| Aug 27 02:26:00 | textcraft | I was a little disappointed I couldn't "make door dennis" but it's an interesting concept for a game. I think a small placeholder world to start out in to explore would have helped a lot as far as the interest level, though. | |
| Aug 27 02:40:00 | 14m 00s | GeomeTree | Waiting for the trees to propagate toward the end was a little tedious, but overall, a good execution of the theme, and nice music. |
| Aug 27 02:50:00 | 10m 00s | Super Evolver Boy: Turbo SD | "Devolve Mode" was a very neat idea, but I couldn't handle the really loud and jarring sound effect that came with it. I got stuck at the red square part. Very cool idea, however. I think it has definite potential. |
| Aug 27 03:19:00 | 29m 00s | Explore, Evolve, Escape! | Fun game. Good execution of the theme. The level design was such that replaying after each upgrade wasn't too much of a drag. |
| Aug 27 13:00:00 | 9h 41m | Praepoch | Very solid entry. The graphics and sound were both very nice, as well. Exploration in the caves felt a little too haphazard with the near-total darkness at times, though. |
| Aug 27 13:22:00 | 22m 00s | Unnatural Selection | Great sound and graphics. I don't quite have the grasp on the evolving behavior for the minions, but, otherwise, good entry. |
| Aug 27 13:42:00 | 20m 00s | TOWER of Evolution | The music and sound effects were decent, but the death scream was too loud. |
| Aug 27 14:21:00 | 39m 00s | Evolution of a monster | The game feels far too short, but the graphical style is excellent (side note: your Minecraft texture pack is my favorite) and the sound is nice. The thing about the first key was a little confusing at first, but I eventually got it. |
| Aug 27 20:27:00 | 6h 06m | This Planet is Mine | As the difficulty ramps up, the game gets a lot more interesting to play. Nice work. |
| Aug 27 21:01:00 | 34m 00s | Tiny Evolution Adventure | Graphics and sound are both excellent. The biting hit detection feels a little off to me. |
| Aug 28 14:06:00 | 17h 05m | Tad's Adventure | Not the killer seaweed! I'm having TMNT flashbacks! Difficult game, but very fun to play. |
| Aug 28 14:52:00 | 46m 00s | Meow for MUTATION! | Trying to isolate the right cats for future generations seems a bit tricky, but the use of the theme is superb and the game is interesting to play. |
| Aug 29 01:08:00 | 10h 16m | Robot Panic | Pretty soothing music for a game called Robot Panic. :P |
| Aug 29 13:34:00 | 12h 26m | Homo Vermes | I thought I had the neuron placement figured out at first, but eventually I really did get it. Nice game. Fun to play. |
| Aug 30 16:16:00 | 26h 42m | ExoSlime | Very well done. The graphics and sound were great, and the gameplay was decent. I found myself finding ways to skip past the slimes in the later stages rather than fight them. |
| Aug 31 13:10:00 | 20h 54m | Hard Life 3X | Fun to play and very challenging. Good job. |
| Aug 31 13:48:00 | 38m 00s | Influenza | Waiting for someone to go up a floor after you had everyone on the lower floors infected was a bit frustrating, but overall, great game! |
| Sep 2 23:07:00 | 57h 19m | The Origin | The note-taking mechanic didn't seem to add anything to the game. Given that there were no enemies or obstacles to challenge you, it felt more like a waste of your time as you simply hold down the key and wait. The theme, mood, graphics, and sound are all decent, however. |
| Sep 3 03:58:00 | 4h 51m | Radioactive Space Bunnies | Apparently you can safely walk through the spikes, provided you don't fall on them from above (Not sure if this is intentional or a bug). This definitely makes some of the seemingly impossible areas much easier to navigate. The music was very catchy, and the camera zooming in and out as you moved added to the visuals nicely. |
| Sep 3 04:06:00 | 8m 00s | MJT Evolution | The music getting more complex as you level up was a very nice touch. It's too bad you couldn't get more of the gameplay finished; it looks like your game had lots of potential. |
| Sep 6 01:50:00 | 69h 44m | Evolution Heroes | Loved the classic videogame references. The tiny graphical style was great! |
| Sep 6 14:04:00 | 12h 14m | Paradigm Shift | Loved the transition in terms of mood. The music was very nice, as well. |
