My hair is on fire!

Enjoyable but suffers from the enemies getting bunched up so the challenge doesn't increase.

Argh! My Hair Is On Fire!

Rofl that's quite funny. Enemy stacking is a bit annoying as it means if you collide with the stack, you instantly die. Still a solid entry; well done.

Pretty nice, though being slowed down the more damage you take is not very fun. :( Also, I don't really see what it has to do with the theme.

I couldn't get to one of my buckets because it was out of the movable range :(

bushmango29 Apr 2013, 14:11

Oh wait, that was just me trying to pick up one of the buckets in the "bucket-o-meter", lol

It's pretty good, simple and unexpected.

The moment I saw it's name and the attached screenshot I knew this was going to be fun. And it was! xD

very funny game!

Simpel, fun, and addictive game. I ended up with four buckets after a few times.

erdos30 Apr 2013, 09:37

The game is pretty simple but the music and sprites and premise make it awesome

GingerMess30 Apr 2013, 10:17

Augh, my hair is on fire!

This becomes particularly amusing when you figure "if I take all the flames at once, I can clear the level and just get the bucket. Can't fail!" But then you hear

AAAAAUUUUGGGGGHHHH MMMMYYYY HHAAAIIIRRR IIIISSSS OONNNNN FFFFFIIIREEEEE

and you die. Marvellous.

Little note for next time: you mustn't download sounds from anywhere. You must create all content within the 48 hours (read the rules).

Thanks you guys.
The only downloaded sounds I used were the free synth samples used to make the song. I thought it would be alright if I made the song myself. Everything else is all mine.
