Take Care of Little Fellas

Fun little game, reminds me a lot of your classic "aim trainer" type games. Managed to get perfect score first try.

My main feedback would be that I feel the game lacked depth, and more mechanics or actions would have added a lot to the game.

But overall, well done :)

Nice game. It starts off pretty dull but gets quite tense when things ramp up and you have to jump straight from one house to the next. I'm not sure about the limited water mechanic though. It just means there's an arbitrary wall to how far you can get in the game. Perhaps there could be a water tower or something you could click to refill water, then you would be forced to swap between refilling water and putting out houses. That aside, the music and graphics are pretty nice.

I think the "the faster you are the less water you need to put out the fire" mechanic needs some tuning, somehow I got 100 points and I am not great at aiming xD

At first glance, this game seemed underwhelming to me. But playing it acutally got my heart somewhat pumping, because I was doing so good at the beginning, realized that I actually was still at a perfect score some time in, then the fires got faster and I got really afraid I would lose my perfect streak :D In the end, I managed to get the 100 points, but I had a suprising amount of fun with thsi game! Well done :)

The art is not so great, even for a jam game, I think, so a little more time of the jam used for art assets would be nice. But then again, I almost always waste way too much time on the art, so...maybe don't listen to me xD Oh and I liked the music! And the sound effects...I wasn't aware of jfxr, only bfxr. But jfxr, with some tweaking the sounds, is way more suitable for non-pixel games, so thank you for that discovery! :D

Looks a lot like a ludum dare game with "little" slapped in the title to match (no pun intended) GM48's theme. I was really hoping to manage some kind of life inside a matchbox too :(

I mean, you could argue that the town is inside the matchbox, but that itsn't even clear with the inside of the box looking nothing like the town.

Gameplay was similar to an aim trainer. After this, I felt I could hop on for a round of counter strike!

I do like the cover art. Felt it would be taking care of a town inside a matchbox like in a simulator. I think it'd have been nice to incorporate more of the matchbox in game as I didn't realise until after that the small houses were inside the box. Dangerous place to be setting fire to your homes!

Water sound was oddly satisfying.

Liked the cover art, would have liked to see this style and theme carry over into the game more than it does. Pleasing water sound :)

Perfect run on first try, game wasn't that hard and second time I let them burn. Nothing much to say as others have already stated ^^

I kinda feel like they're setting their houses on fire on purpose. I did get a perfect score on my first try, but I guess I'm just really really good at Take Care of Little Fellas. I thought the music was alright. Kind of annoying that it didn't loop properly in the menu, but during the game, it did its job. I liked that the difficulty wasn't linear (I mean, it probably was) but it was nice that it did get harder, as time went on. The sprite work was good, but I wish it was stylistically homogenous, rather than the particles having their own style. In any case, it was a good time.

The music keeps you in suspense as the gameplay accelerates! Would love if the score was affected by how quickly you managed to put out the fires. This game could also benefit from an "endless" mode where it just keeps getting faster until a house burns down or something. An alternative take on whack-a-mole! Had fun playing it!

pretty easy game! I got 100 on my first try. I really enjoyed the water drop sfx. something about it deeply pleased me

I scored 98 and then 100 on my first two attempts. I think 100 might be the top score? It's definitely not my lightning reflexes, so you could consider increasing the difficulty a bit. But I like games I can win at.

The title screen art was really cool. The game art was more functional - would have liked to see that in the same style.

Loved the filthy bass in the music.

Really loved the cover art, thought it would lead to a game about small insects or something inside of a matchbox, so I was a bit confused when it was houses.

Would love to have seen more story and more gameplay mechanics. keep up the hard work! Looking forward to your next entry.
