For a simple looking game, there are an impressive amount of mechanics involved. Take advantage of the early levels to get accustomed to them all, because the difficulty level escalates, fast. And I mean "Oop my hose is hooked let me just quickly go back and OH GOD this fire is out of control why won't it stop oh god I'm on fire".

About This Game
You're a rookie firefighter battling blazes around town... the perfect cover to steal valuable loot.
- Use a variety of water sources to tackle the fire, with limited water and hose lengths.
- Rescue citizens trapped by the fire.
- Attempt to steal special items on each map without letting the fire get out of control.
- Purposely spread the fire to distract and destroy.
- Avoid police and other firefighters as you escape with the loot.
Bring On The Water
- Grab a hose from any fire truck or fire hydrant.
- Watch you don't wrap your hose around too many objects or the hose will feel a lot shorter than it is.
- Vary your water pressure to arc the stream over objects.
- Choose when to use precious water and when to let things burn.
Flame or Fortune?
- Each level has five objects to steal and sell.
- Some loot can only be reached by first burning objects in the way.
- You have no pockets. Just two hands and room on your back.
- Heavy loot will remove your ability to jump over obstacles.
Hero and Villain
- Once loot is stolen all police and firefighters will be hostile until you can sell it.
- The fire can be harnessed to create distractions and burn a path out of danger.

Best to wait for now and see if the developer sorts out a few major problems. -Fire can spread too fast to be put out. In fact, this makes it about impossible to steal everything from the 3rd level, Mechanic, because the fire will burn what you need to steal. -There's a thing where you can wet stuff down to slow the spread of fire, but things dry up way too fast for it to matter. -The visual cones for people detecting you is deceiving. If you're near that cone they'll instantly turn towards you if you're carrying something (tested this on the arcade level and it happens without fail every time). I'm assuming either the cone isn't visually wide enough or the range they can see is wider than intended. -If you pick up an item and drop it you can still get arrested, even if you dropped the item on the other side of the map. -Can break through walls, but not doors. These issues alone make the game more of an irritating chore to play than fun, and if the price was higher I would have refun...
