10, 9, 7… FIRE!

10, 9, 7... FIRE! is a space station puzzle game where you act as a team building coach overseeing a fully voiced alien crew's countdown exercise. Your main objective is to keep the launch smooth by watching the crew pass numbers from one member to the next and buzzing whoever makes a mistake before time runs out.

Gameplay and Species Counting Rules

The core loop requires careful observation and swift reactions. The alien crew lines up with individual buttons in front of them, counting down from 10 to 1. However, standard rules do not apply universally across the galaxy. Different alien species follow distinct counting logic, meaning a number that sounds incorrect at first might be a valid part of that species' sequence.

You must track the pattern, evaluate spoken numbers against species-specific rules, and catch errors before a delay resets the round. Making mistakes—such as waiting too long after a real error or buzzing an alien who was actually right—forces you to replay the level.

Controls

• Left Click: Click a crew member’s button to call out their mistake
• Space Bar: Skip cutscenes

Distinctive Features

• Species-Specific Logic: Forces players to look past standard human counting rules because what sounds like an error from one alien may be correct for another.
• Punishing False Alarms: Careless clicking or slow reactions instantly reset the attempt, preventing players from blindly spamming buttons.
• Voiced Alien Crew: Built in just four days, the game features a fully voiced cast that adds humor to the space station exercise.
