It's an awesome entry, nice job guys, i passed my last hour to try all the different possibilities for the development of my tribes ahah I love the random generation of the map, it's something that add some sugars on each new run. Your day/night cycle and his lights effects is so beautifull and smooth, it's really realistic. I love the cartoon design of our believers, it's pretty fun ! This concept reminds me a lot of another god game, especially Populous 3 and i really appreciate that. To be pernickety, maybe the time for the round is too small, i see all of my tribes dying too quickly, a problem of my tribes management ? I don't know ahah Good luck for the future !

Nice game! Liked the music and the animations a lot.

Fyi, when I play webgl version in embedded mode, top ui is outside of the screen. When switched to fullscreen mode, the problem is solved.

I really enjoyed this game. Graphics are awesome and artistic (especially the terrain). As a god game fan, I really appreciate this entry. Good job.

I like how you added a precious ore. That definetly boosted the mood. Overall the controls are awesome and good job guys

Nice meditative experience, thank you guys.

I always make the yellow tribe die at the second day but i had some fun playing this, it's a great game!

My tribes were immediately killed by the blue guys :) The character animations are great.

I didn’t understand something, I built a village, people dragged water for some time, chopped trees, mined ore and actually died of dehydration, what is the rational meaning?

The core gameplay idea is exceptionally clever, and the graphics/music is quirky and well executed.

As a few other commenters above I found that surviving the first couple of days was very tricky (perhaps even requiring a bit of luck), but when I did manage it then going on to maintain a steadily growing population was largely straightforward. It's nothing that a tutorial, a late-game objective/threat and/or possibly a balance tweak couldn't adjust though, if you wanted to work on the game further.

Thanks for the game, I had a lot of fun :)

@aycan Modified the web player's size on Itch.io, solved the problem. Thanks for the issue report.

@aquanim The game's balance is definitely one of first things that should be worked on if we happen to update the game. We didn't manage to keep enough time for proper playtesting and balancing, with the early being too hard (it should be easy to get tribes to survive the first days and maintain their size/grow a little bit) and the 'late' game too easy as the tribes could basically grow forever in the current state once you've got a good run going.

The gameplay here is super unique, absolutely adore this project. Music is fantastic :)

kuviman 2019-10-11 12:32

Still dont understand if it is even possible for my guys to not die out, But it is a cool idea and good game :)

I really like the idea and it's fun to play. I'm not certain if there is no end goal but I couldn't reach it which was something that I missed. I also hoped that after one of the tribes dies they would still reappear in a day or so at the location where there is the most of their resource type - did not happen. Other than that I really enjoyed playing it - this is for now the jam game that kept me playing the longest as it really pulls you in :)

Cool game. Gave up after a few tries though.

jk5000 2019-10-15 08:26

A fun but also a super hard game. I love the music and the graphics is overall pretty good. This overall a pretty good little jam game. Well done.

Great music and a very fun concept. I completely sucked at being god :wink:

tomeks 2019-10-17 05:23

Very nice game, a lot of mechanics for such a small team. Love the camera control (although when you rotate, release of pan doesn't get recorded so camera will continue panning, but it's minor). Nice music, and I weirdly like the day/night cycle execution. Good job. Also well done on 20 reviews. My tribes didn't live for too long :(

I really like graphics and audio!!!

patvanmackelberg 2019-10-24 02:47

Very cool, loved the little animated dudes :)

roka-josh 2019-10-27 19:47

Nice game, interested to see if you work on this more!

projectaroid 2019-10-27 23:28

I really enjoyed playing this game. Great concept, graphics, audio, and game play. I'm terrible at keeping everyone alive but excellent work!

joe40001 2019-10-29 19:39

A little wonky to play (particularly in html5) But I really like the idea and feel. Neat and innovative!

paulsams 2019-10-29 20:00

It was fun to play. Thanks for such a gaming experience!
