Palm Tree Inferno
Happy American Independence day! There's not a lot to celebrate about the US these days, but every year, I love to watch as dozens of palm trees in my neighborhood catch fire from illegal fireworks. Now YOU can help Los Angeles county manage the palm tree fires.
Race against the clock to help extinguish the trees in one of LA's eighty-eight cities. How long can you last before the LAPD shows up and loads all the fireworks into their truck and detonate it, destroying the entire neighborhood?
(that is really a thing by the way)
Randomly generated maps make it infinitely playable, and the number of trees is luck of the draw.

Your neighbor sent me here (I suspect because we've met before and I also make games, but I'm glad he did.) What a charming, mini game. Nice work!
I had considered making something in Pico-8 just for the fun of it a few weeks ago then moved on, but seeing what you made inspires me to do something with at some point again.
Hey sorry I just saw this… three months later
Thank you so much for the kind words! And I feel honored to pass on the urge to make shit. Did you ever end up finishing your project?
LOL. All good! Hmm, I'm always making projects. I've only finished one for a game jam since this comment and that was Flowerfin.
Wow flowerfin is excellent! I can't wait to talk your ear off at the next party.
