Mother F****r Nature by valeroth

[raw]
made by valeroth for LD25 (JAM)
Humans have abused nature for far too long, now it's nature's turn to abuse them back! Control Mother Nature as she exacts her revenge on mankind by controlling the elements. Kill them all before they get to their rocket and escape! Summon comets, volcanoes, lightning clouds and tidal waves to destroy all the remaining humans!

The windows version should run straight out the zip. Navigate to YATV/YATV/bin/x86/Release/YATV to run the game in the source version.

Can't play on my mac, sorry. Mainly commenting so it leaves my page of games.

Restarting doesn't work very well, made me want to play populous again with all that control over nature.
Text is kinda hard to read.

While I have a hard time believing that Mother Nature is much of a villain, I like the concept. The game is mostly fun to play :) The text on the instructions page is a little hard to read. I also think that lightning bolts are super overpowered and that water essentially does nothing.

Also, a bug: once you complete the game, if you restart and play again, just beating the first level will cause you to win.

Probably the best name for a game I've seen yet, though not sure I would call mother nature a villain here (no points of that though). Ran into a bit of a bug where the game just kept scrolling left no matter what I did.

short, like incredibly short
and if you don't build the higher cost traps early you kinda lose the chance to later

In our tired state last night we set last level to true when starting a new game instead of false, should be fixed now. And yeh the instructions were made by me because our artist was overloaded with work, which is why they aren't great :P

Nice idea, nice gameplay. Super graphics!

Although the menu font is quite unreadable and this makes the instructions a real pain to be followed :)

I like the grafics and the sound. At first i had problems to defend, but when i managed to survive the first levels and was quite happy with that the game was over ._.

Controls took a while to get used too but overall a solid entry. Would like to see this balanced and explained a bit better though.

Really cool idea. I never saved up enough to build a volcano before it was over tho. Could have been just a little longer.

In-game graphics were really good and cudos for getting borderline nudity into your LD entry!

Good sound effects. The difficulty level was really appropriate as well.

Given the content of the game I don't really see why it needs to be a whooping 85 MB download tho.

Great game ! The main theme sounds like Karate Boy, a french tv show :)

The windows versions would not run when I tried to open the .exe

Funny stuff! After the first level I never had enough time to save up enough for anything but comets and a few tidal waves.
