Mt Etubo by thebrickanator
(I decided to implement the theme of growing)
Stop the villagers of Beothata from sacrificing themselves to the volcanic depths of mount Etubo.
The volcano feeds and grows from the Beothata people's sacrifices and threatens to destroy the village, along with your loved ones, living there.
The bar at the top of the screen indicates how volatile/aggressive Etubo has become, and the bar at the bottom illustrates your progress through the 3 min game length. (each stage is 1 min long... its long enough :D) In the future I may add more stages.
use the WASD or arrow keys to move, and the mouse to move the view
(left mouse button is also used to fire lightning in stage 2 & 3)
use the 'esc' key to open the menu overlay.
I hope that you enjoy the game :D
Remember don't worry if you cant complete it :P it was balanced to be able to play a few times if you wanted to :D
=============== SPOILER /explanation ==============
At the end of the game (at least, when the volcano erupts) a Monster climbs out of the top showing how when the people were sacrificing themselves into the volcano they were actually helping the monster grow by feeding it, therefor causing the volcano to erupt.
This is at least how I originally intended to implement the theme but am not sure how clear it is for people to understand so I thought I should clarify it here :D

And how did you do the liquid lava? It looks very nice even though its only a small puddle and a few droplets.
Looking forward to dissecting the source code. Thanks for release it :)
It was also nice getting to hear your voice and have you personally set up the explanation for the setting of the game. Thank you so much for making this game! Great job!
Very nice game !
Good luck!
Anyway, good job!

Cool stuff to play.
Very innovative idea but need some balance and level design to be better. Continue improving this game!
The concept is pretty funny. But the gameplay can be quite frustrating, pushing people into the volcano 'by accident' *cough*, especially since you can't control your jump height. Eventually I just ended up guarding one side and shooting lightning to the other side whenever it was off cooldown.
Really like the idea of the game, and the perspective/graphics work well too.
It's a bit tricky to play at the moment - I think you need more feedback that you're getting damaged (screenshake/sound etc.) just so that it's clearer. I'm also not sure that the health part was needed? I really enjoyed fending away villagers - I think more of a focus on that part of the game would have been great.
Good job! :D
However, it's very nice. Keep up the good work.
Still, I like the concept a lot and movement also felt very good on top of the style! Nice work
The soundtrack is also great! Though I didn't like the monster fx a bit. :P