| Sep 6 14:38:00 | 34m 00s | Red Underpants : Minislip and the strange helicopter | Very nice game. The constant smiling on the character manages somehow to not be creepy, but rather infectiously silly. Great look, and fun to play! |
| Sep 6 14:48:00 | 10m 00s | Adapt or Die! | I can't get any of the versions to work, sadly. The web version gets stuck on the second level (I'm running Chrome on Win7). I even tried downloading the .exe, but it wouldn't load at all. Too bad, I was looking forward to trying it out. |
| Sep 6 15:40:00 | 52m 00s | Paprika Blue | I know it doesn't need repeating, but the graphical style and music are incredible. It's too bad there wasn't more to the game in terms of gameplay. |
| Sep 6 16:00:00 | 20m 00s | Total argument | Ironically, I did better with the Creationist team. Silliness abounds, making for an enjoyable and humorous experience. |
| Sep 6 16:24:00 | 24m 00s | Evolve & Conquer | I tried a few times, but was never able to completely finish a game due to it crashing about halfway through. Seems like a neat concept, and I started to get the hang of the rules a bit after awhile. |
| Sep 6 17:10:00 | 46m 00s | Evolve Arena | So, does the game show when other people are online, then? Maybe we should organize a group playtest? I'll try being online at 2:00 p.m. CST (roughly two hours from now), to see if anyone else wants to give it a go. If no one shows up the first time, I'll check back at 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., as well. |
| Sep 6 19:41:00 | 2h 31m | LD24 Tower Defense | Seemed very hard at first, and then trivially easy after I got a certain setup. Nice music, and interesting take on the genre. |
| Sep 6 20:13:00 | 32m 00s | Mass | I think I understand the rules, and I'm pretty sure on more than one occasion, I've ended the first arena with much more than half the field controlled. Yet, it still tells me I have 49 or 47%. Good sound effects, and an interesting concept. |
| Sep 6 20:22:00 | 9m 00s | Eggplant farm | Very clever action puzzle game. I like that you choose your descendant after each generation. |
| Sep 6 21:04:00 | 42m 00s | Dawn of Dimension | Bonus tip for everyone that plays. I found a power-up, Wings, at Location (2, 4). It's a big help for moving around. If I find any more, I'll be sure to share. |
| Sep 7 15:05:00 | 18h 01m | Ikaruga Devolved | Agreed with earlier comments, the evolution mechanic needs to be more noticeable or have some kind of a description between rounds of what changed. Also, agreed that the shield felt overpowered. An energy bar for the shield or something to that effect would fix it, I think. Otherwise, very nice game and fun to play. |
| Sep 7 15:23:00 | 18m 00s | The SuperBugs | A lot of fun to play, even if the evolution aspect isn't very noticeable. The fire and ice weapons worked as expected, and it was very pleasing to see that even the platforms would "heat up" and change color if you applied some fire to them. |
| Sep 7 17:05:00 | 1h 42m | Dorobou Neko! | I think this a really good "Chu-Chu Rocket"-style game. Good work. Sadly, as mentioned above, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the theme. |
| Sep 7 22:04:00 | 4h 59m | The Fromagist | This is a perfectly cromulent game. :P I made The Toxic Avenger on my first run though, it seems, at vat "SeS" of all places. |
| Sep 7 23:02:00 | 58m 00s | Missing Links | The creationist skeptic was great, asking for yet another link each time. Also, the fact that your character's sprite is just a wide-brimmed hat made me laugh. Decent job on the humor aspect. |
| Sep 8 01:35:00 | 2h 33m | Natural Selection: breeding by God | I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I couldn't get the app to run. The screenshots look really cool. I hope I can get it working before the voting ends. |
| Sep 8 03:49:00 | 2h 14m | Evowing | The particle effects after the first two levels started to cause some serious slowdown. Otherwise, a fun game with good music. |
| Sep 8 03:51:00 | 2m 00s | Octogeddon | This is still my favorite compo entry of all, even after playing over 75 entries! Great job. Very addictive! |
