How does your game represent Mode?
When I heard the theme of the jam was "mode", I knew I had to go BIG with "God Mode". Shortly after, we set out to make a Black & White inspired god / colony sim game!
Often in these games you assign workers to various jobs. In our game we made it more tactile, where you have to manually grab them and squeeze them to change their "mode" between: harvest wood, harvest rock, harvest food, defend, and build mode.
Lastly, the name of the game "MEDO" is also an anagram of "Mode"! It's also what you'll here them chant occasionally (chanting, hopping, and other SFX are sync'd with the music for extra funs).
Hope you enjoy our game :)

Dang this was my most anticipated game of the jam but I also can't get it to start on my 1080 TI. Will be looking out for the graphics setting update. Looks and sounds awesome on the menu screen!
Hey, I'm sorry: Your game looks like it's very cute and interesting, however my laptop is literally using 100% of it's memory and about 50% of the time I get a fatal error when I try to open a new game...
I won't rate your game, since I haven't really played it, but please consider tuning some memory down be having lower default graphic settings and unloading some of the terrain while you are not looking at it!
I see that you are ambitious and definitely keep that up (but please consider the gamers without hardware from the last 3 years)
Hey Japu! Thanks for trying it out, sorry it didn't run for you. We are hoping to add graphic settings in a future update, but sadly didn't get them in for the jam :(
I’ve never played Black & White but I did enjoy Virtual Villagers as a kid and this reminds me of it! The ability to directly choose what you want each Medo to do without moving it to any particular location is great. Pleasant atmosphere. My only gripe is that the map is definitely too large—I never looked at any of the land behind where the camera starts and a lot of my Medo would aggregate all the way at the coast when I ran out of food storage, and it’d take a long time to navigate all the way over there to get them to do something else.
Thank you for playing! And also for your feedback - I agree the map was too large for this version of the game.
I like the concept and aesthetic, unfortunately I wasn't able to do much because the resolution was bigger than my monitor.
Thank you for checking it out! Should have graphics settings added in a future update.
The art style looks so cute
Thank you :)
The game is beautiful and has a blissful atmosphere. Everything is simple and explained clearly. I also like that it can be played only using the mouse. I don't have a potato-PC, yet I still had performance issues. The window resoulution seems quite big so some resolution or quality settings would be nice to see. Cutting the size of the map would also increase the performance as it seems too big for it's purpose. This definately seems like a very ambitious project and has alot of potential. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for playing! I ran out of time putting in graphics settings into the options menu, definitely something to add in future update. Also I agree the map is big for what is available in the jam version. Thanks for the feedback :)
You knocked it out of the park with the graphics and animation. As someone who is also working on a God mode ish type game outside of this jam, there were a lot of fantastic/tactile things I want to bring into my own game because they were done so well here.
Thanks for playing, and glad you liked the art style! Hope I get to see your godgame some time when it's ready!
Unfortunately for me the game does not seem to agree with my computer setup :( I have an ultra wide monitor and the mouse is like 2 - 3 inches off of where I'm actually clicking. I'd love to play once the issue gets sorted out.
From what I cans see the game looks very pretty though!
Hey, thanks for giving it a try! Sadly did not have time to add resolution settings, I have an ultra wide as well and had to resize the game to a 2K resolution myself to get the best experience. Hope to update in the future and make it more playable!
Loved it, great presentation and very stylish. Very impressed with the implementation of the character AI. Well done!
Thanks for playing!!
Wow, I love everything about this! This gives me strong Black and White series vibes. There's some serious potential in this for a full release! I like how you can convert the enemies after they attack you. It feels more rewarding when you fend off an attack. The theming was good, I liked how the music was synced up. Full points from me for the game jam!
Thank you so much, we're glad you liked it :) The team definitely put a lot of work into this!
This game looks gorgeous! I loved the black and white games growing up! Makes me happy to see devs taking inspiration from classics like that. Fantastic job.
Thank you! Yes Black & White was a fantastic series, and we wanted to do our best to recreate some of that experience for players.
