Very cool idea!!! This is really fun to play. I like the fact that you can a lot in this small game. The graphics and music fits very well!

Very polished. Nice graphics and a very nice tutorial!

Cool concept! Now I understand how starting a fire can be used to suppress wildfires xD Loved the range and spread of the flamethrower and water spray, made me have to use tacticaly my positioning. Congratz!

I think the controls could have been improved a bit, like "holding down shift" and mouse click would shoot fire/water. I found myself a few times just driving around a small tree. :smile:
I enjoyed the audio and the game idea was cool. I got until level 4, and when I failed, I would have liked to play that level again, but I was booted all the way back to level 1.

Its a bit unclear how far the water reaches and if a tree is getting extinguished but it was really fun nonetheless

Quite a fun and polished game once I got used to the controls.

Interesting mechanic and quite funny that the fire engine burns trees. The controls felt good, looked like the whole game took place on top of grass block in minecraft ;) - It was fun and quick!

I love graphics used in this game, and I am really impressed how much fun you can have on this small area. Good job!

Nice concept realized with appealing graphic.
If I had to say something, well, you could work on truck movement better: I feel uneasyness moving among trees

Nice and original concept, love the low poly graphics. The tutorial is a nice addition too. Good job !

It has clear objectives, an excellent tutorial and manages to excite!

Cool game with a nice concept. It is really fun to play, but as someone already mentioned, movement is not really easy.

*Good*:
-> Game is nice, I liked the idea and theme usage. Nice simple graphics, helpful tutorial. Gameplay is fun.
*Minor issues*:
-> Controls, however, could get some more love as vehicle driving is somewhat hard among the trees and the curves it tries to do. Also is not exactly clear what is the fire and water jet range/area.
Overall is a fun game, congratulations on your entry!

Not too much innovative and unstable, however it was very fun.

Nice game, with a really thought out tutorial.

Satysfying game. And a pretty challenging one. Love the particles and the way you made the movement. Also the concept is cool!

No the prodigy soundtrack, 0/10.
For real though, it's a nice game! Unique concept, nice low-poly aesthetics, well polished tutorial and gameplay. My only critique is that there could be more visual feedback do distinguish trees that are incubated or in the process of being incubated, as well as which trees are hit by the water/fire.

it's a very cool idea, especially the flamethrower fire engine, although some of the graphics weren't extremely clear, especially the fire and water
