Comments for Fire Jumpers

Middle button does nothing :)

It can definitely be challenging, just like a real wildfire! :)

Lol, if they could only throw money at my latest and greatest version called FireJumpersPRO. You can try it online at www.firejumperspro.ca/pro/ . It's a training tool for agencies that uses the latest GIS data from landfire.gov website to create maps of real locations with accurate data, from elevation, vegetation types and fuel bed types for amazing accurate fire burns. Anyway, it's cool, you should check it out!

К сожалению, не хватает слов для меня, чтобы перевести должным образом с помощью Google Translate. Не могли бы вы быть более конкретным, спасибо!

They're called spot fires, when the embers of the fire blows over the fire line. Frustrating.. just like real life! ;)

The Cut Team is very useful if used properly. Cut team should mainly be used to cut grassy terrain (light green) and bushes (medium green). You should try to avoid cutting through dense trees (dark green) and they are very very slow cutting trees down. See, each terrain type effects units differently, from cutting to spraying water. Grassy terrain burns faster than trees, but is easier to extinguish with water. All about game balance! :)

I could increase the effectiveness of the units, but then I'd have to make the fire faster. It's all about game balance, which is quite tricky considering that the fire burns randomly each time! If you liked this version, you may also like FireJumpers Sandbox, a cooperative multiplayer version. You can it online at www.firejumperspro.ca/sandbox/

Cutting a fire line is not a 100%, the fire can produce spot fires, basically embers that jump the fire line. It's all part of the strategy! ;)

Thanks Agavin, happy to hear you're enjoying the game! Got a brand new version called FireJumpersPRO which you can try at www.firejumperspro.ca. The PRO version is specifically designed as a wildland firefighting training tool for wildfire agencies. So maybe not as easy as this version, but if you're looking for something a little more.. complicated, in-depth, then you'll enjoy PRO!

There's two new versions you can try right now. There's FireJumpers Sandbox which you can play either on your mobile device or online at www.firejumperspro.ca/sandbox/ and there's my latest wildfire agency training tool called FireJumpersPRO which you can try at www.firejumperspro.ca. There's more info on my facebook.com/firejumpers/ page.

yes, there are times when the server is down, but it's usually only for about 10min

Long Island can be tricky! I use the helicopter to bring my cut team to the south part of the fire. The cut team starts near the bottom of the trees and cut east and then up and around the trees going north. At the same time, I have my hose team start to run along the road for extra speed while the helicopter does a few water drops to the north of the fire to make sure it doesn't burn any buildings. Buildings that are destroyed is the worst for your score. After a few drops, and the hose team gets closer, I use my helicopter to then transport my hose team also to the south, to cover the gap between the ocean edge and the start of the fire line the cut team did. Also, don't waste dropping water on trees(dark green terrain), it's much harder to extinguish than the bushes (lighter green). Try to stop the fire either before it reaches the trees or just after it's done burning through the trees. So basically concentrate your water drops/spray to bushes. Hope that helps!

Thanks Accatitippi for your kind words. This is my original version I built about 4yrs ago. Check out my recent version called FireJumpers Sandbox, which is cooperative multiplayer! Not so much a game with rules and scoring. Instead, you customize your own scenarios by choosing a map, placing your own units, setting starting fire locations and updating wind speed and direction. You can play online at http://www.firejumperspro.ca/sandbox/ or play it on your iPhone or Android. :) If interested, follow me on Facebook to see sneak peaks of my upcoming version called FireJumperPRO - Tactical Decision Training, which will be a training tool for wildfire fighting agencies. www.facebook.com/firejumpers/

Thanks, much appreciated! If you like this single player version, you may want to check out my latest cooperative multiplayer version called FireJumpers Sandbox. You can play online at http://www.firejumperspro.ca/sandbox/ or play it on your iPhone or Android. :)

Thx Strix, you should check out FireJumpers Sandbox, my latest cooperative multiplayer version. You can play online at http://www.firejumperspro.ca/sandbox/ or play it on your iPhone or Android. :)

On the Hawaii level, there is one civilian near the top of the volcano. Did you move that civilian to a safe location? There might be an issue with this version 1.4. My mobile version is 1.4.6. It's been over a year since I've updated this game. Though if you like this, check out my cooperative multiplayer version called FireJumpers Sandbox at www.firejumperspro.ca/sandbox/

You're in luck! Check out my cooperative multiplayer version called FireJumpers Sandbox! I recently added elevation and now with the improved Map Editor in game, you can create and save your own custom maps to the server, and even share it for others to play! This game is my original game I built 3 years ago, however I've been concentrating on FireJumpers Sandbox for the last year. You should check it out, let me know what you think! http://www.firejumperspro.ca/sandbox/

Thanks yomec. If you like this single player version, you may want to try out my latest cooperative multiplayer version called FireJumpers Sandbox, available on Android and online at http://www.firejumperspro.ca/sandbox/beta/ which is my current beta version!

hold SHIFT while drawing the helicopter's linePath to auto-drop the ground crew. The helicopter doesn't pick up water in the pro version.. at least not yet.

