Birth of the Earth by Fragsteel

[raw]
made by Fragsteel for LD29 (COMPO)
Before Earth was the garden world we know it to be, four elemental gods fought over it to forge it in their own image. You play a helpless subterranean creature who's trying to save his people from the clash of the titans.

Gather creatures and drop them off into hovels while avoiding meteors that grow into procedural fractals.

Press space to skip the introduction. Made with Game Maker 8.

I struggled to know what the controls for this game was until I realised that there were more than one screen in the intro. The last screen was a little too fast for me to read it all :( would be a nice idea to put the controls in the description?

It was a little annoying in the beginning, because you cannot go through the intro at your own pace (i.e. click next/ hit a button to transition from one screen to the other).

I had quite a bit of fun right after the intro, as I kept avoiding the earth, but then I've realised that it is not killing me so I just ignored it. Also it is a little bit annoying that there are no visual indicators whether you picked one of the little fellas up or not.

Cute little game!

This was pretty fun, It wouldve been nice to see how many of the 23 I had rescued though. I wasn't sure how close I was at any time so it reduced the tension considerably near the end.

Cute story. Could use some sounds. Had issues with some slow down at points.

Good effort with the story, and the game was very pleasant to play (although it was a bit slow).
I really liked the way the gods' attacks looked with all those geometric patterns. Good job!
