Aug 27 12:30:00 A Matter of L and D I didn't really feel like there were any goals, so I didn't really feel compelled to do anything. The simulation part is great but I wasn't asked to explore it and see what was possible.
Aug 27 12:38:00 8m 00s IO VUOLE ZEN Ahahaha you so are a troll, but in a good way! I liked the way it was the gameplay itself that evolved. I also like how you didn't allow killing bunnies. Unfortunately I stopped there because it was so hard! I did get to the end once, but I didn't know I had to pickup that thing so it just said 'game over'. Felt a bit unfair because I'd completed the challenge. Didn't manage to get their again. <br/> <br/>Overall good job!
Aug 27 12:43:00 5m 00s Eve Didn't really understand what I was supposed to be doing. A clear goal would have been nice.
Aug 27 13:02:00 19m 00s Small Worm I really liked this game! But it is a bit grindy! It would have been just as fun if it took less food to level up. I completed in 13 minutes 33 seconds - by the end I just left it running on it's own - the game could have done with a bit more challenge after a few levels maybe. <br/> <br/>Good job!
Aug 27 13:07:00 5m 00s Evolization A great little concept! I found it very difficult however because I could never find enough food to stay alive. With more work I think this could be a really nice game.
Aug 27 13:12:00 5m 00s RE-evolution: The Legend of Hopper This is a great looking game. I couldn't get past the spear guys though, they throw spears too fast! That coupled with the fact that you go all the way to the beginning again (and have to sit through the cut-scenes again) meant that I didn't get very far.
Aug 27 13:19:00 7m 00s Nom's Evolvathlon Really very good. The procedural level generation is awesome, but I think making the first few levels hand-made would be better at teaching the mechanics. This could make an excellent puzzle game with more work!
Aug 27 13:24:00 5m 00s VENA (Viral Evolution: Nano Attack) For those that can't use VisualBoyAdvance because 'PowerPC applications are no longer supported', try BoycottAdvance http://bannister.org/software/ba.htm <br/> <br/>Firing up the game now!
Aug 27 13:34:00 10m 00s Deep Sea Fish Loves You Forever Just got stuck at the end of loading for me :(
Aug 27 13:47:00 13m 00s Sprout Very nicely polished, excellent animations and graphics, but yeah it did get boring after a while without some of sort of big change in gameplay. Perhaps some flies that sap energy if you eat them.
Aug 27 14:02:00 15m 00s Embryotic I had troubles dragging the food to the embryos. They seemed to get stuck once I started dragging them. Also the rate at which the energy decreases is so fast I had no chance!
Aug 27 14:08:00 6m 00s Survival of the Fitterest Oh dear. On Mac it just sits there bouncing in the dock.
Aug 27 14:15:00 7m 00s Planets Not sure I completely understood how it worked. Sometimes I could shoot asteroids really fast and other times not at all? Is it possible to make a planet completely full of water? They seemed to get stuck at a certain stage for me. <br/> <br/>My score was 265
Aug 27 14:21:00 6m 00s Evolving Threat I liked it. Great graphics and the controls worked well. Got a bit boring after a while though because nothing really new was introduced. <br/> <br/>My score was 1395 :)
Aug 27 14:26:00 5m 00s Evidently 27/08/2012 15:25:00.950 [0x0-0x560560].com.apple.JarLauncher: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no lwjgl in java.library.path <br/> <br/>any ideas on how to get it to work for me?
Aug 27 14:40:00 14m 00s DNA Wars I really liked the mechanic but it lacked a goal to try and aim for.
Aug 27 14:46:00 6m 00s Moche Wow this game is just completely insane! I don't think I really 'got it' but the concept was really cool. Been using Unity for a few years now and I have no idea how you did that! <br/> <br/>With a bit more time and thought put into giving the game some objectives this could be great.
Aug 27 15:04:00 18m 00s EVO - X Didn't really get it. Do you have to eat the purple things to be able to jump? The level design could have been better if that was the case as it just led you downwards but then you couldn't get back up again. a small flat room filled with just enough enemies to enable you to evolve and get the 'jump' so you could escape may have been better.
Aug 27 15:19:00 15m 00s Battle Arena Evolution! Lol nice voice over! A solid entry in all areas. Could have done with some variation in the combat, I got bored pretty quickly.
