Depopulation

This game feels like its the first game the author ever released. It suffers from many balancing issues, the game is basically ruled by the random number generator. That said I had fun playing this game (for about 7 hours) and if you're interested in the topic, buy it when this game is on sale.

Quite simple game, but a good one.

[h1]boring, bland, unintuitive[/h1] The only good thing about this "game" is the awesome music, but that's only because Aweswan didn't make it themselves (the very first track is by TSFH). The camera control sucks. It scrolls [u]suuuuper slow[/u]... ... also, the map isn't a globe. That means the US is on the far left end and Japan on the far right end. If you wanna try to recreate WW2 and nuke Japan, you don't just cross the Pacific - you have to scroll aaaaall the way over there over the Atlantic, Europe, and Asia [u]in slomo[/u]. I swear, the stupid plane carrying the Hiroshima bomb arrived faster in Japan than my mouse cursor did... Rest of the controls suck, too: The "game" has no shortcut keys, you have to do [b]fu[b][/b]cking everything[/b] with the mouse. Graphics suck: The map is most probably from Google Images and there are no animations worth a damn. The attacks are "animated" with a few colored lines and the simplest of explosion gifs; but none of the catastrophes are animated... I mean, how cool (and easy to animate) would it have been to see an asteroid crash into the simplistic map? Speaking of the simplistic map: The game looks just plain boring. The sun's refle…

a confusing mess of game that does nothing and goes nowhere

I think the goal of the game - to show that we have to live in harmony with the environment - is a noble one. I also thing this this game falls far short of that. Your goal is to take over the world before pollution reaches certain limits. These limits appear to be arbitrary. On easy mode this game quickly turns into little more than a clicker. The interface is also very bad. Trying to find the few tiny countries you haven't taken over is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The 'happiness' requirements also don't really make much sense.
