About Land Above Sea Below
https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1922020/extras/lasb-play-now.gif
Immerse yourself in the tranquil world of the eternal autumn, where your goal is to build and expand your self-built island as wisely as possible to avoid being washed away by the ever-rising sea levels. Land Above Sea Below is a fine-tuned mixture of the landscape builder, puzzle, and strategy genre, with fun and constantly challenging gameplay, yet with a nice and calm atmosphere.
Your imagination is the only limit - from the infinitely available, procedurally generated tiles you can build the island of your dreams. Build majestic forests, cascading rivers, and lovely villages.

Synergies can be created throughout properly placed groups of tiles, so your entire island can be positively affected by the placement of a single tile. Keeping this in mind from the very beginning of the game is a must.
A forward-looking strategy is the key to success. With careful planning, you can place similar tiles that interact with each other in their best possible location. These interactions result in a height increase and award you with valuable points that can be transferred to essential aids during the game. By achieving certain score points, you can unlock different rewards, like extra steps in the season, a sea level decrease, or even a new Tree of Fall.

The flood is coming at the end of every season. You need to ensure that your island - or at least your starting tile on which the Tree of Fall grows, is at a safe distance from sea level.

Features
- Procedurally generated tiles - you will have infinitely available, procedurally generated tiles that you can lay on the map. This method ensures, that every island you create, and every new game you play, will be unique, and unrepeatable. Autumn groves, rivers, rocky mountains, forests, villages, and sea items will inhabit your map.
- Island extensions - as you progress in expanding your island and exploring undiscovered areas on the map, you might bump into lonely, tiny islands. If you connect your main island to them, these islands (its tiles) will be attached to your land.
- Infinite gameplay mode - your goal is to keep the Tree Of Fall alive. As long as this tile is above sea level, the game continues. The length of the game only depends on how long can you survive.
- Minimalistic style - we deliver precisely handcrafted beautiful biomes in the game, with the minimalistic style that we love so much.

Its pretty frustrating to place a tile down and it instantly tells you AFTER its about to sink, with no undo button without a card. after a few hours, I still can't understand how they determine if tiles are about to sink. It could be my last tile of the season, I place it down, and instantly now 3 are about to sink? why? I don't have a clue.3 found this helpful
I really enjoy this game, how it looks, and the gameplay loop; however, the game often crashes on launch or while closing. it is hard to recommend a game that is hard for me to launch to play.
Fun lil game. Lacks replay value. I'd say skip it unless you're really into these kinds of logic puzzles or if it's on sale.
a nice little city builder if you just want to relax a little. good if you want to play a game for half an hour and don't want something too involving. plays like a board game, luck of the draw is a factor, and some simple strategy.
It's beautiful, and relaxing, and clearly made with love... ...but it is totally lacking in any explanation of many game mechanics. Why do some tiles sink when at the same height as others that don't? Why is the game end criteria the flooding of your tree and yet the game just ended with my tree still miles out of the water? Why can't I lay in certain tiles despite not being blocked by rivers, debris or otherwise? I'm sure someone could answer all of these questions if I trawl YouTube for long enough but the fact the game doesn't even recognise these functions let alone explain them is very off-putting.
its pretty easy and fun if u understand the mechanics of the game
