Aurum is a game about 2 different views of the same world where interaction in 1 player's world impacts the other player's world. Some elements are only visible to the player (houses and flowers), but are still affected by the other player's actions.
Consider Hosting and waiting if there are no available games! Or simply play solo, but you won't experience the "connected worlds" theme in solo mode.
Objective: Plant 3 golden trees 1) Plant flowers 2) Push ground next to flowers to grow trees 3) 6 trees around flower = golden tree
Cool little game, I haven't play multiplayer yet, but one thing that you could add is ability to move the planet more freerly maybe even zoom on things. Overall a very solid game.
@lonewookie! Conveying rules in these kind of games can be challenging, especially with the time constraint. Glad you like the idea! :)
@fallingBear! I'm glad I re-enabled local test mode! Multiplayer games in a compo like this are hard to coordinate, but it adds some fun and new mechanics (like popping trees out)! I totally have the script in game to orbit and zoom on the planet, but I disabled it at the last minute because the controls just weren't quite there. Needed more time. :)
That was really well executed! It would be cool if I could rotate the planet in all directions though. Very innovative and this can definitely be expanded to have many more things to build! Great job!
Really neat idea! I'm a sucker for anything pertaining to planets, so you've got my vote. :) Was unable to host a game for some reason, and waited around for someone else to host - no luck. Definitely got a sense of the how the gameplay would work from the solo mode though, good idea oputting that in.

For what matter the house?
And a sound would be great!
The puzzle is really simple :/
