Firefighter - Action Platformer

(Vince Betteridge) #1

Welcome to Firefighter! A game where you run, jump and shoot your way around deadly fires!

Features:

  • 20 normal levels
  • 16 unlockable challenge levels
  • 100+ badges to collect
  • 4 different equipment load-outs that make the game more difficult and replayable

As mentioned in the features there will be different load-outs that unlock as you progress through the game. Not only do these load-outs make the game more difficult, they change the way you approach each level. If you are capable enough each level can be played in 4 separate ways.

This game has been many years in the making and got a little out of control due to my ambitions of making exactly the game I wanted to play. It is also the game where I learned to program and make games in general. I hope you enjoy playing it and remember that if a certain badge seems to hard to get you can always move on to the next level and come back to it later.

Specifically for FlashPunk:

I have been a pretty consistent lurker of flashpunk for years now. I developed this game in silence from the community, but I want to let you all know I appreciate all the help you have given and all of the great tools in flashpunk. I have learned so much from this project. Here is to all of you for making this possible!

I have made an update to the game fixing some problems that reviewers pointed out.

Version 1.1 update

  • made controls less slippery
  • reduced the size of the fire hitboxes to match their sprites more closely
  • made some of the jumps in the earlier levels less frustrating
  • added a new song to the challenge levels
  • added simple preloader so you can tell the game is actually loading

Let me know if you would rather me update my original post or whether a bump like this is ok.

I am back with another update to Firefighter.

Version 1.2 update

  • added medals to the game
  • added a retry button to the victory screen
  • customized the victory screen based on medals earned
  • made one jump in level 8 easier

Let me know what you think.

Really fun game. Keep it up :slight_smile:

I got stuck at the C + Down part - what are you meant to do there?

(Vince Betteridge) #6

C + Down is not necessary to complete the first twenty levels. It is a little hard to do correctly, but it will get you to the cat in the first level if you do.

It uses your water gun to boost you up into the air.

Nice game :slight_smile:

Controls are still a bit slippery to my taste. Also it would be nice if you could access additional equipment (or did I miss the way to change it?) and challenging levels sooner.

(Vince Betteridge) #9

What sort of problems are you having with the controls? Are you underestimating how far you will move on a button press?

The challenge levels are really difficult. I don’t know if you actually would want to try them without getting the badges it takes to unlock them.
