Aug 28 03:06:00 Infect The reverse-tower defense is an interesting idea, but it could use some more content and polish.
Aug 28 17:21:00 14h 15m The Lost Laboratory Well, it worked. It was odd, and wasn't necessarily fun, though I'll admit, I'd never seen anything like it before. A little more polish, maybe some dangers in the overworld, an additional ability or a few (radiation immunity could still be the main goal) plus an exorbitant amount of added collision detection and I'd play it again!
Aug 28 17:38:00 17m 00s I Am A Tree. You Are Not. Ha Ha. Yeah... finished it. Good idea, though I can't say I appreciate the humor.
Aug 28 17:44:00 6m 00s Troll Spirit No idea what I was doing. None.
Aug 28 17:59:00 15m 00s Curiosity, The Untold Story Fun game, though gets boring quickly.
Aug 28 18:06:00 7m 00s A.D.A.P.T.I.O.N.: You Are What You Eat! I enjoyed it. Very evolution-y.
Aug 28 18:20:00 14m 00s Enhanced Man I enjoyed it, though it was brutally difficult. I had to rate it low on theme. It was fun, but it didn't really feel like evolution - it felt like leveling up.
Aug 28 19:06:00 46m 00s Space Mayham No idea what I was doing, and I fail to see how it fits 'evolution.' Also, everything is WAY too small.
Aug 28 19:15:00 9m 00s Grow Would have been a lot better with more polish, and, as people have said, a better mouse-movement mechanic.
Aug 28 19:21:00 6m 00s Untitled I enjoyed this a lot. The platforming elements need some refinement, but I like the idea and I like your implementation of 'evolution.'
Aug 28 19:25:00 4m 00s Ancient Ruins Hmm... couldn't get it to work. The process would start, but no window would pop up. Running 64-bit Win7, and the folder was on the Desktop.
Aug 28 23:13:00 3h 48m DGP: Space Lion This would have been awesome if it hadn't been so glitchy. I loved how the monsters changed visually as they grew resistant to certain attacks, although it should be made clearer that you can jump on them. The audio got repetitive at times, though I enjoyed getting Rick-Rolled on level 2. :)
Aug 28 23:18:00 5m 00s Gobbulator Well, it was fun, though I'm not sure it really fits 'evolution.' It felt more like I was just leveling up. Evolving implies multiple pathways. I did like how enemies became vulnerable to you as you got more advanced.
Aug 28 23:29:00 11m 00s Mutate It was fun, but the tile-based movement was jarring, and jumping was really awkward.
Aug 28 23:47:00 18m 00s Experiment X I enjoyed this game immensely. It was well done, I didn't see any bugs, and as others have said, I really enjoyed the feel it gave off.
Aug 29 00:14:00 27m 00s The Silver Spire Holy dang, this game was good! I enjoyed it very much. The only one complaint I maybe kinda sorta had was that the small bullets didn't always look like they were coming from the mouth, but I know from experience how hard it is to get that working properly. Out of the 14 entries I've rated, yours is the best so far. Good luck!
Aug 29 02:38:00 2h 24m Save The Memepool Well, I enjoyed it.
Aug 29 02:42:00 4m 00s Biods Interesting game. I wouldn't call it 'fun,' but it is interesting.
Aug 29 16:40:00 13h 58m A League for Fishes I do not like the direction Game Maker is taking - watermarks on games? Seriously? <br/> <br/>Anyway, your game was not bad. Forcing someone to get all the food on the level is a little harsh, though.
Aug 29 16:45:00 5m 00s Who cares evolution? The audio quality wasn't great, but the game was fun. It was a little hard to tell which species was which, but it all worked out.
Aug 29 17:02:00 17m 00s Bioboy Interesting game, though many of the puzzles didn't seem possible... are you supposed to do the levels in order?
Aug 29 18:22:00 1h 20m Evolve and Conquer This has the potential to be an amazing strategy game. Seriously. It lacks polish, and the controls are a little awkward. A tutorial would do this game good. Mr. Skintkingle, DO NOT QUIT DEVELOPING THIS.
Aug 29 19:36:00 1h 14m Cannibal Slugmage of Eden A very interesting idea, though the CMD window with errors is a little disconcerting... It needs a LOT more polish, but don't give up! I could be a great strategy game, especially multiplayer.
Aug 29 19:41:00 5m 00s Clever Blocks Fun game. It's a little easy, but a very interesting idea, and I like that the other blocks do things.
Aug 29 19:46:00 5m 00s Stickman Evolution Umm... that's about all I can say.
Aug 29 19:50:00 4m 00s Primordial Guard Interesting, but, as others have set, repetitive and easy.
