"Natural Disaster Survival" is a round-based survival experience in Roblox created by the user @Stickmasterluke. It was an empty place slot from March 2008 to around November 2011 when the experience's name was updated to "Disaster Testing". The full experience was released on December 4, 2011.[1][2][3] The game has been positively compared to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.[citation needed]
Gameplay
When players enter the game, they will be greeted by a GUI and will spawn on a tower. On the spawn tower, they can observe the disaster striking the island safely from a distance while waiting for the next round.
In the game, players must survive through 12 different disasters on 21 preset maps generated on a raised green island.
To increase the challenge of survival, there is a fall damage script that damages the player if they fall in any direction at a fast rate. If the player stops accelerating, the script does not damage the player. When a round begins, a random map is chosen and players are teleported to that chosen map. Upon arrival, they have approximately 20 seconds to prepare for the incoming disaster which is not revealed to the player until it starts, although before that the disaster started and the warning was not revealed to the player until 2015, since 2016 the game started to be very easy, since now the HUD shows the warning of the disaster that is coming, which makes it easier for the players to survive.
If the player dies during the round, they will be sent back to the spawn tower until the next round.
Reception
Christian Vaz of PCGamesN rated the game as one of the best Roblox games.[4] The real world disaster response advice that the game was seen to be imparting was criticised by Bevan Findlay of University of Auckland. This included advice to get "outside in the midst of an earthquake" or sheltering inside to avoid tornados, concluding that "wrong advice ondisaster preparedness needs to be avoided"[5]
