planet on fire

Planet on Fire is a game prototype I created to take part in the 2020 cologne game lab application process.

The obvious goal of the game is to stop the fires and to save as many trees as possible.

The player is in control of a small fire truck on the planet’s surface.

A small probe is continuously orbiting the planet. If both vehicles are near each other the player may swap between them in order to get a better perspective on the global fires. Caution: you might get stuck on the probe for one or two orbits …

As this game is a prototype for testing out various mechanics there are a lot of bugs, too. It might happen, depending on your hardware, that the probe gets out of range for good after a few orbits – you may have to restart at this point …

The prototype is resource hungry! Somewhat decent machines (~3Ghz) will handle fine, I guess. The better your CPU the better overall performance (Orbiter bug less likely).

If you have any ideas, thoughts, critics, please let me know!
