About the game
In the village, the sky is getting angry: a natural disaster is coming, and your villagers only have a minute or two to build a shelter. First you choose their names, then you send them to work: the woodcutter chops wood, the stonecutter breaks rocks, the builder builds twice as fast. Each disaster has its own dangers: hail cracks tiles, lightning burns wooden roofs, an earthquake makes stone crack, and a flood soaks the bottom walls. Read the forecast, pick the right materials and protections (gutter, lightning rod, stilts, buttresses…), then watch your house stand strong in the rain, the wind, the lava or the tornado. The taller and more intact it is, the more points you score.
How to play
Before the disaster, tap a villager, then a job: Wood, Straw, Stone or Build. You can also tap the forest, the field, the quarry or the house. Then tap pieces in the plan: base, floors, roof and protections. On a keyboard, keys 1 to 6 and the left and right arrows pick a villager, the up and down arrows change their job, Tab and Enter pick a piece, Space speeds up time, and Esc or P pauses. During the disaster, tap flames to put them out and, with the repairer, tap cracked pieces to fix them. If the roof and enough floors stay up, you earn one star, then two or three depending on your points. The game has 24 levels.
