Nice idea. Reminds me of simplified and RNG-ified "Black and white". Very relaxing atmosphere. I would suggest toning down the influence of randomness a bit, as it sometimes just feels unfairly impossible, but great job otherwise.

I really like the concept! I had a similar problem with fire completely decimating everybody. The way I won was by grilling everyone and then basically waiting for the population to creep up by themselves.

But I think with the right tweaks this could grow into something really fun.

Funny idea!

Really really cool concept, I could see how this could become a bigger game with more complexity. Didn't see too many god games in the jam, so I think it's pretty unique in that way. The controls and movement might have need a little work, but that definitely didn't get in the way for me. Keeping the balance in the world with a chance of good or evil actions is a fascinating concept. Can't wait to see how this game evolves!

I would appreciate if your team would check out my submission and provide any feedback you have, I am trying to gauge interest to see if I should continue further development too!

I love the caos on your game, gj!

sometimes the textures lag and sometimes freeze, but the idea with the hands and balances of people is interesting and unique, I sincerely wish the authors good luck.

thanks for feedback.

The game lacks some balancing: the population can go up or down quite exponentially. Still an interesting idea that we do not see often, well done

Could use some balance tweaks - I could only really affect the population with a fire, but then it completely decimated it - but really cool concept!  Not a lot of 'god games' going around anymore, I feel like the last one I played was Black and White 2

This is a really cool game! I love the games where you play god and it looks like a strategy game. The way you used the dice was ultimately really intriguing! I had 171 people born and still lost. I didn't understand that. Maybe it was because I didn't play as the devil? I didn't know you could switch. Maybe there could be something easily noticeable that says press this to switch. Overall awesome game! Thank you for making it!
