Clearly we ran out of time before we could finish what we were working on. Assets and ideas had to remain unused. But we're proud of it for what it is.
For a slightly updated/bugfixed version, and thus for the best experience, please use the web link.
-Objective- You are a god and you are bored. Crush your followers with a huge rock for your own amusement. The more you get the better.
-Instructions- Please read this part carefully and come back to it if you're left wondering what to do. Unfortunately there aren't any in-game instructions (time constraints), so this'll have to suffice:
Use your mouse for everything. Touch controls are implemented but untested.
Collect devotion (your currency) by building more followers. Reconvert doubters (the guys that are not walking), who are trying to ruin your name, by clicking on them. Don't let them fill up the doubt gauge. Buy a rock with your devotion and unleash it with a right click. To keep your little lemmings from moving out of view (which will kill them), drag and drop the tree to block their path. This will become harder the more followers you've spawned.
The secret to a high score is in not letting things get out of hand and knowing when to spawn the rock and drop it.

Two sound effects were made using samples from soundbible.com, the rest were recorded in-house. The music is a variation on "Hungarian Dance No. 5" by Johannes Brahms, made in-house as well.
We had no time to implement in-game instructions. Please read the description if you're having trouble figuring out what to do. Thanks for playing. :-)
Once I finally figured out how to play, the ending was very satisfying.
I know you didn't have time to put in-game tutorials in, but you could have explained the controls better on this page!
For those wondering, you build devotion by clicking on followers who are standing still. Don't let them wander off the screen - move the tree by left clicking and holding.
Click the button on the right to buy more followers, which will make it much easier to get more devotion.
At first I was confused how am I supposed to win, but then I figured it out, and I could do it in like the 3rd or 4th try. It's an entertaining game, if you get its goal. Anyway, the numbers are a little confusing, I don't always see how my actions affect my devotion and doubt.
