Wildfire: Forest Containment is a game about fighting forest fires.
This game is about using three tools to stop and contain forest fires.
* Tractors - Sacrifice a tree to prevent the spread of fires.
* Helicopters - Drop Water to douse flames
* Airplanes - Drop Fire Repellant to slow down the spread of fire.

* To fight a forest fire you create a firebreak by uprooting some trees, sacrificing healthy trees to stop the fire.
* When fighting a forest fire, sometimes firefighters make the tough decision to let one house burn to save many others
* Forest fires, though terrible, are necessary for ensuring healthy future vegetation.
* Added the high score leaderboard as a meta-wrapper.
* Made it more clear when a tree is smoking that you can't uproot it
* Added the option to skip early years when you've proven you can beat it
* Photoshop
* You can follow me on twitter @candlesan
* Timelapse of the game jam! https://youtu.be/8gNknlfvbtc
Forest fires in California have destroyed over 130,000 acres of land and claimed the lives of over 40 individuals.
