Game Summary:
Mother Nature is tired of those pesky humans and their polluting ways. She has entrusted you with some of her power so you can thin the herd.
Use rain and lightning to make those climate change deniers expire!
The less you can impact the natural order the better, but Mother Nature knows that some sacrifices must be made for the greater good.
Dev Summary:
I had too many obligations this weekend to finish within the Compo, so I decided to switch to the Jam. I still didn't have time to make decent graphics or add any sound - apologies for that!
Tutorial:
The goal is to kill all of the humans by drowning or crushing them.
Click and drag a rain cloud to move it - watch the water flow!
Sewers drains halt the flow from nearby tiles.
Lightning can be used to knock over trees. Click on the tree and hold the button to aim the tree's fall. Falling trees will block the flow of water, block sewer drains, and can crush humans.
The less you move rain clouds and the fewer lightning strikes you use, the higher your score will be.
Every level can be beaten while only moving each cloud once!
POST-COMPO ADDITION:
Hold Control and mouse over a tile to see details about its flow. Normally, it will draw white lines to indicate its sources. If the line is red, the puddle is evaporating. If it's flowing into a drain, a red line will be drawn to the drain.
Controls:
Mouse (see tutorial)
R - Restart level
N - Skip level
IF THE GAME CRASHES ON START:
Install the XNA 4.0 distributable (located in 'IFCRASH' folder in .rar)
