My ludum dare 38 game!

Act as god of this little map!Create life on it, make them evolve,and meet the requirements to reach the final goal!

There's hint on the right. If you want to see the description of map tiles, try rightclick.

I think I had planned it too big. It's not quite finished, just playable. There's no sound, much to adjust and beautify but I simply don't have enough time. There may be bugs unfixed, too, and sorry about that.

GUIDE

If you got stuck or confused, here's the guide:

Place "life seed" in water, which will produce primitive life, and will unlock "light";

Place light on primitive life, they'll evolve into algae, this unlocks "earth";

Also, when primitive lives are close to algae, they're likely to evolve into fish. Fish will go toward food, which is algae and pirmitive life. With food they'll breed.

Use earth to build some place, use light to guide algae near earth, it will evolve into grass. This unlocks "rain".

Note that grass and algae dies without light, so keep the light on.

When fish are close to grass and there is no other food around in water, they'll evolve into animal on the ground.

Animal act the same as fish, but with grass as food.

Using rain on grass makes grass evolve into woods.

All steps above is a pure loss of your god power, so be careful.

If all above is done, horde and altar will be unlocked. Horde gives eternal light close to it.

When fish, animal and woods are nearby, horde will get resource from them, which also make them disappear.

Altar will use the resource of the nearest horde and restores your god power.

With enough resources horde will upgrade into village, and unlocks farm and mine.

Village will also collect resources from farm and mine, and will then upgrade into city.

With three cities, the laboratory will be unlocked. You can beat the game by placing a laboratory.
