Another excellent little game has turned up, Aah Little Atlantis, another 80 points spent. Now, it's pretty complex, have a screenshot.
Well, it's not that complex, just a little daunting at first. It's a strategy (almost puzzle) game, then. Your aim is to rescue all the Atlanteans from Atlantis which (oh noes!) is sinking. Well, you can kill them all too if you like... Let's assume you want to rescue them though, you have 25 turns to do it. Each turn you flood one piece of land, and then launch a meteor, preferably not at an Atlantean, please. The Atlanteans and their boats then move.
Atlanteans move based on where you flooded, they're afraid of the flooding so they move a square away if they can. If they can't move away though, they will move a square closer, everyone moves exactly one space every turn. The sea may stop them moving away, another Atlantean might be in the way, or the land might prevent them moving away. They can only move one height up or down from where they are now, in this order:
Sandbar > Beach > Grass > Woods > Mountains > Meteors
So if they're on grass, they can only move to the beach or the forest. Every five turns, the lowest land is flooded by the sea, and everyone on it drowns, until the mountains are eventually flooded and we see who you've rescued. If an Atlantean is by a boat or a raft when a turn ends, they'll automatically go there.
So, as God, it's up to you to flood squares of land to ferry your Atlanteans to higher ground, and eventually get them on to meteorites, they're safe on those because they never sink. You've got to make sure they stay on those meteorites too, they'll hop off again if you have a turn and there's nowhere else for them to go. There are also boats to ferry them into which can hold four people, and you can make rafts by flooding a square with a tree on, rafts can only hold one person.
You can see the graphical style is basic, but it's charming and works really well. The music is excellent too and the tutorial, which I recommend, is funny. It says at the end of the overview tutorial that you can ignore the rest, but it's not advisable!
There's tons to watch out for with every move you make, it's just an excellent little strategy title, I've never played anything like this before.
Buy me!
