This idea is quite interesting. Too bad you didn't have more time.

Impressive prototype for starting with only 14 hours left. Reminds me of "From Dust".

Very good idea, but really needs better controls.

@matthias_zarzecki As you see..I managed to get in a bunch more levels, energy bars, different walk speeds and recovery rates for tribes people etc as we all had a 12 hour extension ^_^

@Hanoran Thank you... yes, it was very inspired from this game, my friend bought it the other day for xbox360 so this was an attempt to create a simplified version in 48 hours lol

@Lattyware Yes, I kinda agree but if you keep playing controls do get easier ^_^ (I wish I'd had time to make the camera collide with the ground).

It's very hard to control the camera and the people. I wish that you've made the people bigger and easier to click & select. It's hard to see too when you zoom out. The idea is very interesting though but, the game is barely in a playable state imho.

Good work on this, using 3d in Flash10 takes courage.
Overall it seems like a promissing start.. Were there supposed to be enemies?

@elbowroom - Thanks, Nope, there were never to be enemies. The rising flood water is the only thing detrimental to the survival of the tribes.

cool idea, interesting implementation, although controls are wonky. gameplay is a bit eventless.
would love to see an extended version :)

@matthias_zarzecki: It just runs slow on my computer, so I have plenty of time, too bad it's too slow.

My CPU craps itself when running this game. Can't run, can't rate =X

Would love this game to control a bit smoother, cause it kinda feels like a lo-fi "From Dust" (which is a good thing :p )

Nice concept. It would have been great if you developed it further.

Great graphics, great idea. It would have been even better had you used dragging instead of clicking, that way the player doesn't have to spam clicks to get things done. Awesome start though!

It's a pity. My browser just froze (Firefox 6, Flash 10 on Win7 64 w/ AMD HD5670)
