English:
Volcano is a nice puzzle game from Momor Productions in which you take the role of a god who must either destroy or save villages from deadly lava flows. In Gaia mode, you must dig or raise the terrain to divert lava flows away from buildings. Conversely, in Thanatos mode you must place lava balls throughout the land to make sure that each village is destroyed. The catch is that you only have a limited amount of actions per level, and once you use them, that`s it for that level, you must hope that the lava will avoid or reach the buildings. Fortunately, you can toggle the flow of lava using the L key so you have all the time you`d ever need to plan a strategy. Also in Gaia mode, several building icons may appear in the bottom-left corner of your screen when they are in danger, you can click on these icons to automatically transport you to the building(s) in danger.
I personally prefer Thanatos mode, not because it`s easier, but because in Gaia mode you must wait for the Lava Activity percentage to slowly reach 0% before you can finish a level. In Thanatos mode, the mission is done as soon as all buildings are on fire.
Controls: Most of these can be changed under Config >> Options >> Commands
Arrow Keys) Move
WSXC Keys) Look
F1 key) Help
Page Up/Down) Move Up & Down
Return) Next building
L key) Toggle lava flow
CTRL + Left Click) Toggle Dig & Raise (only in Gaia mode)
Left Click) Dig or Raise in Gaia mode, place lava ball in Thanatos mode
Right Drag) Look with mouse
Volcano uses voxel technology which does not yet support true hardware rendering, so don`t expect great framerates at high resolutions like 1280x1024, think realistic like 640x480. If you have do have a good CPU unlike me, try turning on Color Smoothing under Config >> Options >> Rendering for improved graphics, especially for the lava itself.
