What a superb little game this is, screw the villagers, I could just play building with the islands, I hope they just come up with some random map generator that I can terraform!

the fluid dynamics are great fun, redirecting lava flows, creating dams and lakes..its all realyl well done.
 
yeah, apologies as there is a thread on the pc games forum...not sure why its released behind the console versions, but I am not complaining, its easy to control with the pad as they are very easy..left trigger picks up and right trigger drops, thats pretty much all there is to it!
 
This doesn't have a sandbox mode does it?

not as such..but that would be my hope they would incorporate it..but map 4 for example..once you village is safe you can just muck about like I did for over an hour (until the nearby volcano had created land enough to broach the lagoon between it and my village so I had to take action and created an huge rock wall to channel the lava 90 degrees left and into the ocean)

each map has a secondary objective of getting full coverage with plant life and attracting animals (they turn up with about 70% coverage)

in all honesty its just nice fiddling with water courses etc.
 
not tried to grow them back..nasty things!

the exploding trees grow back no problem



the second to last level is an aboslute nightmare, it took me an absolute age

its set inside the crater of a giant live volcano..so not only do you have to contend with immense lava flows but then it bloody rains and fills the bowl!
