#uDevGames review: Leader of Mans

“All of creation is at your fingertips. Your mans look to you for guidance. Lead them to greatness.”
Leader of Mans by Andy Korth is a god game where you create and grow your tribe of worshippers. You start off with an empty world consisting of islands. Your island is in the center. The first thing you have to do is create your first worshipper or a “mans”. Then you drag him over to a field to start growing food. Once you have food you can create shelter which you need for creating more worshippers.
Once you have more mans you can place them to do a variety of chores like more harvesting, logging and later on mining. This increases your tribes resources, which are divided into three categories: bread, wood, and stone.
Using resources you use your divine powers to build things for your tribe, such as, tents, huts, mines and docks. The building system functions like a grid. You place bread, lumber and rocks in a certain configuration, press enter and the building appears.
Building docks play an important role since they are used to create a connection between neighboring islands.
After setting your foot on a new island you can start building and inhabiting.
Each island consists of a quest. All in all, there are four quests that you can complete one of which completes the game.
As you complete quests your divine powers grow and you gain new abilities. The divine abilities are represented by the icons on the top center of the screen. They include: creating a mans, planting a tree, fire, rocks and lighting.
Planting some trees.
Planting stones around a mine.
Building something.
Most of the games in the uDevGames 2011 contest have resembled the 1990 period in terms of their graphics. Leader of Mans is no exception. However, the graphics look exceptionally polished. I especially loved the pastel-like colors. The music and the sound effects work well in the background. All in all, the game is well laid out and provides an entertaining god experience. God game fans: go check it out.
