Disaster Island

Developed during the 2020 GameJam. Theme: Out of Control

Credit to drjamgo@hotmail.com for creating the graphics.

Grow your population on Disaster Island! The island will constantly shift by rising out of or falling into the water,  and there's a risk of fires! Your job is to place the resources used by the inhabitants, they go away fast though so stay on your toes!

If you have issues with scaling on the Mac or Windows version, please download the version for Mac or Windows. Those are working fine!

Instructions

The goal is to get the largest population possible.

The bushes provide a little food source for the population, until they can grow wheat. The trees provide wood, that is used to build all buildings. An abundance of both will grow houses that in turn increase the population. The stones can be used to remove fires or blocking the water.

Choose the resource with the 1, 2, 3 number keys, place with F and remove an placed item with G.

Tip: Make sure to rebuild the bushes start of the game to gain a lot of food. Late-game you'll notice that wood is more desirable. Place resources close to the houses that collects them.

The "AI" will build:

- Houses, that increases the population levels.

- Woodcutter hut, that cuts wood

- Berry Collectors, that collects berries

- WheatFarm, spawns wheat fields that gains food

The game is quite fast-phased, so try to keep up :)

Disasters

Rain will make the lake grow bigger and shrink the shorelines. 

Hot weather will make the lake shrink and grow the shorelines. There is also a risk of fires.