Aug 27 15:43:00 24m 00s Geomelution Yep super hard! Couldn't even get past the being a line (trackpads suck *sigh*), but I found it fun nonetheless. Good job
Aug 27 15:47:00 4m 00s Adapt or Die! After downloading the package it just gets stuck on a white screen for me. Mac OS X Lion.
Aug 27 15:53:00 6m 00s Microbe Madness! Very nice, good fun if a little bit easy to win. Multiplayer would definitely be great fun.
Aug 27 15:56:00 3m 00s Bots Vs Fleshbags More interaction would have been nice, but at least you know your environment now. I hope you work on this some more!
Aug 27 16:07:00 11m 00s Firefly Good thing you made a tutorial because the controls were really quite complicated! Agree with mdkess, not knowing how well you were doing made the whole thing quite confusing.
Aug 27 16:17:00 10m 00s Journey of life Lol pretty funny but the cutscenes went on for aaaaages! Found level 2 unfair because there wasn't enough food spawning and just didn't get level 3 at all.
Aug 27 16:24:00 7m 00s Darwin's Little Pink Worm Considering you did that without an engine in javascript that's pretty impressive! I didn't really get what I was supposed to be doing though. I seemed to make progress without actually doing very well.
Aug 27 16:35:00 11m 00s Wormelution The mechanics and simulation were great, but it needs some sort of goal to keep you playing.
Aug 27 16:41:00 6m 00s Pirates and Gorillas Did you confuse 'evolution' with 'evasion' ? :S
Aug 27 16:43:00 2m 00s Way to Change Got stuck on the 'era of changing' :S
Aug 27 16:47:00 4m 00s The Darkness Evolve!! Lol epic!
Aug 27 16:58:00 11m 00s Shroom I too couldn't figure out how to replenish hunger. Also, the first time I played I levelled up much faster than the others, so that was confusing.
Aug 27 17:03:00 5m 00s Lamarck's Theory of Evolution I found this really difficult because bullets shoot forwards, but you need to run away from enemies to stay alive. I wonder what it would be like if the bullets fired backwards.
Aug 27 17:19:00 16m 00s Candevolution I just couldn't get past the room behind the red door :(
Aug 27 20:19:00 3h 00m OF SPECIES Did not manage to find a single bandage, hence bled to death quite rapidly. Having to hold down to investigate an area becomes a bit tedious as well. It was pretty to look at though, and the sounds worked well with the mood of the game.
Aug 27 20:46:00 27m 00s The life of Cat I enjoyed it up until the ending where you made the cat walk really slowly. It was really painful getting across that last level, I guess you wanted to make me experience what a slow painful death is like? It was good because it had a cool meaning, but I'm not sure I enjoyed it :D
Aug 27 20:58:00 12m 00s Tonality Awesome concept but it gets sooo hard! I thought this game used a similar skill to what you need when programming melodies which I do quite a lot, but then the mutation was so fast and large that I couldn't keep up. <br/> <br/>I still enjoyed it though, definitely one of the more innovative entries I've played :)
Aug 27 21:07:00 9m 00s God Called in Sick Today I actually really enjoyed this even though it's more of a toy. Some goals and a clear ending would be great. Still not sure if I discovered everything or not. Maybe have a list of what you need to create and then tick it off when you discover them.
Aug 28 22:15:00 25h 08m Keepers of The Harmony It's been ages since I made a Mac app, but can't you bundle the library inside the app?
Aug 28 22:21:00 6m 00s Octo-Darwin Vs Bat-Monkey Just couldn't find any way to get past 26m :S
Aug 28 22:32:00 11m 00s Adaption Crashed on Mac OS X Lion :( <br/> <br/>Dyld Error Message: <br/> Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/mpg123.framework/mpg123 <br/> Referenced from: /Users/USER/Downloads/*/Placeholder.app/Contents/MacOS/love <br/> Reason: no suitable image found.

Aug 28 22:38:00 6m 00s Peanuts! Your concept art looks great and it's a great gameplay idea. Just a shame you ran out of time. I hope your work more on it :)
Aug 28 22:45:00 7m 00s RobotCity On a Mac got the same error as above :(
Aug 28 23:05:00 20m 00s On the Origin of Block Awesome idea!
