Intro:

The fires have gone renegade! Once our greatest ally, the element itself has turned against us, with conflagrations now a part of daily life. Can your intrepid squad of firefighters possibly keep up?!

Instructions:

This is a unit micromanagement game about running around and putting out fires to save various towns.

• Put out all fires to beat the level
• Click firefighter to select
• Right click on a tile to move firefighter
• Move a firefighter to a tile that is on fire to put it out You have to right click the tile, not the building)
• Once a tile has been put out, it will stay out for a short time
• A and D keys to rotate camera around map

Postmortem

The original plan was for the firefighters to persist between levels with bonuses granted based on which buildings were saved. That way, you’d have to pick which buildings to save and which to sacrifice. We also wanted you to sometimes have to sacrifice some of your guys to to win, for an extra layer of themeness. Of course, for that to matter we needed levels, and for that a level editor (note: we did not actually really probably need a level editor), so we ran out of time. We might work on it a bit more and add in some of the depth we never got around to.
