Grow your plant using the resources you find dotted around the alien landscape. Collecting energy will awaken the resident plants which pose a threat to your plant's health and must be defended against.
As you play, resources become more scarce and threats more dangerous. The key to success is to assess where the risk is based in a level, and plan how your impact on the environment will affect your chances of survival.
Rizk is a stylish but tricky resource management game that we created for the Science Museum.
Controls:
Mouse control for everything.
Click into the world to open the context-sensitive UI. From here you can deploy collectors to collect resources for your plant and defenders to defend against threats to your plant. Also you have access to a zoom feature and the Risk Map.
MAN!
this game rocks! just that, if only those defenders had guns on them, this would'a rocked the newgrounds world \m/ really, every part where I can collect resources, there are those darn spores..weapons are the best way to fend them off :) but nice game anyway..GUNS!! put some GUNS in'em! and if guns don't work, make them defenders cheaper!!
Pretty fun
But I dislike the massive spike in the difficulty curve at the third level. Also, why can't we just have a visual of the whole map rather than having to use our mouse to see certain areas? It's like an RTS and how you have to use the mouse to control the camera. The difference is the maps here aren't that large, so we don't need a moving camera. A fixed one works just fine.
I'd say just more levels to pan out the difficulty curve and better camera and you have yourself a sold 10/10. Otherwise, 7/10. Good work though.
I like it :)
And I'm going to play it at that other website. I do wish you had some kind of bonus level, a level that you can fight back them spores with some kind of weapons. That would have been just excellent :)
Great Game
Excellent way to represent cost-benefit situations as well as risk vs. rewards. A very entertaining and educational game.
@biosfreak: Just because you get a black screen doesn't make it a bad game. Sure you can get angry but giving a useless review and a low rating only mollifies your temporary fit and makes you look like an idiot.
