==STORY==

One day, as I had done millions of times prior, I created a tiny little world. I, Mighty, being as generous as I am powerful, elected to create a happy people to inhabit my world. However, as time passed, they split into various savage tribes. Ignoring my teachings, they instead prayed for trivial concerns and ill will to their neighbors as they fought an endless and pointless struggle to wipe each other from existence.

At first it was amusing, but eventually I had to act or my genius creation would destroy itself. Fueled by their offerings pillaged from their wars, I used my power for placing trees, raising mountains, even reaching down to physically drag them apart. I vowed to keep them apart at all costs until they could evolve to reach the enlightenment I had envisioned for them.

I, Omnipotent Mighty, will not accept failure.

pretty interesting strategy game.

Cool idea, reminded me a lot of Populous. I decided that the red people were my chosen ones, and spent a couple games trying to eradicate the others, but could never finish before the game was done. Or was i supposed to keep them alive as the games seemed to finish close to when I destroyed one color. The ai could have been improved a little as the people often ran to and sat in the corners, and I felt like the land placing was a little overshadowed by being able to move people, but all in all pretty cool.

I made everyone happy, which was satisfying. Then I played again, but chose a tribe and made them conquer all, and that was even better. :)

This was a really enjoyable game! Pleased my little dominion finally found enlightenment.

While the bar at the bottom was super helpful telling me what obstacles I could place, I found it got in the way sometimes towards the bottom of the map. An option to collapse/uncollapse would have helped there I think.

Graphics are cute and consistent throughout. The frustrated running anim as they tried to break into each others territory gave me a good chuckle. The little people have a lot of personality for a few pixels!

Had a lot of fun, great game!

A bit complicated, but looks so great!

Excellent graphics and nice sounds! Is there any objective or are you just supposed to play around?

Took me a second to pick up the concept, but really nice game.

Awesome idea! I only wish I had more divine tools to show these tiny creatures my true greatness!

Interesting concept. I didn't try the second map but the first one seemed a bit too easy to block off two of the pathways and then watch the remaining two tribes carefully until I made a wall between those two. Regardless I like the game and the concept!
