Part RPG character creator, part god game terraforming, part gif recorder.

Arguably more a toy than a game, but I'm never sure that distinction is very helpful.

Consistently gorgeous. I found myself mesmerized by the reflections in particular. The gif creator is very cool.

Really cool. Love the 3d pixel low color aesthetic. I enjoyed the randomize function, I think it would be interesting if there was some less granular controls that make changing the entire scene a bit easier. Something like "raise mountains" or "increase water" or a color slider that changes all the colors.

Lovely. Just wish there were some moody ambient music. Every island I generated made me want to go play Myst. :)

Woah looks cool. I like hitting the random button and watching the environment melt.

A bit difficult to rate since I'm used to rate things with a bit more gameplay =P

This looks really cool though and is really rather unique. Haven't seen anything like it around here yet. Nice job.

It took me a bit to understand how to use this tool, but once I did I found it really fun to create my own islands and worlds. The randomizer was a really cool feature and watching the island transform into something new was just amazing. I agree with your point that its more of a toy than a game but doesn't make it any less fun. Good Job

I played with this for quite a while...mesmerized for sure.

Edit: Please make this work with a higher resolution.

This. Now this is what jams are for. This as you say is more "toy" than game but holy shit this is great. You have an excellent eye for style. The way the islands morph and generate when you hit random and the ability to customize them yourself is awesome. I am a huge sucker for this. Big ups.

So cool looking. Definitely agree with Marchmain: Would love some ambient music to go with the very pretty visuals.

Super cool! The presentation of this is fantastic. Randomizing and tweaking the islands feels and looks great. Being able to save out GIFs is very clever and adds lasting value! I love it.

Thank you for Lofoten, the presentation's lovely and so engaging. I made a few gifs and wallpapers
You inspired me to make something similar but with an exploration aspect, I'll tag you on twitter when I'll have a prototype

It's a very difficult entry to rate, since there's no gameplay. But that's not a problem, since i'm blown a way by the graphics. Good work!

Definitely more of a toy. I thought the aesthetics and the UI were well done.
