The purpose of the\r\ngame is to help the development of life on a planet.

LWJGL needs to be added to the java \r\nlibrary path to run, examples of this are in the Play*.sh files.\r\n\r\nEnjoy and rate lots of games, also kittens.\r\n\r\n@adventureloop\r\n\r\nadventurist.me \r\n\r\n\r\nPostmortem\r\nhttp:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/08\/31\/ludum-dare-24-postmortem\/<\/p>","title":"Literally; Earth Shaping"}
