While the Switch is absolutely a family-oriented system, and Nintendo’s own first-party offerings tend to be all-ages affairs, on the whole in the indie scene I haven’t tended to encounter too many games obviously intended for younger gamers. There are some exceptions that come to mind like Yono and the Celestial Elephants in particular, but while perhaps there are games that are accessible enough to be played by newbies, there aren’t too many where their enjoyment is instead the focus. Flipping the script a bit, I would imagine that people looking for a less stressful experience could easily enjoy playing as the adorable firefighting Leo, but it’s obvious that it was made with junior gamers in mind.

As you’d expect, your primary activity in the game is dousing fires with your trusty firehose, and then rescuing trapped civilians or clearing the way with your trusty axe. In addition, you’ll pretty quickly get to take some bigger equipment for a spin in the form of a truck, helicopter, boat, and more, as well as supplemental powers. Each vehicle has its own control style, though in general it’s all been pretty heavily simplified. Not only will most of them help you get around more quickly, moving from the station to wherever the fires may be breaking out, but many of them also have their own included means of putting out fires, helping to keep the action a little more fresh and exciting.

Of course, for the average gamer the primary casualty in the experience will be that there’s not a whole lot of depth, but given the obvious intention of the game’s design it’s hard to begrudge them for knowing their intended audience and sticking with them. The gameplay is generally light and the challenges are quite minimal, but if you’ve got a young gamer-in-training or simply would enjoy playing something with a little adventure and variety, that won’t be terribly taxing, it’s a cute treat of a time.
