Nice idea, although the general lack of impact made the whole thing more confusing than it potentially could be.
Thanks for the comment! As it turned out, the idea I had was not really suitable for a 48 hour project, at least not with my skill set. There indeed is potential for much, much more, and I am currently thinking of turning this into a full-fledged experience.
Really interesting idea, have not seen a game with this idea. Great work but a bit confusing.
Thanks for playing! I am fully aware that the game itself is confusing and horribly unfinished. The idea really deserves a better execution. Perhaps, in the near future, I will get on with it.
This is a cool idea. Controlling the weather is a concept that I have not seen anywhere before. Maybe Im just stupid but I dont understand the game though. So I cant really rate it on Fun because I dont know how to play.
I too think that the idea is cool, but it was a bit too much for me to handle in 48 hours. Implementing the weather simulation took almost all of my time, and that's why the gameplay is lacking and the UI is confusing (and inconsistent). Not being able to read my mind doesn't make you stupid :)
Very good concept, but what is the use of the grid on the right?
Thanks for playing and commenting! The grid is for selecting the target cells (of the atmosphere grid, which is the central view) for the "casting" (changing temperature, humidity and pressure of those cells you have selected), which in turn affects the wind, rain, clouds, etc.
Sorry, there wasn't time to make any of this clear.
