Chaotic God by wilverine

[raw]
made by wilverine for LD24 (COMPO)
You are God. You need to hide dinosaur bones in the rock strata to fool the paleontologists into believing the Earth is more than 4000 years old. Because that's just the kind of God you are. Chaotic God.

This is an HTML5 game. Works best in Chrome - I haven't tested anything else.

The link is to the uploaded, versioned game. You can see the git sha in the URL, corresponding to the version on github.

The source link points to where you can download the LD48 tagged source code (same version).

I didn't quite get what to do. I placed the bones in the little miners path, and also not in the miners path and I failed both times. Maybe it's a quip on creationists, not believing either way. haha

Didn't want to make it too easy :) You can win, but you have to really go crazy with those dinosaur bones. Those pesky paleontologists are pretty difficult to fool.

Space scrolls down the page too, so it was a bit hard to play, I had to refocus all the time (Chromium 21 here). Either way, it's probably too hard :P

Ah yes. I'm kicking myself for not having tested it in a smaller browser window. Such a simple thing to miss!
My friend played it before the deadline and essentially said it was too hard. It was too late to change it though. So that's lesson number 1 for me. Great stuff.

Funny, heard the same song in another entry :)

Interesting way to present the evolution/creation idea.

Kind of a fast game, but hilarious (and unique) theme. I won on the second try and wasn't too hard, just had to click back and forth pretty fast since the paleontologist seems to just follow the same path. Definitely 5 stars for humor though.

Thumbs up to the paleontologist sprite, that guy was an adorable 8bit mining machine. Good fun idea, enjoyed it

I couldn't find any rocks to hide the dinosaur bones in.
