Tips and Tricks

  • For faster placing of elements you can change the brush size of your god brush
  • For precision placing you can pause the game and place elements while its paused
  • If you are stuck think outside the box but everything should be quite logical, except the creation of animal (it has to do with cacti).

There's a lot of content for the time. I would play this on mobile. I enjoyed figuring stuff out. Great entry. One bug I noticed was that you place an element when you close the help box.

Good game :)

At first I tried to understand, but quickly the screen became a mess of pixels. I had a lot of fun trying the newly acquired possibilities and then applying lightning or lava on top of it.

Very cool simulation type game, I think more player feedback as to whats happening would be a nice improvement.

Great game surprised how much you fit in there in such a small amount of time. You did a great job I especially like that you threw an egg in there. Would of just liked more space as I filled it up quickly but maybe I shouldn't of kept using the biggest brush haha

Great game! Was good fun figuring out how elements interact. Some way of destroying placed elements for good might have helped prevent the player from running out of space.

I'm impressed with this. There's a lot of depth here and the liquid simulation is pretty good! This is definitely something you could play over and over. Nice job!

Wow! This game definitely hit the Ludum Dare theme. Very nice graphics and physics. I wish there wew more area to create, size of the scree is too small.
Good game!

Thank you all for the feedback,

@badoomtch yeah I should have locked the placements of stuff when the help box was active, i added it really late and didnt have time to polish it too much.

@yeti-kid @theufo yeah the screen size could have been slightly bigger, but when the screen was filled with stuff while big, the game started lagging slightly, so I felt i had to make the game feel smooth for most players. The simulations are not the most efficient as i just made it work in 48h. Then I thought maybe it is a good challenge to unlock every element in the limited space. Thats why there is no remove funktion but maybe that was a bad call.


@hamzalk You start the game with only two elements water and earth. then you unlock more by placing these. The next element is stone and it unlocks with lots of dirt on top of each other, I believe it is 5 earth to create the pressure for stone.

I played your game on stream, as you said earlier "there is no remove function, because its a good challenge"
Yeah, but you can make bigger space for placing some elements :D I don't know how to unlock life, but at least I unlocked cacti :3

Fun! I created some post-apocalyptic landscape. Metal was the hardest to come by for me, I think I basically smashed things together so not sure how exactly makes it. Cool to have each pixel have certain properties and have them react with each other. Nice job!