Thanks for finding that bug, I'll put that on my bug squashing list. Once they leave the screen, there's a small tab showing their entry location. On the unit's panel, you'll see a counter, like 2:00 or something. If you click on that counter, it'll start the count-down before the plane will return with water. If you click the counter a second time, it'll return the plane immediately. This functionality is designed to handle off screen pickup times.

Thanks, Pro version is more a training tool than a game. As for the fire, in step 2, you need to draw your own fire. There's a button you need to toggle to be able to draw the fire. As for the bombers scooping water, all you need to do is draw your path over deep water, the bomber will auto-scoop the water. You'll see a series of increasingly larger circles showing the scoop percentage to fill up. Once full of water, you can then draw a line over the fire. At this point, you'll see 3 bright circles showing the "dropzone" for the water drop. You'll also notice a number of dim circles which shows other potential dropzones. You can update the location of the dropzone by clicking on the actual linepath. A bit more complicated than the game, but makes sense once you get use to it! :)

Je comprend le francais, mes c'est plus difficile pour moi. Si tu veux voir quelque chose plus compliquer, essaye ce link ici: http://redbloxgames.com/pro

yes, the unit menu isn't perfect, it's on the list of todos, just such a large list at the moment. Chain orders is a great idea, just not sure how to implement it into the game without over complicating things. It's already quite complicated as you know :) Hose team can reverse, to stop any unit, just click on it. That'll stop any action in place. Units can't swap their tools, hose team has to carry a lot, and aren't likely to also carry chainsaws too. Besides, it's more challenging with limited units. Thanks for the great comments. Will look into chain commands, but I'm not sure how to simply make that work.

I had taken it down a few months ago due to a weird bug where after a successful level, it wouldn't unlock the next level. However, this weekend (Sep6-8th), I'm adding it to the US App Store as a request by another user. If you're in the US also, this is the time as I'm removing it again on Sunday night. As an Easter Egg, you can unlock all levels by clicking on the version # at the top left on the splash screen.

Tout d'abord, transport de l'équipe coupe avec l'hélicoptère à l'angle sud-ouest de l'incendie, à proximité de la population civile et les arbres denses. Vous avez l'équipe de coupe coupé le long de cette longue zone d'herbe mince juste au-dessus des arbres denses vers le nord jusqu'à la route, beaucoup plus rapide coupe l'herbe de buissons ou des arbres. Ensuite, utilisez l'hélicoptère soit bombe d'eau de la partie nord de l'incendie ou de sauver les civils dans cette même zone. Alors l'hélicoptère ramasser l'équipe de tuyau et le transporter vers le sud de l'incendie, à contenir l'incendie d'aller plus loin au sud. À ce stade, le feu devrait être contenue assez pour lutter contre les incendies sur place. Rappelez-vous, arbres denses prennent plus de temps à brûler, et il est difficile d'éteindre avec de l'eau. Essayez d'utiliser votre hélicoptère à l'herbe à la bombe de l'eau ou des buissons, mais il faut éviter les arbres que c'est seulement 50% efficace.

Hawaii is a tough one, it introduces the concept of using terrain to your advantage. Have the helicopter transport in the ground units to contain the top and bottom fires, pushing the head of the fire between the two rivers. The bomber timer should complete just as the fire reaches the narrowest point between the rivers, which is where you should have the bomber drop its load. That should get you 3 stars :)

not sure what you mean by chieves..

awesome! :D

hmmm.. strange :/ I'm assuming you have the latest version of Flash, or at least Flash 10. Are you just getting a blank screen?

We have built a pro version of the game with those features, however it's not open to the public. It's mainly geared for real wildfire agencies for training purposes. We're also working on making this multiplayer, which may end up as an update for the game, but we're still figuring out the strategy. Thanks for your review, much appreciated!

Stopping the fire is ultimately the goal, however there are serious (insurance related) consequences if the fire burns too much property. :p

Thanks for the input, we actually made the hosers stronger, but apparently, not strong enough. We've just recently built a pro version of FireJumpers for our government's wildfire agency and we've learned a lot more about how they handle things. One thing they also said was that only in rare cases can they not hold the line, so we'll be improving all their skills on the next update.

Second person who mentioned that.. strange. I use Flash cookies to hold the data, so it should keep the progress. All I can think of is if you cleared your cache that may lose data.

got the music done by a fellow in the UK, great guy! If you listen carefully, you'll notice that the music is adaptive, so the volume of different tracks become louder based on the number of active units! :D

Initially planned to add a easy/normal/hard mode option, but I have such a huge list of other issues I've got to tackle first. If you need any help with strategies, feel free to join our facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/FireJumpers) and we can help you out :)
