I won !! 2120 years for killing them all ! x) The first time I played, I thought I had to save them all, but chen I understood, that became a way more fun ! x) Graphism are not so good though and it lacks sounds. But the core of the game is well done ! Great job !

Keep coding :)

The game download link currently gives a 404 error.

@magnega sorry about that, I changed the release name and forgot to update the link. It's fixed now.

I won in the 1400, killed about 63 people, destroyed maybe three or four buildings? I like the game for its simplicity, would have loved some tunes to go with it, and some 8bit-ish sound effects for the earthquakes and tornadoes. Also would have liked if the year timer would stop after the win condition is met for screen-shots of when you won!

Nice game, I like the way people flew around in the tornadoes.

Although I hoped to be able to change the width of my tornadoes and use 2x 1-sized ones in a row, rather than spending all my saved tornadoes. Had to try and get them with earthquakes :)

@elfcirynn and @skibisky thanks for the feedbacks!

We had a lot more plans, but we ran out of time very quickly. I wrote all of the gameplay on the last day and didn't have time for polish (or textures or audio). The tornadoes and earthquakes were quick and dirty implementations to have something to play at least. I spent too much time with map generation, especially for a game that doesn't even have textures to go with it.

I've learned some stuff about game dev and time management and hope to release a better, more finished product next time! :)

Hi there! I managed to kill around 160, then the exe crashed :( But still big congratulations on putting this together, it was playable to an extent! :)

The first link gives a 404, the executable+source code link immediately sets off my antivirus program. So I'm afraid I couldn't try the game.

@bificommander I've updated the link in the description. Windows blocks executables from unknown/untrusted sources, I don't know how to make my executable "trusted". The source code is available on github, so if you're afraid of malicious code, you can scan through the source. So if you want to run the game you'll have to ignore your antivirus program or manually install Ruby and run the code directly with the interpreter, but it's not really worth the trouble anyway :P
