[raw]
made by testlab for LD 43 (JAM)

​You are building a village in the years of the god Zanos. Create buildings and take villagers and assign them to their work. But Zanos demands sacrifices, or his anger will shake the grounds you are building on.

I didn't have enough time to add a tutorial so i will do so here:

Tutorial:

​- Assign villagers to work. assign<em>villagers</em>to_work.gif

  • Create a house to get 2 new villagers. build<em>house</em>small.gif

  • Create a farm for food production. Can take up to 2 workers. build_farm.gif ​​

  • Build a forester to produce wood. Takes 1 worker. build_forester.gif

  • Let villagers pray and sacrifice food for the god Zanos villagers_praying.gif ​​

As the god's happiness decreases, deasters will happen more frequently.

  • Poisoned Villagers ​villagers_poisoned.gif

  • Earthquakes ​earthquake.gif

Neat game! It took me a few tries to figure out how to get a good flow of villagers, but after that it went well. Good use of theme!

The simple polygon graphics are really nice and basic the mechanics work well. It would be nice if there was more feedback on what was going on with the disasters and some sort of warning so players know "uh-oh, Zanos is about to be angry."

Solid idea. I missed some feedback so I could know what was going on. I've lost many villagers but didn't notice until it was too late 😅. But overall, I think it's really neat.

Hi, this is a cool game for the time you had to do it.
I liked the balance of building and sacrifice.
I would have loved to see a little bit more action.
If you have the time please go and checkout my game. It is a castle defense game.

Good job

It was quite good, at first I got confused about the controls, but after I got everything sorted the game was quite fun!

Looks really good! Unfortunately I couldn't get the game to run. :( (No error message, or window appeared at all - win10).

I like the game. The only thing missing is some info like when the food is used on sacrifice or having buttons disabled when you don't have the recurred wood/food. You could also add an indicator for people who aren't doing anything.
Overall really nice entry ;)
