LinksApart from the island farming antics of Coral Island, we talk aboutFlotsam, a Waterworld-esque game where you build and maintain a town on a bunch of rafts.
Incidentally, someone has madea playable version of the Kevin Costner’s Waterworld arcade gamefrom a 10 second long Simpsons joke from the 90s.
Nate enjoysAmong Ripples, a game about rebuilding one of the least sexy ecosystems (a freshwater pond).
Terra NilandSurviving Marsare both about regrowing plants in hostile environments. People would probably be against greening mars, right?
Matthew, who has understood the theme but just kind of doesn’t like it because it’s not aYakuzagame, suggests the icy bit inRed Dead Redemption 2because icy cracking noises are great, andStrange Horticulture, which has plants in (and actually isn’t a bad pick).
He also talks aboutMutazione, a nice game about restoring balance to the people and plants of an island. Matthew hasn’t played it, but he watched Katharine playing it.
You know whats nice?Luimno City, a puzzle game where you go around a tiny city that is a real physical model and fix things! It’s great!
