LBFD - Low Budget Fire Department

Due to chairman Chuck's extreme cuts in funding for the fire department, you, a rookie fireman, will have to make do with whatever tools you can get your hands on. The city needs you as the Arsonator strikes again! So get out there and put out those fires to prove that the department deserves better! Oh, and if any expensive items mysteriously get put in the firetruck, I won't tell anyone :)


This game was made in 1 week for the Gweuble Jam! We highly recommend playing in fullscreen as some graphics and mechanics may not be as intended. Any constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated, and we hope you enjoy :)

I like the idea a lot, but the controls are almost unusable, sorry :(

(1 edit)

How are they unusable?

i can't find the area to pick up the bucket, the tooltip appears for a minuscule moment and then it's gone, then after that when i try to splash the water it goest in the opposite direction: if i'm facing the fire it goes backwards and down, if my back is towards the fire it sprays in front of me again

then i can't get the logic of scene changes, it ssems like i'm going through the tutorial but i can't understand if i'm actually doing what i'm supposed to be doing

i'm really sorry if that's not adequate from my perspective, i just couldn't actually play it :(

I'm sorry you had an issue with the controls. Might I ask what the problem was? After playtesting it works fine for me. Thanks!

It seems like we didn't make it clear enough that it is all based on the position of your mouse(e.g. hovering over the bucket to pick it up, and throwing the water towards your mouse). Thanks for trying the game out, we'll definitely note that for future projects :)

Great game! some inputs are hard to get working like refilling the bucket, i had to press E several times to refill

Hi! Glad you enjoyed :). This is currently an early build that we are actively working to update before the deadline. Thanks for letting us know about that bug, I'll make an effort to fix it soon.
