Forest Frenzy

Description

The evil volcano gods have decided to burn your land. Use your magical powers to save the forest, summon ice, clouds and things to stop the lava and fire from spreading. But beware, the volcano gods will punish you for using nature's power and curse you with disasters! Featuring destructible environments and cool physics. Not very well balanced though.

Updated explanation (Lots of people were understandably confused)

Objective
The objective of the game is to preserve as much nature as possible, on the top right of your screen there is a green bar which signals how much flora there is left.

The red bar
The red bar bellow that indicates how close you are to triggering a disaster, it slowly fills up over time and it's also triggered by the use of your magical powers making an interesting dynamic (or so I thought) where you want to preserve your power while also trying to use them to save the forest.

The unbalanced disasters
There are three natural disasters in the game:
- Solar flare (sets a few random leaves on fire which fucks up your game)
- Global warming (makes ice melt and water evaporate)
- Bad season (plants can't grow)

Your powers
You get 4 epic powers
- Rain (summons a rainy cloud)
- Ice (makes the ice)
- Levitate (kind of moves things up in a chunk wouldn't recommend)
- Pause (stops things from happening in that chunk also wouldn't recommend)
