Took me a minute to realize what was going on, but it was pretty cool.

Looks very pretty watching an island form from the ocean. Once you get the hang of collecting mana there isn't much else to do but watch the simulation.

graebor 2014-08-26 01:02

Watching the island grow and the lava flow is really neat. It's quite confusing as to what you're supposed to do, but after a few minutes I got the hang of balancing the different resources.

egos 2014-08-26 01:04

@mechabit in some configuration you can have a lot of mana rapidly
The goal is to spend mana for increase generation possibility

egos 2014-08-26 01:05

@graebor i hope you will not the only one thanks :)

I could play this for hours. It's hypnotizing =P

thomz12 2014-08-26 12:29

took a while to figure out what to do, I liked it though!

x1212 2014-08-26 12:41

great idea, too bad my PC seems to be unable to keep up with this, but until the framerate goes down it's lots of fun

egos 2014-08-26 13:39

@x1212 effectivelly its badly optimised sorry for this

stasss 2014-08-26 16:05

interesting idea, really hypnotizing, but not trivial to understand whats going on.

lokiman 2014-08-26 18:51

Hmmm, maybe I am missing something but somewhere in the miidle of level 2 I unable to generate mana and I nned to restart :( .. but I will try again and find the right strategy :D

egos 2014-08-26 20:11

@lokiman
its very importante to maintain biotope power
Their are no end if you have no mana and no BT power AND no gem/pattern you cant do anythings

Thnaks all for feed back

capsizedmoose 2014-08-26 21:24

a little time consuming, but it's okay :)

egos 2014-08-26 22:43

I appreciate you pass time to watching ... its the goal if you considere the gamplay a this time
thanks

jjhaggar 2014-08-27 09:04

Really original! I liked it! ^^

rocketship 2014-08-27 16:57

A bit confusing at first, everything seems to happen so quickly. The idea is nice and has potential for expanding.

blan4 2014-08-27 17:18

Take a minute to understand main idea and realize how to produce gems. Cool game.

sneeuwpopsneeuw 2014-08-27 17:48

This is one of the best games of ludum dare.

ponk 2014-08-27 21:19

I love it so much ! Amazing job !!

suve 2014-08-28 10:20

The mechanics are really hard to grasp at first, but once you get an idea of what's going on, it gets real fun and hard to stop. The game is very random, which can be both annoying, and fun, as you can play many times and have much different results.

egos 2014-08-28 10:37

thanks all for your return.
The game play is very crapy at this time but the new one incoming is so much differnet thx LD :)

mrexcessive 2014-08-28 19:39

Hi there. Love the procedural lava flows and island growth. Nice to see Construct2 being used. Shame no sound. Good job!

borgi 2014-08-31 13:35

Cool idea, nice implementation. Some music would have benn cool :D

papygaragos 2014-08-31 13:38

As other said, it took a while to understand what i should do (especially the "pattern thing").

It gets a bit repetitive after a while :
- boost everything up to 100
- hit the play button
- when everything is back to 0, pause and start again...

Not much to do really, yet I spent way too much time playing this. Good job

egos 2014-08-31 16:13

thanks for you feed back
I realize i pass so many time on the algo that the gameplay havent a lot of challenge. I work on it

jukimv1986 2014-09-15 08:39
