Aug 26 23:56:00 Evolution of a monster Gorgeous! Getting an Ultima Underworld feel from this. Look forward to trying this out tomorrow with a fresh mind.
Aug 27 09:16:00 9h 20m The Balance Very beautiful! Music was nice as well. Playwise I just killed all the cute ones and after a while didn't need to move the mouse (much). Perhaps I wasn't playing the game in the correct frame of mind! ;-D Production values for this are very professional.
Aug 27 09:20:00 4m 00s Move forward I really liked this! Goes without saying that it looks lovely. I also like the progression idea. Haha, I did manage to get stuck behind the shed! But through some mangling of WASD I was able to get out again. :D
Aug 27 09:23:00 3m 00s RobotCity Same here, I'm too lazy. D: <br/> <br/>I think about 1 second before that happened.
Aug 27 09:34:00 11m 00s Oh my, a shooter with blocks! I like the look of this and there's also some nice ideas in there. Is there meant to any sound? (I saw note of FL Studio in journal)
Aug 27 14:33:00 4h 59m CritterLab Really ambitious, and really faithful to the competition theme. I love dynamic sandbox games like this where you just watch to see what happens to the world. Nice one!
Aug 27 16:59:00 2h 26m EvoDragon Very nice art style! Couldn't figure out how to evolve either. Perhaps I didn't slap enough boars? :} <br/> <br/>Music very nice as well. Has a cool 'arcade' feel to it.
Aug 27 17:19:00 20m 00s Dawn Same as davidllanos22, can't figure out how to make a torch. :[
Aug 27 19:57:00 2h 38m UN-Natural Selection No game on Firefox either! Please fix, the game looks great, we want to play it! :D
Aug 27 20:06:00 9m 00s Cytosine Hehe, you can't go wrong with Space Invaders can you. :D Pleasant to look at, the music is cool and the sounds are perfect. I sense a wave of good scores incoming.
Aug 27 20:15:00 9m 00s Panspermia I love these physics-based games! The satisfaction of setting a trajectory that gets it 'just right'. <br/> <br/>I think some kind of Beginning-of-Alien-esque-ambience, you know that kind of hollow windy ambience would have been a good placeholder in lieu of actual sound effects. <br/> <br/>I agree that the meteors could move a bit faster too. Really enjoyed the game though. :)
Aug 27 20:28:00 13m 00s Octogeddon Well, I've scored this highly... usually I'm a little hesistant with non-web entries, but when I saw the picture I knew I had to try this out. Really good fun, the elephant arm is nice game mechanic. Would be nice to control rotation with the mouse as there were some points where I was going backwards and forwards by clicking once and never quite able to get the alignment right. Anyway, a great idea implemented really nicely. Well done! :)
Aug 27 20:38:00 10m 00s Obsolete Upgrade Hahaha, how delightfully random! Like the floppy sounds as well... though it makes me feel old. (dare I say it... out-dated!) :(
Aug 27 20:43:00 5m 00s Go Darwin Really good fun, love the pixel art style as well. Sounds are right on and the music has that 90s console vibe. I was defeated by the giant purple dodo. It just kept on coming! :(
Aug 27 21:55:00 1h 12m RED PLANET Wow, that was excellent! This is one of my favourites so far. I liked the music as well. It had a 70s sci-fi synthesizer feel to it that was absolutely perfect for the atmosphere. The 'game' is a little restrictive, but the story was really enjoyable. Well done!
Aug 28 10:21:00 12h 26m Blobosphere Evolution Zero Surprisingly tough little game (or maybe I'm just rubbish ;D ) Pleasant graphics and cute characters (love the expressions on impact). Would've been nice to have some sounds. Very nice though! Interesting take on the theme and well implemented. :)
Aug 28 10:33:00 12m 00s Bear Selection(Web) Fascinating little sandbox! Game does stop sometimes and I'm not sure what I'm doing that makes that happen. Seems to be random. The actual evolution bit is nicely implemented. Fun to watch new species appear. I like the variation in traits as well, that's nicely done. :)
Aug 28 12:36:00 2h 03m Boxy the Boxcat in Evolution Escapades Love the aesthetic! Wish boxcat was a little faster. Nice story as well, very cute. :)
Aug 28 12:56:00 20m 00s Tad's Adventure Love the retro feel to this game. The music, sounds and graphics are spot on. I'm not very good at it, which is a shame, as I'd like to see those other levels from the screenshots. :)
Aug 28 13:00:00 4m 00s Geomelution Yikes, touch game! Very addictive though and good implementation. Great music as well.
