Ecollapse by Daniel Robledo

made by Daniel Robledo for Ludum Dare 50 (JAM)

The damage of the climate change is irreversible. The only thing you can do now is delay the inevitable. Try to delay the unavoidable as long as possible, while also keeping the stability of the planet

You will face three different disasters, all caused by the population which grows in your planet: - Drought: The heat of the factories will make the sea level fall - Snowbreak: The poles can't stand climate change anymore so they melt, causing a sudden rise in the sea level - Deforestation: The population will destroy the forests of your planet.

Each disaster requires you to use one of three elements: use water to rise up the sea level and fire to lower it, if a forest area is in deforestation, you can use the earth element to clean it.

Sometimes, the worse enemy of a planet can be its inhabitants...

Cool concept with some evolution I could see this beeing a game I could play for a longer periods of time. Some criticism that I have is that the powers would be selectabels instead of dragable and some kind of indicator to show what water level is the best. The effect of the leaf power was also kind of unclear, I did not give clear visual indication of its effect. I think it had something to do with stopping the chopping of forests.

The gameplay is kind of unclear. Others like graphic, sound and music are all great!

I played a few games and I didn't understand some parts of the gameplay. The leaf button seemed to do nothing? I am not sure but it was still fun :P I managed to last for a few minutes so that's nice.

Cool game ! The art is super cute and its a cool take on the theme. I agree with the others that the tree growth could be a bit clearer visually. Well done, feels very polished :D

I played this game and I loved:
- destroying oceans with a god-fire-beam
- pouring tsunamis over dry lands
- how cute it looks

I could as well be good without:
- no one telling me about the HP bar in the bottom right corner =)

Nice graphics, I wasn't convinced my doing anything was actually affecting the planet though?

The way the buttons work in the bottom left was a bit un-intuitive, would've expected them to work like selection buttons that switch what Mouse 1 did perhaps?

Nice idea and some great cute graphics :D A little unclear what effect the leaf has on the doom meter compared to the other elements even with the title screen tip.

As previous players said, the gameplay rules are unclear. Graphics and sound are good. I'd notice planet-friendly and cozy colorful graphics and color palette.

I like the simplicity of the game, i think the rules are very clear, but i recomended i little indicator for know how is the best for the ocean level. The art amazing, music excelent. a Great potential for publishing. please i wanna see the finish game.
