I like God games, I like A-life, this seems to be a little of both so it makes me happy :) Still confused as all heck though but it's an interesting confusion.

Cool idea! Very fun overall. Audio is servicable.
Wow, that was extremely cool! I loved the interpretation of the theme, and the amount of complexity you managed to get out of it. Really well done, I'm impressed!
Very fun! Has a feel sort of like Act Raiser? I liked the way that things grew without your control, so the whole system kind of evolved while you tried to manage it. Would like to see this "grow" into a bigger game!
not sure if i understand how to get good at this, but i appreciate how different it is haha
This is awesome, I love seeing the growth and life happening. My only complaint is that after I set up the initial conditions, everything seems to happen on it's own and without any real problems. Making it less of a game and more of a fishbowl. Still awesome nonetheless.
It's a little confusing, but still really neat.
This is fun. This is perfect for a touch screen.
a nice game, reminded me of populous
Very relaxing to play and a great feel overall. Well done!
Interesting game, though it seems my clicks sometimes dont do anything...
This is really cool, it was hella satisfying once I realized how to work the resource distribution. It threw some errors while I was playing, though, specifically when attempting to murder people.
I'm confused on how to actually get anywhere in this game, but it was still very interesting and somewhat fun :D Good job!
Rules are a little too hard to figure out. But this is definitely my type of game! Great job
Interesting. Hard to tell what's happening, but interesting nonetheless!
overall fun idea.
A fun game, and while not much too it right now, I could see a lot of ways this could be expanded. Cool idea.
I will pay you money if you greenlight this title (at a much grander scale of course).
I didn't quite understand it at first, but then I read the guide and it all made sense. I even had two towns with farms on my island ^^ Nice little game and I love the music
wow, played for ages
It's amazing that you finished this in 48 hours. Then again, you're using Unity :P
Still, I love the idea of just letting the world develop on its own, occasionally pushing it like you would push a kid on a swing. Does that make sense? Nah, forget it. Still, awesome game!
Didn't really figure out the graphism (what is the light blue ?) but had fun playin god!
Good concept, music and introduction! I would have given a good mood note if it was availiable.
Check out Digicross, playable in solo/multi/coop :

