Honestly the most fun I've had all jam. I even like the elements that are BS (yes, I'm taking about the earthquakes). Still not done playing as I am yet to get to be number 1 but regardless I'm having a great time :D

Btw, who is the one random red fella?

love the way the different natural disasters stack up over time to create nearly unwinnable situations. I was most intrigued by the mystery of the 1 red NPC running around, but after they got struck by lightning I figured they probably weren't that important. Good fun time, congrats on the submission! :)

Dealing with Death

Awesome game, it's like joining a MrBeast competition. Except replace MrBeast with the wrath of god, and there is no competition since everybody loses.

I was disappointed that no help ever came in the end, but I am quite fond of stories with a sense of helplessness to it, so i quite like the twist. It would've been nice if there was some music in the background though, I like hearing the sounds of people screaming but adding a small ambient noise to it would've added a lot to the atmosphere.

It was a fun game, creative usage of the gamejam's theme. I really like that amongst the natural disasters was also the UFOs.

I was the last survivor at first round but I still lost, nobody came. T_T

I then retried but it was more difficult. Was that simple randomness or is it a difficulty curve?

Thanks for playing.

I decided to leave it purely random, but it can make some rounds easier and others impossible depending on what catastrophes you get.

Why in the world is it satisfying to see other people die before you x.x? Good job, great take on the theme!

I'm sorry about that. :)

I was having trouble reconciling why only one person could be saved, or how you would suddenly be safe from all of the disasters just because you were the last one alive. 

In hindsight, I feel like I've robbed people of their small moment of joy and satisfaction. 

Thanks for playing and commenting.

nice idea. I think if you had more time this could of been a really cool game. if you continue to work on it you should try to make the the natural disaster(obstacles) kind of work together/synergize instead of being so random. like the game.

Down to the last 8 then I drowned running away from the murderer haha. That was really fun little game -- I think I could see it being really fun if you added a tactical battle royale part where you could push other people into the catastrophes :) 10/10 would play again
