This game was developed in 1.62 days for VR Jam 2021.

Theme "Small World"

Game

You're a God or Goddess looking down at your followers and you need more in your house of worship to grow your power over your small world! Motivate them with the sound of your voice and push them in the direction you want them to go.

Rotate map with joysticks
Speak or blow into your microphone to push your followers

Theme Inspiration

Populous, Spore, Godus, Black & White, Lemmings, Age of Empires, Marble Madness

Gameplay

Blow as many followers into your house of worship to score points.

Villager = 1 point

Drunk = 2 points

Augments = get villager to walk over item for speed boost, invincibility, etc (time limited)

Holy Relics = overall time increase (either walk over it, or pick up and get to house of worship to extend time)

HAZARDS

Blowing too hard could make them get smashed into wall
Carts blocking paths
Water (drown/die)
Pits (die)
Drunken villagers (not as easy to control)
Skeletons wandering around (invicible - air blows through skeleton)
