A two player game about manly firefighting. Show her your manliness because you only get one damsel in distress between the both of you!

Win the girl by carrying her down, or by doing AWESOME EPIC MANLY combo moves. There are 10! Can you complete the incomplete combos below?

1. up, up, spray!
2. down, forward, ..?.., down, spray!
3. up, down, up, spray!

4. ..?.., back, up, forward!
5. forward, forward, back, back!
6. up, back, up, forward!
7. up, up, ..?.., up, up, up!
8. 3x down, back, ..?..!
9. down, up, down!
0. down, ..?.., ..?.., back!

NOTE: forward and back are relative to the direction of the player when starting the combo. So if a player is looking to the left, forward is to the left and back is to the right.

Haha very interesting game here. And additional points for it being multiplayer. Not enough games are made with multiplayer in mind. Awesome stuff!

Co-opetition is always fun because no matter the game you're forced to compete against friends who'll make it fun.

That being said, you all have managed to create a wonderful platform for a co-opetition. The dynamic of having to sacrifice carrying the woman to safety to put out a fire and advance towards the exit is brilliant. It gives enough chances for skirmishes between who grabs her first without going too early. If anyone gets too eager and picks her up too quickly there will still be a fire ahead and they'll take damage trying to get through, brilliant!

Wonderful game! From concept to the fitting art style, to the humorous touches, it all comes together into a great experience.

Very nice graphical style. I can imagine its fun to play together/against each other. Just would have liked a bit more feedback on when my hose is dousing the fire, just to know whether the water is hitting or not.
