Welcome to Ember Grove!

It's wildfire season here in Ember Grove, so think fast and use your resources efficiently to contain and put out the fire. See how high of a score you can get by saving as many tiles as possible!

This game was made in 2 weeks for LOWREZJAM 2023. All art and audio assets were created by me.

How to Play

  • Click a tile to open the item menu. The menu shows how many of each item you have left. Click an item to place it.
  • Water Teams douse all surrounding fires with water, but take some time to put fires out. Click a placed water team to pick it up and use it somewhere else.
  • Firebreaks prevent the space they're placed on from catching fire. However, they also deduct that tile's points from your final score and cannot be moved.
  • Aerial Attacks dump water on a single tile, immediately extinguishing it if it's on fire.
  • Fire spreads quickly, but doesn't immediately burn tiles until it grows large enough.
  • After a fire is put out by a Water Team or an Aerial Attack, the tile remains temporarily wet and protected from catching fire again.

That's pretty fun. Here's my high score: 

This is a really interesting concept for an RTS. If your planning on expanding this game at all, I'd love to play it on a larger map with more unit types. Can't wait for the devlog!
