Fatal Error: couldn't load some texture

We enjoyed the game at the start, but the DNA combination mechanic wasn't too clear, and we got into a situation where we couldn't transform into the right animal to progress several times (we dropped all our DNA before going to level 3, and got stuck with only once piece).

One other comment is that the text on the DNA screen flashes up too fast. Perhaps you should swap the periods for which it is visible and invisible?

Other than that, good use of a theme, however unscientifically accurate :)

Good use of theme, and nice gameplay. I do wish it was easier to figure out what does what and why.

This was awesome. :) Sound would have put this in my top ten. ;)

I can't play without d3dx9_43.dll.
Is this a complete game ?

zx81: Have you got the "DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)"? (link in description)
I didn't want to package that as it's 90 MB and many people might already have it through other games.

The upgrade idea was good. But the levels are so tight, I just got trapped in little gaps all the time, which really got old fast.

Like the turn anim, like elastomania! :)

Fantastic use of the theme. I really enjoyed mixing the different strands of dna. Maybe it would have been nice if i could fight back against the crab things, but really nice job!

Good Idea, but while changing animals I got stuck off screen. Was really difficult figuring out right combinations for things.

Chokes WINE. I really should scan the description for Microsoft dependencies before I try running this stuff. >_<

Nice idea! I loved the idea of configuring your DNA blocks to create specific properties (and even animal type! :D). I was not able to get past the turtle though...

That was a good concept, it is different from the other games I have played.

Could you make a Mac version?
