Watch nations grow and forests spread in this casual sandbox game where everything is automatic and gameplay is optional. It’s like a screensaver that you can play. Make explosions that deform the ground, start forest fires, trigger earthquakes that wipe out civilizations, or just watch the sunrise.
## About This Game
Ardarium is a 2D simulation that automatically generates a random map and
populates it with people who then attempt to survive and build nations. The
point is to be something pretty and colorful that you can watch like a
screensaver or play like a simple sandbox game.
People gather food, avoid danger, build settlements, and have kids. A
settlement might thrive due to an abundance of food and then decline because
of disease.
The world constantly changes. Land deforms because of erosion, tectonic
uplift, volcanos and meteors. Elevation changes cause coastlines to shift and
alter weather patterns. A forest might turn into a desert because it no longer
gets rain. A submerged hill can become an island if the land rises above the
water.
Anything the player can do, like placing new people or starting meteor
showers, is something the simulation also does automatically. You can leave it
running as long as you want and the world will continue as normal.
