Mother Earth: Failed Planet

The more people there are, the worse the planet is doing.

#### And also the worse the game laggs.

Gameplay

You are *Mother Earth* and you have a disease: Humans
Try to rid yourself of the infestation with Tornadoes and Earthquakes.

Tornadoes can be activated in the top right corner; the arrows indicate the width of the tornado.
They are great for killing all humans who are in the area.

Earthquakes are triggered by clicking on the gray bars at the bottom.
They can destroy buildings which are spawned by groups of humans.

Controls

Key	Action
A, H, left_arrow	move camera left
D, L, right_arrow	move camera right
Q	quit the game

Otherwise use the mouse to click on the above mentioned sections.

Win / Lose conditions

There are win and lose conditions in the game, although triggering them is the difficult part.
The game is not balanced correctly at all.
#### Win condition
Kill all humans.
#### Lose condition
You lose when the map is filled with buildings (which will never happen, due to a bunch of issues).

Development Info

The Game is written in Ruby version 2.4.2 using the Gosu game library.
It should work with Ruby version 2.1.9 and up though.

Sadly we couldn't implemented all the features (and almost no textures) we had planned to, I still wanted to upload it though because it was our first Ludum Dare.
We had a lot more plans for it but I wasn't able to implement it all, and my partner wasn't able to finish all the textures, so you mainly get placeholder textures.

I still had a lot of fun making this game.
Hopefully I can use what I have learned in this jam to create a better (and finished) product next time.

I hope at least some of you will have some fun fooling around with the (terrible) mechanics and watching those puny little humans get swirled around in tornadoes which will lead to their inevitable deaths.
