The games got an interesting feel, though I think it appeals more to peoples aesthetics than actually being mechanics driven.  It's an interesting game, that might have been better with polish, but I stuggled to find the fun.  I dug a deep hole, dropped a bunch of fires down, then focused on the move command to send mutants to the surface, while everyone else just milled around.  Will look forward to your next LD game.

After I gave up trying to herd the cavemen into the tunnels to keep them out of the radiation, I ended up hollowing out a huge cavern and filling almost every tile with fire, 'cause I couldn't think of a reason not to.  The cavemen slowly did their own thing and either filled my cavern or didn't.  I made it to around 30 citizens, then learned I could place fires in the sky.\nThen I gave up.\nI dunno, it seems like it needs something more.  Like, it's more of a little simulation than a proper game.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Chartman","author_uid":"1057595","time":"2017-12-12T04:32:27Z","epoch":1513053147,"modified":1513053147,"text":"Nice artwork and animations.

However, I did not play it for too long because of the panning glitch. The screen would pan every time I tried to use any tool, not just pan, and it made progress annoying. I'm guessing that you forgot to cancel defaults maybe? With that fixed, and maybe a drag or \"area\" size tool would make this game much more enjoyable to play. Also, a little sound would make it pop. A quick atmospheric track would do and a few sfxr made effects would do.\n\nAnyways, my Compo game is over here, if you want to have a look: https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/40\/squirrel-puncher-4000 ","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Zirrrus","author_uid":"1009134","time":"2017-12-20T08:05:14Z","epoch":1513757114,"modified":1513757114,"text":"Cool little game, really felt a bit like watching an anthill.
