hmm reminds me of sim city 2000 and populous :3

nyannyankoneko

Demostyle!

Not quite sure what this has to do with the theme.. on the other hand, I'm not sure if I understand the game either. Great audio and nice graphics though!

philhassey

Fun little non-game :) Bonus for having a text-scroller. Effort points for not doing a side-scroller game :)

girlflash

I dont know what it is... BUT I LIKE IT! :D

Crashed on startup first try, but the second try worked, so I went with it.

First of all, secret trick: If you pound ground next to the water, so it's at water level, you can then floodfill that ground to erase all the water! This lets you go see the magical edge of the world, where stuff doesn't get erased.

This entry was WAY more fun than at least half of the actual game entries. Really good play control, and I'm glad you got the display worked out, it looks very solid. I don't know why you can floodfill (I guess that's the closest thing you have to a chain reaction...), but it's pretty fun to do. I also enjoyed raising land. I wish I could choose up/down, I got tired of running over somewhere to pound down in order to continue building my mountain.

The head is creepy.

gimblll

I don't get it. Was there a game in there? Nice audio and gfx though, and thanks for sfxr! :)

zIt's not much of a game, but I had fun just xjumping around with my happy creepy disembodied head, sculpting and floodfilling the landscape. Could'vzxe perhaps worked well as a two-player game, competing for the most squares?

..hm, actually I can move around even as I type this, since the window apparently doesn't care about input focus.

zAnyway, I'd like to give you a billion points just for including a dypp scroller, but there's no category for that, so I'll guess I'll just make you a trophy or something later on. Nice music, sfx and gfx, too.

Well, the game is obviously not finished, but it definitely has potential. The sounds were one of the rare non-ear-splitting few. :)

negativegeforce

although the game isn't complete, what is complete is nice and polished.

tenjouutena

No game there, obviously.

allefant

The first two times I started it it crashed (using Vista). The third time it would run. You get 5 audio points just for making sfxr :) About the game, the chain-reacting floor should need some explanation (or was there one in the scroller? didn't read it all..) but after I had filled everything I still didn't win. I also wasn't quite sure what the point was in raising/loweing the floor with the mid-air z. Also, z is quite hard to reach on qwertz keyboards, so a minus point in polish for hardcoding it. The graphics and that you wrote an isometric engine in an LD are amazing.

mwest

Fun to mess around with even though there's no real gameplay.

Vaguely reminds me of something I played long ago on the MSX, but I'm not sure what it was.

drzool

Hmmm it's missing something... hmm... aha I know! A waterfall!

wiering

Wouldn't run in Vista... I got one flash of the game and then Vista says that something is wrong (and gives no info at all!)

archwyrm

I think there is almost the perfect game here! Somewhere.. Nice work though.

greencow

big baby buddha head, where'd you get those nice sounds??=O
