Ok, this was actually pretty good.

It was a bit challenging to get the right balance of population, so I had a laugh when on my first try the silly vermin just wouldn't stop multiplying no matter how much pain and suffering I caused, hahahaha.

Managed to win on my second try. Almost didn't make it, but small earthquake saved my bacon.

Hi, please play my game and rate accordingly.

The idea is really creative and a funny concept. I like the mechanic of throwing the dice using the mouse. Had a good laugh.

That's a really creative pun you made with the game jams theme! :) (However it seems that in your game, god does indeed play dice! :P)

The graphics all look really nice and hand crafted too!

My main two feedback points would be that the screen can sometimes look very overloaded with all the people running around, and that I always felt like I was lacking fine control over what was happening in the game. One burn from Satan could wipe out the whole population or it felt like the evil dice would do nothing at all to an overfull population - so it felt like there was no inbetween sometimes! (But I mean, I get it, its RNG afterall!)

thank you for the feedback. 

the screen getting overloaded and the frantic nature of the game are more or less by design to make players be always on their toes otherwise it would get old super fast. glad you enjoyed the game.

That's sooo creative!! Loved the take on the jam theme! Got to win one match after 3 tries! I think  that's a reasonable gameplay difficulty :D

I didn't quite understand how to roll the dice, but the human anthill looks funny!

Thanks for trying to play our game at least :D
To roll the dice you need to hover over the hand, press it, drag and then release. The speed of your dragging motion will determine the speed of the dice when its thrown.

thx! =)

Love the spin on the typical god simulator. Trying to find that balance between good and evil was difficult, and a little janky at times, but an interesting mechanic

Very creative idea. Even though it's basically an RNG simulator, I kept playing to see different outcomes. Trying to keep the balance is really fun. I also love the effects for storm, earthquake etc. Great work.

Cool concept, would be great if there was more control over over the game rather than it being purely random based on the dice, makes it more of a spam throw dice as either side.

This game concept is very creative and unique, you could probably have an option to increase the amount of game time from one minute to something like 3 minutes!

That was HALARIOUS!

Nice take on the theme! Very chaotic and fun :)

Nice game. I like the concept; could use a lot more polish

Haha this was a fun experience, seeing everyone run around - "where the hell did all these people come from?!" - I'm not exactly sure what the "balance" was though.. the meter in the top right didn't make much sense to me and a lost twice. Rolling was also a bit glitchy, and the dice either went where I wanted or yeeting into oblivion.

Still, the itch page is the best one I have seen! Well done on that background.

Overall, well presented and a pretty creative base. Thanks for submitting!

Everyone is on Fire! cool game had a hard time keeping the balance

I like this game a lot. Frantically casting dice into the world because OH MY GOSH WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PEOPLE is really funny. 

Submitted(+2)

Very fun! I love the idea. Being able to balance the world being the devil and God is super fun haha! Art is really cute too. Great work!

Amazing game. Costed me a little to get what i had to do and i had to loose one complete game to get it, but the idea is very creative. Acting as the devil or god, consdiering that some actions are more devastating than others (like fire), i really liked it and think it's really interesting to try to keep balance.


id also appreciate some feedback in my game if u have time :)