Aug 28 13:06:00 6m 00s Kitty Breeder 2012 Absolutely adorable, lovely sounds and music too. The click sensitivity between placing food and picking up kittens was a little frustrating, but on the whole it's really good fun!
Aug 28 14:41:00 1h 35m evoCubes Very surreal! D: (but in a good way) :)
Aug 28 14:44:00 3m 00s Icarus: the Evolution of Flight Hope you get it uploaded soon! The ship construction page looks awesome. Reminds me of a game called "Storm Master" on Amiga/ST. Best of luck and will check back soon. :)
Aug 28 14:54:00 10m 00s Stellar Nursery Charming and delightful. Music fits very nicely. There's definitely a great game concept hiding in there somewhere!
Aug 28 14:58:00 4m 00s EvoRide Great production values, nice music as well. I agree with Pierrec, would be nice to see a mock-up of the final creature.
Aug 28 15:02:00 4m 00s Carcinogen Corp. Yeah, looks great, but after the character says "what's that? I'd better get back" it crashes with a slick util error regardless of which house I pick?
Aug 28 15:13:00 11m 00s Cuboid Sandbox Fascinating! And very beautiful once it's been left to run for a while. Would be nice to be able to click on the mini-map to go directly to that location. (this PC has a slightly low-range GFX card) :)
Aug 28 15:16:00 3m 00s Swarm or Die Yeah, I get the "Install Unity" page as well. A shame, as this looks great. (and I definitely have the Webplayer installed... I've just been playing a few Unity web games).
Aug 28 19:38:00 4h 22m The evolution games / unnatural selection teh kittehs! I could hear them and then it was too late. D: I won't sleep tonight... (I love the sounds in this btw)
Aug 28 19:45:00 7m 00s Journey of life "noo, not your cousin!" resulted in a major belly laugh. :D <br/> <br/>Alas, I couldn't find anyone to mate with. (such is life...) :(
Aug 28 19:56:00 11m 00s SUPER Levolution Haha, this game in insaaaaane! High quality production all round. Great fun!
Aug 28 20:04:00 8m 00s AvRvE Cheeky little brain teaser this one. Haha, can't get past the one after the wooly mammoth. Gonna keep trying though. Lovely graphical style, has real polish!
Aug 28 20:31:00 27m 00s Time to Grow up! Agreed, from the outset the graphics are beautiful and the music nice. But I could not work out what to do? Picking up fruit and throwing at people. It might work in real life but in the game it does nothing? :(
Aug 28 20:43:00 12m 00s Dragonom I liked the subtle parallax effect. The collision detection ruined it a bit for me. Annoying to fire at something far way from the tree sprite but still have it intercepted. The music and ambience is really nice though. And the graphical style superb.
Aug 28 20:56:00 13m 00s Leap of the Lemmings Hiya, change you link from HTTPS to HTTP! There's an issue where people keep being asked to download the Unity Webplayer even though they have it installed! i.e., I changed your link to HTTP and now it runs fine! <br/> <br/>Now onto the game: Hehe, yes, it's quite fun to throw them off the cliff. :D Reminds me of the bit in Skyrim where you push your "favourite fan" off the top. Is the camera-look meant to be connected to the cursor this way? I found I was looking at the sky when I clicked "Run" and had to re-orientate my viewpoint. Fun though!
Aug 28 21:53:00 57m 00s Alpha Nice concept, I liked it, though I spent a lot of the time looking at the bottom 1/4 of the screen. (which was a shame as the final boss graphic is great). :)
Aug 29 09:34:00 11h 41m Wormelution Very nice production. I like the art style in this and the sounds are nice and ambient. Perhaps needs more of a goal as already mentioned. Great entry though, well done.
