Burning Down - Firefighter Simulator DEMO Walkthrough

(1 edit)

Dang. I suck at this game or the fire is purposely just spreading way too fast.

The gameplay of the game is really hard but with some balancing, I can see a whole lot of potential coming with this game. 

Keep at it!

I downloaded the game but I need help passing the first level. I can only get to the second door before the house burns down. I've tried not putting out the fire, not rescuing the man, laying down foam etc. It all leads to same result. Also, can I move furniture or only destroy them? How do refill your foam?

I've been told it's kinda hard! With some tutorial levels and tightening the screw with the easy difficulty I think it will get better! Hopefully in next update! Thanks for the feedback, shadree!!

Furniture can be moved with water or destroyed, and foam can't be refilled normally, only with fire extinguishers!

I have been binge playing all you games and been wondering if you been working on some big game? 
Also I love the way you make bosses and you would make a great boss rush/ fighter game! Just an idea though!

Hah, thanks! I want to do something akin to that one day, probably kind of based in Furi's gameplay, i love parry heavy stuff!

Also, yes! a sequel to Trail Of Pigs! you can follow some of the progress on my twitter, if you want!

Very cool game!

I find it also too difficult right now which is a pity because the mechanics are so much fun. The fire spreading is nicely done. The art is unique. The radio feedback makes the game feel alive. The decision between firefighting and rescuing is fun. Keep up the good work!
I have just been finishing a firefighting game that focuses on forest fires: https://mabafu.itch.io/firerescue

I find it quite hard the levels to beat while playing them several times. Time is very quickly pass way even when i had destroy many fires. I think that the fire bar must be relevant how many fires exist / vanished (increasing/decreasing) and/or how big they are.  

Damn! 

Were you rescuing people?

In any case, you can flip the fire bar to easy in  the main menu, that could help! I know it's a hard game, so don't take it wrong, hahahah

I think I might be tuning the levels too tightly so someone who would know the game too well would have fun (i.e. me), but this isn't good for someone starting out

I will find a way to lower the difficulty a bit to have a "normal" difficulty later though this will probably come in later on, when all levels are done! (hard to do otherwise)

This demo is really cool, but I have a concern with the foam, that being that I never have enough to clear all of the burnt walls, meaning that I couldn't beat the levels with burnt walls

(+1)

I didn't tutorialize this properly! They can be put away with the right click, after a bit, though I know it feels a bit non logical.

(the idea is to always give you the choice of taking some time to stop the burnt walls from starting the fire again, or continue into the building to save people, while also making the fire more spread out and give it chance to start again)

I need to find a more intuitive way to show this, noting it for later!

Ok, thanks!

It looks awesome and wanted to play it the moment I saw the screenshot in twitter. However, I am not sure if I am really bad playing it or it is too hard but couldn't save the first baby, tried it multiple times (had to close the app and reopen btw (didn't read the controls xD)), and always it was like trying to solve a puzzle by having luck, some times the furniture didn't fall or I fell before the furniture and couldn't jump back to save the baby, etc. It was really hard for me. Loved the art, the concept of the game and its mechanics.

Ok, tried it again in the suggested level order and the difficulty is better.

UPDATE: played it again multiple times and tried other levels, like saving the cat level, and now I know I can super jump, I tried to discover the special jump before but didn't work, then after the level I see it is in a special direction, so I get it now that I don't need to jump on the furniture xD, stupid first review!

Hola Ariel!!! Hi!

This is all incredibly valuable feedbck, thank you so much!!!

Don't beat yourself over having difficulties with the game, as it badly needs tutorials, and a slower introduction to the mechanics. It's the next thing i'll try to have done!

That cat level is missing a tooltip that should tell you how to use the super jump. Oops.

Now the levels are presented in order, with some options to ease the first pains, hahahah

Gracias por probr che!!!