The graphics were very cute.
I love god games! It is very interesting to try out different interactions but sometimes I don't know what I am doing. For example I have no idea what AV is. Eventually I got stuck because I don't have the place to place the mountain and the town seems to stop growing for some reason. It is fun though I enjoyed the game.I guess it should let the player to discover the interactions between object but it should at least show me what the object is.
A lot of fun just to mess around. Really good usage of the themes for direction.
I felt a little bad making the people become believers by hurting them, funny enough. The game is a bit of a statement in itself, lol.
Great idea, things happen so fast it's hard to really appreciate the effects of your intervening though
Very confusing.. o.O
click, click, things happen.. why?
I haven't wrapped my head around how to navigate this properly, but there's something oddly satisfying about fostering human life from a single volcano. Bravo!
Love the idea. Also a bit confused as to whats going on! But was enjoying myself haha! Did get a crash after a few quick clicks :(
I love the idea and execution, perfect in theme, well done!
For who don't understand what is going on: just explore combinations, this is key point of the game!
Dont really understand what to do.
I really tried with this one. the pictures looked amazing, but every time i just made volcanoes, and then eventually i couldn't do anything at all, so i was left with a bunch of stone and mountains. real shame too because the pictures look awesome. also, i'm not sure what the other symbol i got was. it kinda resembed a tribe maybe? it had a food counter on it whatever it was.
Awesome idea! Like this game. Requires sometime to figure out what it going on)
It look like old colonisation! And played like B&W!
It freez me, i must was other games. ;)
i love that song
Nice idea. Good concept. Liked the music too. Good job.
That was fun =). I got an exception when trying to drop water into the middle of my town. Maybe I shouldn't do that...
Love the concept, even though I'm very lost on what I'm doing lol
Good use of both themes! I found it a bit difficult to figure out how to get everything to work, but it worked well in the time constraints.
This is a very interesting game. I actually really like how hands off it can be. You only have to perform a few actions to get things going (it's a lot like Sim Earth, a little bit of tweaking, and not much micro managing). I did get an exception twice using the web build, both times while taking an item (once was a mountain, the other was a church). Unfortunately debug support wasn't turned on so I couldn't get you an specifics on the error.
i really do like this :D
Interesting game, I must say. :) Didn't get how each tile works, but I had fun none the less.
nice
Very interesting game, actually spent quite some time watching how the land grows, etc. Well done!
good idea, it is a little confusing but i like it
A nice entry. I loved the intro.
Performance is pretty bad :(
This game was amazing! Best of the ones I've tried.
It's honestly a bit complicated for me. But very interesting for sure!
I honestly wasnt sure about this type of game and kinda didnt know what to do half way through but that music omg i loved it :) makes me way to get a little keyboard lol
ye i think with the additional features you mentioned this would turn into a great game would be good to see it fully done
Well Done!!
Audio is great and is a good god game.
I'm not saying I understood the whole idea but there's a very pleasant feeling of cellular automata and god game here which made me nostalgic of my Populous days.
Interesting idea. I couldn't always figure out the chain of events though.
Interesting game. This was a very creative interpretation of the theme. It was cool to see things combine in different ways to make the environment more varied. Great work!
I tweeted a picture of my world to #GiveandTakeLD
The game was confusing, but it was the kind of confusing that makes you want to figure out what's going on. Good job! I have wanted to make a game similar to this in the past, so I'm glad you uploaded your source. Thanks, and good job!
Interesting game. It took a little while to figure out how to get the tiles to do what I wanted but once I got it, it was pretty fun.
I enjoyed this sim. You did well to model all of those phenomena in such an abstract game, everything felt reasonably balanced. I'm not sure I understood fully how I was interacting with the system, some kind of indicator would have helped. If you expand on this game, consider a growing world map! I'd love to see this happening at 5x the size :)
Cool! Sorry about your village, a volcano was needed there...
Initially a little confusing, but the initial time investment was well-rewarded. Cool concept and a really unique take on the theme.
Sounds intriguing, but I don't really get how it works.
It was very difficult to understand the game at first. But once I understood it, it was interesting. Unfortunately, it does nor really communicate well, what combines into what. That makes it difficult to steer the game.
Very well made game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/XuTLfsOkf7k
Nice god-like game. Like other stated its hard to understand at first.
That was a cool game. I plan on revisiting this one later. really liked how this incorporated both themes.
Pretty interesting game, I liked the idea but I was a little bit confused. A lot of fun trying to control everything though!
Strangely compelling even though I didn't always know what I was doing!
This game is amazing, I really hope with all my heart that you keep working on this, I'd love to play a finished version. The only thing I really think is missing is a way to kill the little ungrateful shits... '0 belief' ...
P.S: The joke about how the bible begins was hilarious, good job man!

Interesting, but a bit confusing. Enjoyed what i could figure out.
Awesome game, although I got way too confused playing it.
I got an exception in the web gl: ran out of memory
Had much fun playing it! Nice concept!
Well, the game crashed XD
but in the second play i was able to create greens!! <3
I'm not 100% sure what's happening behind the scenes, but this is lovely. I like how it sort of grows a life of its own, allowing you to just watch it and be hypnotized :)
I couldn't figure out the growth rules, but it's very original. Good job!
Nice game, it would be nice to have the tool tip tell you what the type of a tile is.
Very interesting take on the theme and the god game genre.
Interesting concept. I like it a lot, but no idea what's going on. I figured out that different tiles can become other tiles, but not why, nor what the people needed or wanted.
Nice entry! I have been playing it for a long time to figure out how everything works. Then I read your description again to see there is a guide in-game and everything became clear haha. Well executed, good god-like game ;)
Confusing but in a good way :) Very creative and funny!