Aug 29 09:39:00 5m 00s Extreme Super Death Pit 3000 Hiya, please change your Web link from HTTPS to HTTP! A lot of us will just see the "Install Unity Webplayer" page even though we have it installed. <br/> <br/>Nice game, though I'm not sure if my beam was doing anything. Sound FX gave me a shock, was on headphones. :D <br/> <br/>Game
Aug 29 10:50:00 1h 11m Belle Someone's rated this even though the link was broken. That's a little unfair to the author. :(
Aug 29 12:33:00 1h 43m DashDashDASH It would be better if the attacking entities stayed in front, as often I didn't know something was behind me and then it was awkward to shoot. Nice implementation though, sounds are good, pretty to look at as well. :)
Aug 29 12:40:00 7m 00s Super-Human I love the aesthetic look of the game, and it's a cool idea as well. I actually found the sound quite amusing. :D
Aug 29 12:46:00 6m 00s Dino Chef Haha! This is supremely satisfying to play. :D
Aug 29 12:54:00 8m 00s Buffalo Joe Great voiceover! Cool idea for the game as well. Some of the wolves spawn a bit close though. Very nice graphical style as well. :) <br/> <br/>PS: I'd change Web url to HTTP (i.e., not HTTPS). Some people are getting the "Install Webplayer" page even though they have it properly installed. It's an issue with Dropbox hosted Unity games.
Aug 29 12:59:00 5m 00s Creationism vs Evolutionism - The Ultimate Quiz? Very funny (and a nice idea)! But the repeating of questions feels a bit like a bug? (could be intentional?)
Aug 29 13:04:00 5m 00s Convergent Wow, I think I need 2 brains running in parallel for this! :D Very nice graphics as well. Not 100% sure I know what I'm doing, and whether it constitutes 'winning' (not necessarily in the Charlie Sheen sense...), but I'm having fun. :)
Aug 29 14:31:00 1h 27m Cellulae Heh, after generation 9 I had no one smaller than me and it was a case of "run awayyyyy!". Fun little game, nice music and pleasant graphics. Well done!
Aug 29 14:39:00 8m 00s E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N Tricky!! Very amusing though, and a nice idea well implemented. Agree though, after level 4 it's quite a challenge. (which is good) :)
Aug 29 14:44:00 5m 00s Project V Interesting, and the interactions are nice. I seemed to win by holding right mouse button, mashing WASD and clicking left furiously. :)
Aug 29 14:58:00 14m 00s Tribal Warfare Nice little game. :) Was a bit confused at first, would be nice if buttons made a sound when you click on them to confirm that something's actually happening.
Aug 29 15:07:00 9m 00s Biotic I like this! I took the entities to be self-replicating compounds (I think? ... hmn, need to re-read "The Selfish Gene"). Music was nice, could've been looped?
Aug 29 15:19:00 12m 00s Panspermia Really fun game with nice graphics! Wish the sound was a bit better, but on the whole, lots of fun. :)
Aug 29 15:28:00 9m 00s Young Earth Road Trip Haha, fantastic! I love the bit at the museum.
Aug 30 09:33:00 18h 05m ContraEvolution What a fascinating idea. I really like the graphical style, and the ambient sounds are just perfect. I wish there was a stronger 'win' scenario (or possibility!).
Aug 30 09:37:00 4m 00s Land Evo One of the best implementations of the theme so far, imho. Really enjoyable, great work! :)
Aug 30 09:50:00 13m 00s Oneway Kinda confused by this, but I love the graphical style you've employed here, very clean. Perhaps a better way of showing which one you've selected?
Aug 30 12:38:00 2h 48m Beetlefield : The Forecast Well, I think this is my winner. It's 1) Addictive 2) Beautiful 3) Sounds good 4) Fits the theme and it feels like a lot of polish has gone into this. Really exceptional, well done!
Aug 30 12:45:00 7m 00s Slime World Curious and engrossing little game. Beautifully presented, feels very professional!
Aug 30 12:52:00 7m 00s OF SPECIES Incredible atmosphere, but not sure if I 'won'? Think I need to see a walkthrough done by someone else. :)
Aug 31 09:01:00 20h 09m kinetic dream Very well put together and quite challenging. I like the clean graphical style as well.
Sep 3 19:50:00 82h 49m Ludum Card Evolution There's a great concept going on here, but I found it quite hard to understand. But the card game concept is excellent and quite innovative! (and rated thusly)
Sep 3 19:54:00 4m 00s Orbitary A little frustrating until I realised what I was meant to be doing. Very pretty and I like the way the spheres move and animate. Pity about the sounds, even some cheaply generated ones would have been welcome.
Sep 3 19:56:00 2m 00s A Matter of L and D Quite fun to watch! :D Just a note to change your web link from http(s) to just http, some of us will just get the "Install Unity" page, even though we have it installed.
Sep 10 10:46:00 158h 50m Evolution Strategy (Web) Hehe I like the sfx! Particularly when there's lots of entities about. Would be nice to have a little more strategy in there, but I like the concept!
