| Aug 28 04:45:00 | Lamarck's Theory of Evolution | First off, I disagree with many of the comments here, I actually enjoyed the aiming in this game. It adds depth, as the inability to shoot those chasing you forces you to outrun your predators while hunting your prey. <br/> <br/>I love the evolution mechanic, but it feels depressing to have to kill yourself to get stronger. I can immediately think of two ways to solve this: <br/>1. Have the options always being visible so the player can spend his XP at any point. The problem with this is that evolution doesn't exactly work that way. <br/>2. Make "waves" of enemies, and have the upgrade phase between those waves. I like this one, because it would be as if each wave is fought by the next generation. <br/> <br/>One last thought: The movement controls would be more enjoyable for me if you had used the Asteroids-style RotateCCW/Forward/RotateCW controls instead of left/up/down/right. <br/> <br/>Overall, this was a very good game that I believe could take up hours of my day after a little polish. Nice job! | |
| Sep 6 18:24:00 | 229h 39m | Darwin's Apple | Very impressive for 9 hours. I do think this would have been much better if you had focused more effort to make it easier to read the stats when there are a large amount of them all instead of all overlapping each other. I realize you already addressed this, but I was discouraged that the core mechanic of your game was so difficult to achieve due to the UI. |
| Sep 6 19:29:00 | 1h 05m | LD24 Tower Defense | All I had to do was build a bunch of turrets and aim them all at the spawn point and I was set for the rest of the game. Make more than one spawn location. |
| Sep 6 22:16:00 | 2h 47m | Complexitivity | Very fun game. Looking forward to your version with upgraded graphics! |
| Sep 6 22:39:00 | 23m 00s | MiniEvolution | Very interesting concept. |
| Sep 6 23:06:00 | 27m 00s | DNA Wars | Very enjoyable. Well done! |
| Sep 7 19:57:00 | 20h 51m | A scientific experiment | Amazing. Please continue development of this after the competition! <br/> <br/>One small issue: please allow resizing for smaller screen sizes. :-) |
| Sep 10 19:15:00 | 71h 18m | EvolBots (not EvilBots) | It's a sort of Marble Madness style game with swarm mechanics. Very cool. |
| Sep 10 19:29:00 | 14m 00s | Fluff | Please finish this, it is very good and has a lot of potential to become excellent. :-) |
| Sep 10 19:47:00 | 18m 00s | Tiny Evolution Adventure | Amazing graphics and audio. Some way of knowing how many more creatures you have to eat and where the exit is would definitely help, but it is very well done as it is. |
| Sep 10 22:39:00 | 2h 52m | Influenza | This is fantastic. Very well done. |
| Sep 10 22:52:00 | 13m 00s | Quantum Seed | The gameplay was a bit slow paced and not at all challenging, but the audio and visuals were absolutely beautiful. |
| Sep 10 23:12:00 | 20m 00s | Psychiatric Evaluation | Very cool having to travel through the different levels of sanity to escape. I'd really like to see an updated version where you eventually have 3D graphics levels of sanity that let you see even more things! |
| Sep 10 23:28:00 | 16m 00s | Species | Not very good as a platformer (those ladders, man!) but I loved the horror aspect. Please work more on this after the compo! |
| Sep 13 17:30:00 | 66h 02m | Evolution | Beautiful graphics! |
