you for the valuable feedback, and more so, Thank you for playing!

Great game. The controls took a minute to adapt to but quickly became part of the charm. I extinguished the bird but only saved one house in town, whoops :).

I'm glad you found the controls charming :) I was afraid they may be too confusing seeing as the player is just thrown in like that. Giving the player a little time to warm up before the showdown is something I should certainly implement, being that the controls have a different feel than most players would be used to. I've been getting that the game is a bit more difficult to players than I had anticipated, especially starting at level 1. Easily something that can be resolved. Thank you so much for the feedback, much appreciated!

Thank you so much! I was planning on expanding on what I've built so far.  It was good practice for implementing some of the necessary elements for a larger project. I have a lot more Ideas I'd love to play around with :)
