Fire Fight by Xitavos

[raw]
made by Xitavos for LD33 (JAM)
One day after work you come home to find your house on fire and your wife dead. You decide to take your anger out on the city Fire Service, gathering fire crystals and transforming into an angry red monster.

Controls:
- WASD to move
- Left Ctrl to shoot fireball
- Left and right arrow keys to punch
- Destroy the objects on the footpath for extra fire
- Get to 50 fire to enrage and transform into a monster that does twice as much damage

There is an intro, a main level and a boss level.

The boss fight is trivially easy-- I don't think I took a single hit. Turning into a demon was kind of underwhelming because the bar depleted too quickly. But the game is actually pretty funny, and the music is hilarious.

There's no challenge. I can just stop moving and hit the firefighters and... Art was good tho.

Pretty good! But sometimes I wasn't punching or shooting fireballs and it wasn't clear why. But the basic gameplay is good and I loved the graphics!

The game crashed after a couple of seconds and I had to restart and watch the comics (which are great btw) again. Then it crashed again :( Stacktrace:

I liked the graphics and music a lot (the intro is fantastic!)
Had fun, but it was on the easy side for me. The punching controls needed some more polish.
Good job!

In no other game have I been able to fight with boxes of puppies and kittens. You win. :D
