Couldn't run and don't know how to fix this error. ld24.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- require_all (LoadError)
from ld24.rb:1

You should at least provide a built version or something for people that don't have ruby installed, or can't/don't know how to use the command line.

Also, I get the same error as Bemmu - windows, cygwin ruby 1.8.7

The game closed itself after some Adversity picks, looks like crash.

This was old-school, to be sure. Like games I used to play (and write) on Commodore PETs and TRS-80's. It was fun to watch the population grow, and I liked the names. It would be more fun if the simulation was more interactive, and if you could do something positive, instead of only picking how to screw your dudes over. Fun, though, and obviously there's a good bit of math and code behind it.

This was pretty neat. I do wish it was more visual, even an ascii-art or curses representation of the ecosystem. I also had trouble understanding what effect my choices were having on the game. Good take on the theme, would love to see this expanded on further.

The game closed itself after about 10000 ticks. I like the idea, but i had no clue what am i doing :)

The idea behind this is very cool, but the most interesting aspects of the simulation are not visible to me when I'm playing.

I can see my creatures dying and escaping, but I don't have much information about their different traits or how they are evolving.

I would like to see the gameplay more strongly linked with the simulation.

Runs fine on Linux, after chasing down the proper gems to install.

Cool game. Very outside the box, I like it - it feels like there is a lot of depth to it. I didn't really figure out how to consistently win - it felt fairly random to me - but I feel that with more time and some digging through your code, I'll figure things out more.

Overall, this is an excellent entry into the contest! Great work!

I agree with DaveDobson.