| Sep 8 04:19:00 | 28m 00s | Your Offspring | Seems like learning how to shoot is a much better way to leave the pit than learning how to jump and fly. I liked the concept of evolving over generations to escape a pit, though, and wouldn't mind seeing this idea fleshed out more. |
| Sep 8 04:46:00 | 27m 00s | Unnatural Selection | DarLOSE! That cracked me up, actually. Good execution. Music was nice, but the game seemed pretty difficult. |
| Sep 9 21:25:00 | 40h 39m | Preemptive Evolution | The speed of the game could definitely be improved dramatically. The concept and gameplay are decent, though. Good job. |
| Sep 9 21:43:00 | 18m 00s | Adventure-Man vs the Evo Monsters! | Nice to see someone else who participated in NaGaDeMo! I remember playing your game Illume, and apart from the problems that GameSalad caused, it seemed pretty cool. Good luck, and I hope you can overcome GameSalad's problems in the future! |
| Sep 10 00:53:00 | 3h 10m | SHOE | Google Chrome tells me it can't find the link. It seems like other people have played it before, so has the game been recently taken down? |
| Sep 10 21:01:00 | 20h 08m | Cuboid Sandbox | Quite possibly the most entrancing and soothing entry. I'm absolutely going to make a desktop background out of this. |
| Sep 12 04:46:00 | 31h 45m | Bugs | I got a ClassNotFoundException, sadly. |
| Sep 12 12:20:00 | 7h 34m | Icarus: the Evolution of Flight | Only a few days left. I hope you guys get it uploaded in time. |
| Sep 12 12:36:00 | 16m 00s | Simplex Evolution Tabulae Ludus | As pythong already mentioned, if the game board is full, and the computer has no legal moves, the game freezes. I feel like either the game should end, as pythong suggested, as either a draw or a win for whichever player had the most evolution points, or the player with no legal moves should be forced to skip that turn. <br/> <br/>Overall, good game, and I really liked the implementation of a unique board game! |
| Sep 12 12:52:00 | 16m 00s | How evolution really works? | The "musical intro bit as comedic punchline to your failures" was hilarious. Great music and sense of humor. All around, a very enjoyable experience. |
| Sep 12 17:00:00 | 4h 08m | UN-Natural Selection | Everything about this game is very well put together. The challenges quickly become very difficult, indeed. It seems it is absolutely essential that you maintain at least some diversity in your tribe, since some traits are impossible to breed without it. A list of suggestions that would make the game more accessible, however, would be: Show a small version of the mixture chart, in the background maybe, or have a way to bring it up. Maybe consider showing a preview of what the next challenge will entail, so you can prepare better (since right now it's too easy to get a dead-end through no fault of your own), and maybe differentiate the legs and arms a bit more (The different stages of teeth and fur are very easy to identify, but for arms and legs, it's a lot harder). <br/> <br/>Despite those minor issues, this is one of the best games I've played, and it is spot on with the theme. :) |
| Sep 12 19:11:00 | 2h 11m | The Tower with Traps in it | The mood and the sound were both great, good job! The gameplay felt a bit random and unfocused, however. The difficulty curve shifts dramatically upon hitting the last stage. Prior to that point, I wasn't even sure if you COULD die. Starting over from the very beginning after death was rather annoying, but the death animation was very cool to watch. |
| Sep 17 02:24:00 | 103h 13m | 1 Million B.C. | The grenade seemed disappointingly useless. I kept thinking, "I wish I had a shovel like my soldiers." :) Nice graphics, and going through the different eras was pretty neat. |
| Sep 17 23:39:00 | 21h 15m | Evodash | I really liked it. The last part seemed unfinished, and I honestly expected something to happen when I reached 0 years ago, but nothing did. If it were completed, I think it would be a great little game. |
| Sep 18 00:21:00 | 42m 00s | level-32 | If it were finished, it would definitely have real potential. Keep working on it; I'd love to see the finished thing! |
| Sep 18 00:36:00 | 15m 00s | Protean | A lot of fun to play, and the theme was well-implemented. Good job! |
