Based on the web version, it looks like a fun game. Could use a button to skip tutorial. Might have been one, but I didn't find it.

I liked the web version, so I bought it for Linux. I did not realize until trying to install that it was an Adobe AIR installation. AIR is defunct, and no one has ported a later version than 2 years ago to Linux. I can usually find very good Linux games, with great support. This was severely disappointing. When your Linux install no longer functions or is installable, it isn't right to still have up the download.

I do not recommend any other Linux user downloads. I will check back. When or if this changes and becomes usable, I will change my rating.

Loved Populous back in the day and this has given an old fav a new lease of life.

Lovely game, like an unofficial sequel to Populous.
Plenty of levels and different powers to try out with a pleasing chiptune soundtrack.
Only complaints are that terraforming the land can be a bit fiddly sometimes and the graphics are a bit too simple meaning that it's not always quite clear what's going on.

Idea of games is superb, but Adobe Air makes it total crap
Отличная идея - хромающая реализация.

If you didn't enjoy Populous in the first place then you won't be enjoying this either.

Pros.

Cons.
-Clunky, bad controls
-Hard to see where are you placing things
-You wether like or hate the art style
-Art style

Shameless Populous rip-off, but the retro graphics and 8-bit somehow make the game feel fresher.
