As the title implies, you control the lives of the natives on two islands on your iPhone. You can be a benign God and give them food and try to keep them from dying. Or you can be like me: a quirky, wrathful God.
Once you accept your inner wrath, you can wipe out the little islanders in new and exciting ways: zap them with lightning, whip up a storm and blow them out to sea, fling them into the ocean, sacrifice them into a volcano, cause a volcano to erupt, turn one of them into a vampire who will kill the others, bring the sun to fry a vampire, feed them to sharks, cause an earthquake, watch them explode because they're unable to use the bathroom, or summon a T-Rex to eat them.
As an added bonus, you can name the islanders with that same names as people that have annoyed you and live out some vicarious voodoo doll fun.
The animation is a little cutesy, but my niece, my nephew and my friends' kids can't wait to get their hands on it again to live out some of their little kid homicidal rage -- just like me. I can't wait to see what the guys at Bolt come up with next.
