The world is heating up, rivers and lakes are draining and more and more forests are being destroyed by devastating forest fires.

Help your planet and take over control over clouds and wind and try to extinguish all fires to save the forest while lightnings are creating and enlargening fires.

Objectives

  • Your main objective is to extinguish all fires (to win there can't be any fire left burning).
  • The more fires you extinguish, the higher your score will be.

Rules & Explanations

  • You can change the wind direction every 30 seconds only.
  • If a tree is on fire, this fire can be extinguished by letting rain fall onto it (that's your job) . This way the tree can be saved. Once the fire has been lit for a certain amount of time, the tree will be destroyed and cannot be saved anymore (turns grey) .
  • You loose when more than 50% of the forest have been destroyed.

Control

  • Left mouse button: click and hold on the passing clouds when they are above a fire to extinguish it
  • Right mouse button: when changing wind direction is available (blue/green loading bar at top of window), hold, drag and release to change wind direction.
    • Alternative: you can also click on green "change wind" sign (when visible) in top info bar and then drag and drop for new direction. This might especially be helpful on mobile devices as there is no right mouse button there.

Note: I've changed the color of the fires from red to orange in order to make it more accessible for color blind people. Hope this helps :)

Great fun, thanks. The wind direction element is really nice - and gives an extra dimension. I felt like there could have been more clouds coming in from the width of the screen, as I ran out of clouds (or perhaps that was the idea!!) I also really like how the water falls from the full cloud that you are pressing, rather than just where the mouse is. Graphics are also really well done.

(and finally, from a personal perspective, I enjoyed the fact that the simulation looks like the same approach as I used for a school project back in the day - that was on an Amiga 500 - perhaps in AMOS I think - so it ran pretty slowly. Plenty more CPU power today!!)
