Aug 27 14:49:00		Boxy the Boxcat in Evolution Escapades	I thought the art was great! Great atmosphere.
Aug 27 14:59:00	10m 00s	IO VUOLE ZEN	I'm not sure I understand the logic of the first screen, despite getting past it -- both in terms of how it works and also WHY you would choose to implement this barrier. <br/> <br/>A bold and innovative entry nonetheless.
Aug 27 15:05:00	6m 00s	Planets	At first I was thinking: Oh, yet another "evolve a planet" game. <br/> <br/>But your art style is really very, very nice. I adore the look of your game, and the sound is nice too. Great aesthetic. <br/> <br/>I feel that the gameplay is a little slow/off. The controls and the pacing could use some adjustment -- which would make this game absolutely...stellar.
Aug 27 15:13:00	8m 00s	Swarm	Has huge potential for fun, but it took some trial-and-error to figure out what the heck I was supposed to do on the very first screen. The UI was not very intuitive... <br/> <br/>Personally, I think I would have preferred some kind of automatic evolution of the waves, rather than starting and stopping a lot. It's breaks the potential of getting into a "zen" state that works well with these sorts of games. <br/> <br/>I'm also not sure that I ever want to rely on the laser. Being stunned is pretty sucky -- you might want to remove that component. It's already challenging enough to use with the charge-up time.
Aug 27 15:17:00	4m 00s	EVO - X	I like the art for your character.
Aug 27 15:28:00	11m 00s	Homo Vermes	I love the concept, but I wasn't 100% sure what was going on while I played. I think a little bit more instructions would be helpful.
Aug 27 16:48:00	1h 20m	The Darkness Evolve!!	I'm not sure what this has to do with evolution. Sure, you fill an "evolution" bar, but it could just as easily be a "dark matter gas tank".
Aug 27 16:53:00	5m 00s	Way to Change	Despite its simplicity...I really liked this game! <br/> <br/>Very interesting and innovative.
Aug 27 17:01:00	8m 00s	Adapt or Die!	Let me say this: The crashes/glitches are only bothering me because I really like the game! I love the way the levels evolved bit by bit, and the game has a very "Super Meat Boy" feel to it. A little more polish and this could be a hugely addictive best-seller. <br/> <br/>I did NOT realize that you evolve to resist the damage that kills you. That is wonderful, and gets an extra +1 rating from me. <br/> <br/>This is one of the rare games this LD that really "gets" the theme.
Aug 28 12:40:00	19h 39m	Rift of Time	No source code? <br/> <br/>I believe that's a requirement, yes?
Aug 28 12:50:00	10m 00s	TONE	A simple, but well done game. However, it seems that the music was not made by you, during the competition?
Aug 28 13:00:00	10m 00s	Curiosity, The Untold Story	Great concept, excellent gameplay, and one of the few game that has a good implementation of an evolution mechanic. <br/> <br/>However, unless I'm missing something, upgrades are WAAAAY too expensive. It takes ages to be able to collect enough XP.
Aug 28 13:05:00	5m 00s	Dracolution	Great entry! <br/> <br/>A faster pace would be slightly better, I think. That may require switching to WSAD/Arrows for movement.
Aug 28 13:12:00	7m 00s	Upward Mankind	It's such a shame that you ran out of time to flesh out the gameplay and theme, because the graphics are great and the actual platforming feels good. <br/> <br/>I would definitely play a more developed version of this.
Aug 28 13:27:00	15m 00s	GeneRogue	Excellent submission! Surprisingly addictive -- though you run out of content relatively fast. Would love to see it pursued further!
Aug 28 13:33:00	6m 00s	MJT Evolution	Great potential, it's a shame you ran out of time! I hope you get a chance to complete this project in the future!
Aug 28 13:39:00	6m 00s	An Astronomical Affray	I can't get this game to run, even with the installer. The .exe appears in my process list, but nothing ever happens. Windows 7. <br/> <br/>I'm really excited to give this a try too. I like that you're using actual natural selection to evolve your enemies.
Aug 28 13:48:00	9m 00s	The Life Tale	I love virtually everything going on here. The upgrade system is great! <br/> <br/>However, the game is DEFINITELY much too hard. Some of it is due to balance issues, but a lot of it comes down to difficulty of control and how hard it is to attack something. I would love to see a tweaked version of this game!
Aug 28 13:52:00	4m 00s	Natural Selection	Nice to see an FPS entry! Definitely stands out. Good to see a story too.
Aug 28 13:55:00	3m 00s	CellVolution	Excellent entry!
Aug 30 17:17:00	51h 22m	Catching Life	I've never seen a puzzle game like this. One might exist, but it's still a relatively innovative idea. Nice work!
Aug 30 17:24:00	7m 00s	Primeval Labs	Easily the best game I've tried so far. Definitely a little hard, but great concept and execution. Loved the flavor/humor.
Aug 30 17:30:00	6m 00s	Human 2.0	Great art and sound! Gameplay feels a little slow-ish and I'd love to see that made a little crisper, but I have no other complaints!
Aug 30 18:11:00	41m 00s	Ludum Card Evolution	A complicated game to understand, but very innovative and ambition. Great submission! <br/> <br/>The "using premade art" thing is a pretty big problem, and a real shame because I don't think it would have taken you very long to remake the art. This may get you disqualified. :(
Aug 30 18:13:00	2m 00s	SPECIES	Fun game, nice fire effects!
Aug 30 18:18:00	5m 00s	ProtoZoo	Great concept, great game -- I would play more, but your choice of control scheme is really questionable.
Sep 5 15:23:00	141h 05m	the Evolution from zx81	Fun, simple, and feels like a great educational game for kids. VERY high votes from me. <br/> <br/>However, it was pretty hard!
