Fireproof

Game da

Fireproof is a short platformer about memories, burning things and starting a new life. Objective: Collect the green dot to advance to the next level. Some levels may require a bit of patience to complete. (Bul all are solvable!) Controls: LEFT/RIGHT for movement, UP to jump (UP in midair to double jump), DOWN in midair to stomp (mostly useless) VIDEO WALKTHROUGH available from https://goo.gl/o0iGcQ This game is a persistent little bugger, which, if nothing else, resonates with the game's admittedly clumsy metaphor. I started making Fireproof in GameMaker in 2009, inspired in equal measure by Braid, Gregory Weir's Silent Conversation, and the realization one didn't have to be an artist to make a playable game. I abandoned the game halfway through level 5. I then returned to it in 2012, porting it to Stencyl (which I was trying to learn) and grinding out eight and a half further levels at an ever slowing pace before abandoning the game completely for the second time -- with only two levels to go. In March 2016, I accidentally discovered Fireproof on a computer I was no longer regularly using and decided to make myself finish it as part of a larger plan to make myself start finishing things. And so, there it is. Hope you enjoy it.
