nice concept!

Fun! Reminds me of playing Black & White as an evil deity.

Cool take on the theme, I liked it !

natures-delay.png I think I broke it on my first try. I just put some fireball and lightning on the left, and the tsunami took everyone away on the right. On the second try the invaders got me after 62 days. Cool concept, it was fun to mess with. Thank you for the game.

Can't make it past day 60 for the life of me :tired_face:

The game gives you a great feeling of being overwhelmed that makes it fit with the theme really well. I love the sprites (the lightning animation is beautiful) and all the disasters feel really satisfying to use! If you want to come back to the game after the competition I think adding some background music could really add to the atmosphere.

Fun game, love the idea of playing the role as a god haha

Really nice interpretation of the theme!

this was really fun! I wish there was something else to do while i was waiting for the refreshes, maybe clicking on individual people to get rid of them, anyway it's super fun and tense waiting for the weapons to cooldown, great job with the sound effects as well

So satisfying to drop the meteor.

I loved the meteor, but the lightening that should have made me feel like I was THE MIGHTY ZEUS SMITING HIS FOES felt rather weak.

I never lasted long enough for tsunami to come off cooldown more than once.

I like it, but it feels like it needs balance.

Very neat. All 3 powers had their own use which was good. It was satisfying to see the invasion bar drop a lot when a well placed meteor hit or the tidal wave came.

I think I broke it too on my first try :D Nothing was spawning anymore. 55 Days on my second try :D I liked how you have to optimise where you use your abilities. I guess the strategy is to use them on the left since the tsunami wipes the right side :p

good job!

WOW the idea is so interesting I need to give you five star.

magicdweedoo 2022-04-06 04:20

it's fun but i think if you end up killing all the aliens a new spaceship should drop some more off so you can keep playing

Nice concept, but it could use some reward mechanic. I think that the avarage play (where you don't whipe out everyone at the beginning) last 50-80 days. Maybe with some kind of bonus to recharge faster it could be more variated.

Nice game but I think the difficulty should be adjusted... Failed to reach 50 days.

harmadillo 2022-04-07 17:54

Fun game. The abilities had enough variety to add some strategy.

etchell 2022-04-10 08:12

Cool! Loved the SFX.

Not sure how people were getting high scores, i struggled to get past day 40 consistently. Only did it twice.

I am bad a games, though.

daniel-username 2022-04-10 15:26

LOL, great idea. I really like the art style! That rotating targeting reticle is awesome. I wish it were a little more clear to me why I would choose one disaster over another, and why I should do anything but spam them as much as possible. Maybe I'm just missing something though.

riley9 2022-04-10 15:58

nice concept! reminded me back to when i was playing sim city as a kid just to destroy the city! well done :)

lesinvisible 2022-04-14 10:37

It was a fun little game, I liked the visuals and overall feel. The only thing I was wishing for is a bit more variation on the gameplay. As sometimes you just sit and wait for your cool downs restoration.

jamie-slowgrove 2022-04-17 11:58

Nice game! I love the idea and it was really fun to play, nothing beats controlling the forces of nature to destroy things! I thought the art worked really well with the gameplay and the audio fit well too. Awesome job!
