Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

Leaving Early Access: Nov 1, 2026

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This game is in its early stages and has worlds of room for improvement based on requests and suggestions by the most important people, the players!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to have this game in Early Access for a relatively short period of time. The anticipation is that it will be less than 6 months, followed by an official release and outlined build and patch schedule.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will have a PvE-only mode that can be accessed in both single player and coop games modes. We want to eventually develop a couch-coop mode so friends can enjoy the game together in person. Other things we plan to do are improved interfaces, improved input support, accessibility enhancements, and gameplay loop improvements as feedback is received.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Very early. We want to come to market, even in early access, as soon as possible to make sure we can get the most valuable feedback early on, helping us move in the right direction from the start.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to raise the price as we move into a fully-fledged game with PvE only elements and game modes. We also plan to introduce achievements, cosmetics, and more interesting tools to help you achieve victory!”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to listen to player feedback through comments on social media, and the Steam rating system.”

About This Game

In the age of drones and droids, humanity finally admitted it was terrible at forest management — so it handed the job to the Hose-Bots: cheerful little firefighting robots with a water tank on their back and a hose they're way too proud of.

Then a shadowy crew of arsonists hacked half the fleet, swapping hoses for flamethrowers and good intentions for chaos. Now the forest is a battlefield, and it's going to take a team to save it… or a team to burn it all down.

Pick a side. Swap at halftime. Bring your friends.

  • Hose-Bots: douse the flames, dig firebreaks, spray pink slurry, and blast the Firebugs' fuel tanks dry.

  • Firebugs: spark wildfires, soak the woods in accelerant, sneak past the painters, and torch the Hose-Bots' water towers.

  • Up to 8 players in squads that keep their crew all match. First to 4 rounds wins.

  • Classes for every playstyle: front-line hose hero, tank-hauling support, or sneaky utility saboteur.

  • Loot chests with water bombs, firebombs, EMPs that zap anyone nearby (yes, even your friends), and drain grenades that empty the enemy's tanks.

  • Fire that actually spreads: wind it, feed it, trench it, drown it. Every match burns differently.

  • Proximity voice chat: hear the enemy whispering their plan behind that tree.

Grab a hose. Or a match. The forest is counting on you, one way or the other.
