I like the concept of the game and the little details like the factory animation and the constent changing of the tempture have a lots more protential, I hope it could have more stuff and more mechanic that allows people to control the progress.
I was a bit confused at what to do at first, and I think there was a bit little to do during the game, but I really like the idea of a countdown to the end of humanity, and I thought the graphics although simple looked really nice, and the music too. Also my favourate thing to do was see the tempurature go up that was really cool :)
Interesting game with great music. Easy to just pick and play. Good job.
Great game Well done
Please rate my game Flip it
A very simple yet addictive mechanic! Does temperature affect the resources in any way?
No,
but all the buildings affect the temperature.
I really enjoyed the music!!
Thank you :)
Interesting game, great job!
Nice game! After couple of tries i managed to got to year 2171, enough for me to live through lol
Good Job!
wow
I like the art style of the cards, and music is nice. It was actually funny, because why would you give away the future of humanity into my hands? (I chose the nuke omg). Great game!
My first play through I focused only on getting money and power and ended at 1940. Then I tried to see how late I could last and made it all the way to 2060
Fun meditation on the pros and cons of technological progress
Playing for the second time is the best compliment! Even if this game clearly suggest second playthrough I was afraid that people wouldn't bother. Thank you :)
The guy at the timer and the event cards look very cool! I initially thought the buildings on the left affected the temperature, so I placed them in the hottest areas — then I discovered the rules button, which I somehow managed to skip at the start.
But aside from that, I really enjoyed it!
They do affect the temperature. They raise it up!
And the timer is directly connected to the temperature. The faster it rises, the faster it goes down. There is nothing about this in the rules, because I wanted to make it a side effect of your action more than a explicit mechanic. The real aim of the game is to not destroy earth, at least for me.
