A downloadable game for Windows

A wheelchair-controlled 3rd person fire fighting game where you play as 2 kids putting out imaginary fires spirits, cleaning away graffiti, and spraying down cats from trees to get the highest score.

The game is playable in single-player using keyboard or gamepad, however it is intended to be a 2-player game where one person uses a wiimote and the other uses a wheelchair with the wheels against the underside of 2 PC mice.

Made as a submission for the Gotland Game Conference where it was displayed using a custom arcade machine setup using a real wheelchair and fire extinguisher as input.

Made by:

  • Simon Östman
  • Erik Högberg

Controls:

Keyboard:

  • Q/A for left wheel, W/S for right wheel
  • 1 to shoot water or foam
  • 2 to boost
  • 3 to switch between water and foam for shooting

Mouse:

  • X and Y axis controls each wheel
  • This control mode is intended to be used with 2 mice placed under the wheels of a wheelchair, with one mouse turned sideways
  • The game is somewhat playable with one mouse on a table, by dragging the mouse diagonally to go forward
  • Shooting and boosting is still done using the 1, 2 and 3 keys on the keyboard

Wiimote:

  • Only the shooting/water hose role can be controlled using the wiimote
  • This mode was tested to work with a mayflash dolphin bar to connect the wiimote to the PC
  • The wiimote recenters itself using the sensor bar
  • The dpad on the wiimote is used to calibrate the gravity sensors
  • The A and B buttons are used to shoot and switch between water and foam
  • The 1, 2 and 3 keyboard keys can also be used to shoot, boost and switch between water and foam while using the wiimote

Gamepad: 

  • Left and right joysticks control the speed of each wheel
  • hold the bumper/shoulder buttons to use the sticks to aim using the joysticks instead
