Kill the Aborigines. Discover their secrets, steal their land.

- Explorers and Castle can explore zone. It means you must select one of them to explore new zones.
- Castle can build peoples
- People can build Castle
- You can only travel by selecting unit. If you loose track of your starting point, you have to build a new civilisation here ! ;)

I don't know the if the crash means clicking a normal block would get a bunch of moles come out and wipe out everything. I REALLY like this game. It is fun and reminds of Oasis. Look forward to a better version after compo.
This seems to have a load of potential, but it's perhaps a bit too confusing to figure out in its present state. Would love some instructions!
No enought hints in game... Here are some instructions :
- Scouts can sense monster : one will see the danger zone, two will see the number of aborigines center around ( 2xscout = classic minesweeper )
- Explorers and Castle can explore zone. It means you must select one of them to explore new zones.
- Castle can build peoples
- People can build Castle
- You can only travel by selecting unit. If you loose track of your starting point, you have to build a new civilisation here ! ;)
Hello ben :)
Good game, I love the idea of destroying the concept of an old game :)
Really liked this! If anything the world's just a bit too big, so it drags on a bit - but neat execution of a great concept.
here's the link for the version with no aborigines overload bug http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5708192/LD19%20fodnal%201.1/index.html
Hmm, so it is a confusing to play minesweeper? LOL, once I figured that out, I at least new what was going on, but pretty boring unless you like minesweeper.
I love it! Although it might need some more tweaking. Playing in medium, spawning explorers & ships makes the game easy. Also I like to see what where the enemies are going but you know that. Thumbs up!
Wow, a really really good game. Only marred by the mistake of the test version. Other than that, very well executed, polished entry.
Hats off!
Sweet game, one of the best so far! Just a bit hard to understand without instructions. Also, is there no way to scroll around the map?
I'm liking it, but I must confess that if it wasn't for the comment that you made here I wouldn't have any idea what I was doing. You really should have put that into the game itself.
Wow,...that one really fits 100% the theme! Once you get used to it it was cool! Good job!
Nice game!
Could you perhaps repost your lib? The link to pix.zip in your first post doesn't work.
Probably my favourite so far, good gameplay and fits theme very well.
