Calamity Cove
A tiny island town gets a new disaster every round: tornado, flood, meteors, earthquake or acid rain. Play as a blocky islander in third person, pick your refuge and survive while buildings tear apart block by block and the other islanders panic. Keep your streak alive.
Calamity Cove is a third-person disaster survival game on a small island fishing town, in the spirit of the classic blocky survive-the-disaster games.
You play a blocky islander in a yellow shirt. The mouse orbits the camera, the wheel zooms (all the way in is first person, or press V), and you run, jump and climb like a toy. Get flung and you go limp as a six-part ragdoll; get blown up and you come apart into blocks.
Every round starts on the Lookout, a glass deck off the coast, with the Top Survivalists board. Then you're dropped on the island at dawn, noon, golden hour or night, and you have fifteen seconds to read the sky before the siren:
- Tornado: a funnel wanders the island, drawn to crowds, ripping buildings apart and throwing cars, furniture and people into the air, with the wreckage it lifts circling in the funnel. Get clear of its path. - Flash flood: the sea climbs through the streets, surges over the store roof twice and rots buildings from below. Get high, and then higher. - Meteor shower: burning rocks fall faster and faster, punch through roofs, start fires and blow out every window nearby. A glowing ring marks where each one lands, on the roof and on the floor beneath it. Get under a strong roof: the town hall, the church and the store take the hits that tear through the houses. - Earthquake: the ground itself moves you, jolts knock everyone over, cracks rumble and then tear open under anyone standing still, the towers topple whole across town and houses come apart storey by storey. Get well clear of buildings and towers (the edge of town, the hill behind the water tower) and watch the ground. - Acid rain: green rain eats the roofs, so the shelter you picked won't last. Keep finding cover.
