Developer's Notes
This was a mini-project built in pico8 in just over a week. Bugs and programmer art may both be present in no small measure.
I managed to dig up the p8 cartridge. If you've enjoyed this game and want to download it you can!

this game is the BEST strategy of the type of games that are literally a few moments
This game is really addicting
Thanks! Hopefully it was a fun sort of addiction.
Island Gods was great! I am trying out a paper prototype inspired by this right now. Unfortunately hit some bugs that wouldn't let me move units anymore and it got in the way of my victory. Nonetheless, will be back to play some more.
Really glad you liked it! Do let me know if you get a paper version working, I'd love to see it.
Thanks for the report, I'll try to reproduce this bug once I have some time and see if I can fix it.
I enjoyed this a lot. It was easy to understand, but it took some thought in order to win. It would be nice if you could use the mouse to move your people.
Ahh this is so fun and cute!
