For a couple of dollars it's a worthwhile experience. Just turn it on and let it go while you are working or doing something else and occasionally note how the world is changing. I would like to see some more options to adjust the frequency of events or even turn some of them off, but even without them it's fairly entertaining. Quick warning: If you set the tiles to 40x40 it can take a toll on your frame rate. If that bothers you for this type of game (slow panning, laggy gameplay, etc.) you'll want to keep it below 900 tiles^2 The gameplay is simple to non-existent as advertised. You can sort of intervene in events by triggering volcanoes, comets, zombie outbreaks, fires, etc. There is a surprising amount of depth to these events given the appearance of the game and the authors own descriptions. Some events can send clouds of ash high into the air which will spread on the wind and settle down. The ash will sicken the inhabitants of the world, destroy crops, and generally make life harder. Water tables and the landscape can be completely reshaped by earthquakes or comets and fires can get out of control and consume entire civilizations. Overall this is the kind of game that you can turn on and forget, or if you let your imagination wander a bit, you can come up with numerous stories surrounding the civilizations as they rise and fall with the sun.

This is a nice experience. It's kind of like a screen saver you can interact with. I enjoy having it on while I'm working, or otherwise occupied. It's neat to check in and see civilizations in their infancy, or massive empires destroyed by earthquakes. How the natives must tremble as meteors rain down upon them; how such grand armies perish beneath clouds of volcanic ash. Just as the world recovers from such violent upheaval, an elegant rainbow illuminates under the cool oceanic rain. There's an astonishing amount of depth. The inhabitants of the world appear to be governed by a need for space and food. They plant crops and expand their territories through exploration and conquest, and each individual being has their own needs. They have mothers and fathers. They eat, sleep, age, reproduce and die under the eyes of the great, perception-less, omnipresent being they may call their God; whom we would know as ourselves. Precipitation and thunderstorms follow what could be interpreted as fronts, as they wrap their way around pressure systems created by the warmth of the sun and the cool of the night; the clouds perceptively generated by moist air from evaporated seas and lakes. It's pretty neat. I recommend it. You do have to use your imagination, as the graphics are very primitive. This doesn't hurt the experience, but rather pushes you further into observation of this charming application. It MUST be observed to be fully appreciated. Also the dev is still working on it and responds to things well......that's always good.

A neat game, really fun

nice world/weather/civ simulator. Enjoyable to just watch

Review: This game, despite me not playing it that long at the time I wrote this, is truly what I came for. Watch little people build little civilizations and let nature do the work for you. I personally love to just watch them build little farms and have random conflicts. Note for Developer(s): This game needs more control over the world in my opinion, an example is to speed up civilization. I cannot expect you to do any of this, however, as I am already loving the game. Edit: Thank you Developers for making more control over the world. I often AFK in this game and come back after a while to see what is going on, then make a little story in my head about these people. This is a PERFECT game if you just want to watch little people make things and try to survive in their areas.

Really neat little sandbox. A bit passive, but you can have some fun stuff and there aren't many games like this.

This is a impressive game. when i was doing my first impressions video the volano got angry and went BOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!! one suggestion for the developer can we have some more control over the game

A very fun game to watch develop overtime with pretty good environment simulation. Amazing active development. I've seen before that something to make the fsp better is on the list of things the developer is gonna do, so no complaints there. Some things I do think should be added are simple animals and a tad more culture in the civilizations if possible (do as you please). Other than those, the routine optimizations and tweakings of the game are nice to see. Great game, good job, have a wonderful time P.S.: I did forget to mention that forest fires and other natural disasters wipe out the whole map of the civilizations really quickly.

Neat little game. I was surprised by the fact that the game has full-fledged water cycle that feels quite natural. If I had two gripes with it is that the simulation seems to be pretty taxing on larger map sizes and the empires that pop up randomly don't feel as alive as the nature. I enjoyed what there was for the price though, and I would pay more for more content.

Отличный симулятор бога, без всяких ограничений и челенджей. Здесь вы полноценный бог. Желаю разработчику создать похожую игру, но получше, это будет отличная замена ВорлдБоксу
