The aspect ratio in the webgl version was off and I could not start a level.
I do like how it makes you prioritize targets, but that's about it.
Thanks for the game!
It is sadly very buggy and that makes it practically impossible to play consistently, so impossible to get a full impression of the game. I met some strange behavior, for example:
- When you press SPACE to restart, the mouse cursor disappears, making you unable to choose a Level. Only reloading the page works.
- You can get a Game Over screen for no reason really. Enemies stop spawning, nobody is around and suddenly puff "game over".
- Enemies just tend to stop coming altogether sometimes. I made a screenshot: 10 enemies left on a counter and I'm just standing there with my fire in an empty room. After about a minute I stopped waiting.

I found a car breaking sound a strange choice for an audio here. You may also think of developing the theme of defending the fire (cause at the moment it could be just anything there). Like maybe some enemies drop logs that you need to throw into the fire. Maybe some enemies come with water guns or threaten to piss on your fire :wink: You know, something to make the fact that it is a fire actually matter.
Keep at it.
Some spacial sound would be good - so you could hear which direction the enemy was coming from, they kinda just jump out at you without any.
