Quite enjoyed the theme even if I didn't grok the mechanic right away. Ironically, this is the second &quot;you are an evil god&quot; game that I played in a row. Who would've thought that would've become a thing.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Animation and graphics were very smooth. Sound was a little repetitive and didn't really fit the theme. Definitely could see sound and graphical special effects accompanying the floods and smitings and such. But there's only so much you can do in 72 hours.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Only complaint is that I didn't realize until about day three that you could rotate the entire map with the right mouse-button. That gave an entire new dimension (pun intended) to the game :)"},{"author_name":"JoeProgram","author_uid":"19367","time":"Aug 29, 2015 @ 11:36pm","epoch":1440891060,"text":"Tried running it, but it just crashes on my old mac, even after updating Java.

Really liked the managing of the island! A bit confusing on the resources though (there are so many &gt;.&lt;) also a log with the prayers would be nice, I lost at day 36 because I kept forgetting what my boss and all those regions asked me to do ^^;"},{"author_name":"Slashee the Cow","author_uid":"29123","time":"Aug 30, 2015 @ 3:15am","epoch":1440904200,"text":"One of the better ones I've seen this time.

Great gameplay. I have a lot of fun playing it.\r<br\/>Answering prayers was a little confusing. Most of the time I forgot what people wanted. It would have been nice to have some kind of list of prayers that need to be answered.\r<br\/>Also, while deciding to answer a prayer or not it would have been nice to be able to check the faith of the specific island to see if I really need to accept or not.\r<br\/>Overall, I enjoyed it a lot.\r<br\/>I made it to day 24.
