Seriously?! :D
I am a Black and White fun so this catches my attention. This game has the mood, there is a feel here of old good Molyneux games.

Cool! Clicking the followers precisely was a bit difficult at times, and losing came fast, but I stuck with it long enough to get most powers. Nice work!
Haha this reminds me a little bit Molyneux's style. Or a mobile game named Babel Rising..
I had a lot of trouble clicking on the unfaithful followers, and some time i think i couldn't launch my spell..
Good work about the overall mood for it, i like the way corpses roll on the ground xD
good graphics. fun gameplay although i couldn't figure out how to get followers
Really frustrating. There's no clear indication what I'm doing to my followers (they turn blue and groan; am I killing them? Turning them into zombies? What?) or what my powers do, apart from the fireball. And the interface for viewing the island is pure pain - so much for "all-seeing!"
The idea is really cool. People are way too tiny..
Poke people to death! 5/5 Fun great game was really fun and impressive :D
Reminded me Black & White. Nice job!
@Evergreen Games - One of the powers you have converts the people into your followers.
Fun game. Hilarious sound effects! Wish I could zoom out slightly, but that would make it too easy. Not sure what else to say.
The link is broken.
Frustrating! camera controls are strange, and as mentioned it's not obvious what my powers are doing, you mention converting but which is that or how does that work? for the short time though well done! Some things(extra powers?) might've been better being simplified/left out in favour of making it more understandable
So addicting!!!
But its just too difficult to keep 5 people on land, perhaps change it to something like 20 as I cant get more then 4 followers before I lose!
Other then the fact some people may take offence I think its a great and funny game!
neat little game! if the "click a guy to toss him" skill was default that would improve the games feel a lot. But we all know what it's like to make a game in a weekend. Playtesting doesn't happen, no ones got time for that!
Ahh, this takes me back to waaay too many hours spent playing the first two Populous games. Awesome feel! Some of the controls are a little fiddly, but good fun overall.
Sorry to everyone getting annoyed by the controls. We understand the issue but we had a 28 hour crunch at the end and simply ran out of time to polish controls and the like.
Just as a quick helpful guide, you can convert followers two ways. The first is the conversion spell which is the spell on the bottom left that looks like a goblet. The other is to kill followers near other followers, which is difficult because the area is a bit too low but if you poke people as soon as they land off the zeppelin then you'll convert a few nearby people.
Also, when people turn blue, they are converted and will start praying to you (although they turn blue when they die too as they are converted in death).
@SivGoose To clarify this game isn't taking shots at any current world religions but rather poking fun at the asshole nature of the ancient world gods like Zeus.
Very well made, but it needs some polish.
Graphics and sound are nice, but it would be nice that if you choose a power your cursor changed, and would keep that power until you choose another one.
Good job!
Nice entry, Mr. Molyneux!! :)
Loved the powers, the cute graphics and the sound. The UI could have used a bit more work as it was tough to have feedback to know who you were clicking on.
Great job!
Smart idea and looks good, but controls are to hard. I liked the "Demigod" sound =)
it's a cool game, just has some issues with using powers.
An on-hover display of what a power does would be useful, and if you could use the power and not have to select it again. Also, make so it's not so hard to click on the people.
Other than that, I liked the audio/visual aspects, and the design is cool; mostly just being held up by the annoyances I mentioned
Great potential but as is, its really hard to play. A hint over these power buttons would improve things a lot. Camera sometimes behave strangely and I have no indication of how many bastards escaped from my hands. Things are too far, I would zoom the camera to give more are to click on people.
Please don't take these critics bad, 4 in 5 of my own LD games, I make these same mistakes. Lessons to be learned. Then again, this game have great potential and I hope to see a better polished full featured version.
Oh, that's nice, like old good games!
I am a terrible person/god. Awesome.
No man! God is love :)
Interesting concept. Well done ++