Aug 29 20:04:00 14m 00s Genes Chase The ocean level is WAY too huge, and doesn't have any scenery to break it up.
Aug 29 20:09:00 5m 00s And Thus She Spake Very osmos-like. It was fun filling up the screen with a giant red ball and then shrinking and filling up the screen with yellow instead and then dying.
Aug 29 20:29:00 20m 00s the Evolution from zx81 Frustratingly fun, which is the way I like it. :)
Aug 29 20:46:00 17m 00s B M S Interesting. I enjoyed it quite a bit - wasn't quite 'Thy Dungeonman' style like I was expecting, but still very good. A few typos here and there.
Aug 29 21:04:00 18m 00s Chromasome The jerkiness of the pixels makes it quite hard to control. It would have been a lot more fun if they hadn't been so jittery.
Aug 29 21:16:00 12m 00s Watercolor Wheel Evolution It was a lot of fun. Animation and/or variation would have been nice, but you can't expect too much from a three-year-old. :) Initially, I was confused with the whole 'evolution' part, until I played it a while. Then I noticed that the 'cripples' started getting bigger.
Aug 29 21:21:00 5m 00s How evolution really works? Nice! Very fun, very well done, very good puzzles.
Aug 30 00:22:00 3h 01m Inu No Ongaeshi This game was not fun. But it was engaging. It was brilliant and very interesting. Except it was more like a book, not a game. Yes, I understand the term 'visual novel.'
Aug 30 00:25:00 3m 00s Monsieur Evolution Um... no. Just no.
Aug 30 00:30:00 5m 00s Passive Fun, but frustrating, and has nothing to do with evolution. Other than slapping the word 'evolution' on the level complete screen.
Aug 30 00:43:00 13m 00s End Humanity! I enjoyed it. Pretty easy, pretty simple, pretty standard, fun nonetheless.
Aug 30 00:54:00 11m 00s Cows VS Wolves Hmm... too slow for my tastes, but I liked the execution. I didn't see how evolution played in to it, but I'm assuming you'd get to modify your cows if you got far enough or something.
Aug 30 05:03:00 4h 09m AGAIN Corp: Adaptive Genetic Artificially Initiated Corporation Good idea, and the execution almost worked. Lack of an easily accessible pause menu (I couldn't find one... I had to Task Manager my way out. :/), poor collision detection, and a brutal learning curve make this game hard to play.
Aug 30 05:14:00 11m 00s Caveman Speak My only complaint is that Oorg (or any of the cavemen) didn't obey the directional commands.
Aug 30 05:16:00 2m 00s Robot Build Fight! Sounds like a good idea, but honestly, I don't really want Love2D on my computer. Build a Windows binary and I'll check back.
Aug 30 16:38:00 11h 22m EvoGoop Good idea, but it could have been faster and better explained. Also, when I evolved arms, I got stuck and could no longer move.
Aug 30 16:43:00 5m 00s Mystic Evolution Quest Good concept, but it was REALLY laggy, and very difficult to tell whether or not my attacks hit.
Aug 30 16:53:00 10m 00s The World Tree I enjoyed the graphical style, and the music was well done, although the sound the red things gave off was really quite annoying. Unfortunately, I don't really see how it had anything to do with evolution...
Aug 30 17:00:00 7m 00s Selection Interesting, but a little too easy - I was able to just click randomly and get it to work. I'm a fan of Conway's Game of Life, and this seemed similar. By the end, I had around 145 points and the AI only had 100-120 (I forget).
Aug 30 17:10:00 10m 00s WTF Aliens!? Very fun. The Sync meter seemed a little hard to keep up (it felt like it kept lowering even when I was doing stuff on the beat, and I'm no stranger to rhythm games - I play Patapon like mad) and it had NOTHING to do with evolution. Still fun, though. Music got a little repetitive.
Aug 30 17:25:00 15m 00s ColourTron Seems like it would be fun if I could figure out how to beat the first level! I found that when you shoot green squares at it, it pulls out the green, leaving the red. But when I shoot red squares at it, they just go right through! GAH!
Aug 30 22:30:00 5h 05m Plan M Ha, that was hilarious and awesome. No audio, and it would have been nice for the fritzy lightbulbs, and the Jazz Club.
Aug 30 22:35:00 5m 00s The Chamber Interesting idea. The movement and collision detection were a little weird, though.
Sep 4 18:39:00 116h 04m Self.Recompile() Quite difficult to understand. The 'harvesting' sound was EXTREMELY annoying, and the flickery lights didn't do anything good to my eyes.
