Good game overall, could have been better if the screen was resizable. Because it wasn't, I couldn't see the icons on the bottom.

The overall idea is really nice I think. It was fun to let airplanes crash into "buildings/cities" :) It would have been nice if the score would have been displayed during gameplay. Also some documentation about combos and what amount of points they are worth would be nice. I was wandering why I couldnt let ships crash into a "building" by a current. Nevertheless, an interesting title!

Score 43250! I really dig this game. When I used to play Simcity, my favorite part was using the cheats to cause fires and plane crashes. This game hits the same notes :)

There were some really cool elements, especially the way you could influence the water! Expanding on that idea would be really cool!

I really like this game.

I enjoyed it. Would have been nice if the game lasted long though. As in the cities didn't blow up.

That was loads of fun. I thought the powerup mechanics drained a bit quickly, but shunting ships and planes around was neat. I think with a bit of work on the graphics it'd be excellent.

Good overall. But I got boored because it was so slow

arch-jslin 2012-12-17 11:18

Really liked this one! Also reminded me of SimCity... :p I think the control mechanism and UI is pretty neat too. The sea current is really original.

I liked the way the currents worked. I think it would be awesome if there were even more power ups.

Hehe playing God is allways awesome :D Nice work!

I really like the concept! But I think the game is bugged somehow because after like 5 minutes almost everything exploded. Also the old school sim city graphics are nice^^ The sound however is a bit too loud and or bad quality.

Very interesting concept. The special abilities worked really nicely and were fun to use. Good game!

razion 2012-12-18 09:15

Hilarious title! Pretty fun. Interesting explosion chain system.

The concept in the game was great though if given several more hours of polish and new graphics the game would be great.

h8urf8 2012-12-18 19:28

Cool game. Would have liked to play it a bit longer. ;)

crimsoneer 2012-12-19 16:58

Awesome idea! I like it, very missile command :)

modernovo and innovativno

Sorry, I can't rate this game because I don't have Windows.

jmaasing 2012-12-20 18:18

Sorry, can't rate since I don't have windows.

First of all thank a lot to al the critics, I'm writing them down as I plan to restart this game from scratch (I liked the idea but not too much the implementation). Gameplay was not enough tested, so I think I wasted too much time on water without paying attentiont to art and play balance :S

For the last comments, I'm no adding Linux and Mac compiled, but without sound. I'm encountering a problem that has already taken too much time for solving with the audio, so I decided to take it out and if I manage to solve, will change links :)

jmaasing 2012-12-21 00:50

It didn't agree with my linux (not your fault, I didn't have the right versions of needed libraries). I'll come back for the OSX-version later and play that :) Thanks for making a linux version.

ceronman 2012-12-21 05:11

Thanks for adding a Linux port. I had to install freeglut and freeimage to play it, but in the end I was able to do it. Very nice game, it's cool to see those hips crashing! also, nice physics!

dtg 2012-12-21 10:51

only just got the icons at the bottom to use the abilities on my laptop, but nice little chaining mechanic.
The tsunamis etc seemed like a really cool idea but I just couldn't use them often. In the end I just waited till they were near docks then just use a current.
A little bit of tweaking could show the good work you've done with some of the functions.

As others noted, this is basically the Disasters menu from SimCity 1 rebuilt as the main game. Good idea that matches the theme and well done.

Jeremias 2012-12-31 15:55

The graphics are okay, but the game mechanics are very funny. Good job! My best score was 51250 (with an 8x combo!).

Just add a tutorial or help button instead of forcing the player again and again to wait for the button to skip the instructions.

I hope you keep working on this game and add some further mechanics and content!

The changing of water currents was great, maybe the game could have utilized that mechanic more.
