Fireflight

Made in one week as part of the '2025 Not-Massey Game Jam'.

Following an intense showdown with a gang of toads, Sheriff Biggle, a daring frog cowboy, makes a frantic retreat with his injured partner. You two have been through so much together, so many froggy adventures, so there’s no way he’s dying on your watch! Far from your familiar wild west home, your escape has brought you to a strange forest. 

Protect your partner against waves of enemies, keep him safe against the toads who would see him dead, and survive for as long as you can.

In Fireflight, play as the adventurous Sheriff Biggle in a cheery woodland battlefield, stuck in a desperate fight to save your partner. Armed with only your tongue and trusty firefly-gun, you must snatch your flying, buggy ammo out of the sky, and use them against the dastardly toads! 

Use the environment to your advantage; with bright red mushrooms to grapple, bouncing lilypads to launch you into the sky, and glowing fireflies hovering above the ponds.

You have only one mission — protect your partner with your life, for as long as you can.
