A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

My submission for GMTK game jam 2026.

THE GAME:
Giant firefighting robots are working a part-time library shift. However! Two clocks are always ticking against them - their battery charge and the *countdown* to the next wildfire, and neither job is allowed to slide!

ALWAYS! COUNTING! DOWN! ACTION! ACTION! ACTION!

CONTROLS:

  • move the robot
  • interact — serve a patron, stamp, pick up / drop a book
  • Watch your battery!
  • Watch out for fires - those arsonists and careless campers are weirdly punctual!?
