This is the second of the two new releases from Automata, and this time I decided to play the audio side first. Described as 'a free audio track by Safety and the Matches', it's a dirty ditty entitled "Put the cat out, mother". It's a good job it's free - I would never have bought it!

However, the game on the other side is worth buying. The Piman has a burning desire to toast the residents of Automata Towers. You have to guide Walter the fireman round the building, filling a bucket with water, and trying to douse fires. There are fire extinguishers around the place, if you want to use them.

Scattered inside the building are various treasures which you can collect, if you can find the time that is. Some careless person leaves dynamite lying around, so that has to be removed, but fast. Whether the author of the game is trying to tell us something I don't know, but on the top floor was a pink elephant doing a little dance, and squirting water all over the place. A hectic, but very playable game.
