I lose after 5 seconds. I think I'm missing the point :open_mouth:

Hi @king-kujito thanks for playing our game! We may be a little too concise in our description. 1. There is an existing food chain where lion > sheep > grass 2. Changing the parameters would affect the gene and therefore the population of the NEXT generation of the species

Hope that helps!

Pretty nice game just i think at some point i was creating tornodo while changing the values of the animals might be a small bug but i like the circle of life concept

Man, those lions are ROUGH. I like smiting animals with tornadoes, more games need this feature! :)

Hi @antt5053 Thanks for playing our game! Good observation!

To make the game more challenging, there will be Red tornado created by other god in order to make your species go extincted. Is the tornodo created while you're changing the values of the animals is red?

Hi when I try to play the game all I am seeing is a black screen. I hear the audio though.

antt5053 2018-12-04 18:35

@econgamer No it is not red i went to the "bottom"of the map then created a tornado and when playing with any of the 3 fat value at some point i spawned a tornado

@cribin

Hello Cribin, can you see the loading screen? What browser are you using?

econgamer 2018-12-05 01:42

@antt5053 I got it, thank you.

little trouble understanding what to do but i did really like watching the sheep go up in the tornado -- nice work

Interesting concept-I love the idea of predator/prey dynamics. It would have been nice to survey the land and set my population dials before the game began. The tornadoes are both random and hilarious. I love the music-felt like I was there.

Hello, I have tried your game several times but I had a problem to figure out what each of those sliders actually do and thus failed all the time within minute(s). Small explanation would be very helpful :) Also if I may suggest replace default Unity sliders and fonts with custom ones, it's done really fast and it makes the game looks so much better (I'm saying so because we made exactly the same mistake like 2 or 3 LDs back). I liked 3D models, some animations would be nice but I understand that even making those models was probably time consuming.

Cool concept. Just not easy to undestand what does each slider do. It's fun to mess around with tornados haha. Good job for a 72h jam, keep it up !

Nice idea, it's not very clear to me what is the effect of various parameters... it would be useful if population of lion and sheep is displayed... or maybe i did not see it? great job btw!

this was very hard! good premise and potentially educational. but the lions were to good at eating for their own good. so my circle of life didn't keep circling for very long. i think that it could have been addictive if it was easier in the beginning, to give players a chance to gradually get into it.
