Liked it - nice idea and good implementation. It does get a bit repetitive.

timtipgames 2012-08-27 02:14

very short and I just can't find the theme?

nedortgames 2012-08-27 02:17

You evolve from boat to boat!

The first time I played, I didn't read the instructions and thought I was meant to _avoid_ the floating people. Oops.

I played again, trying to collect them - that makes the game much more challenging.

I enjoyed the game, especially the music.

nedortgames 2012-08-27 02:25

Thanks alot.
I myself really didn`t like the music.

golex 2012-08-27 02:34

Enjoyed it too - missing the theme a bit. Still fun.

It's fun, but very repetitive

I'm with the others in that it doesn't fit the theme - zooming along in a boat thing from sharks != evolution. evolving from boat to boat doesn't make sense, it looks like a powerup if anything.

Kind of short. Controls are wonky. Graphics could use a bit better work. Evolving from boat to boat? I didn't even notice. But at least you put forth a good effort. Maybe next time :D

Confused by the controls. Why are the main screen and in-game using different controls? There is also a crosshair in game which seems not to do anything. I didn't see the evolution theme anywhere in this.

Ah. Reread. I didn't realize the red circles were good. The coins looked obviously good but I was trying to avoid the red circles.

nedortgames 2012-08-27 14:19

Yes, crosshair does not do anything yet as I said I will continue to develop this game outside of the ludum dare compo!

I didn't enjoy it. It was too hard and repetitive.

Quite fun, and the music is a nice addition :)

This game is addictive! The art assets look nice and the music is pleasant. I was confused at the switch between arrow keys and WASD between the menu and the Main Game, although this is probably my fault for not reading help first xD I can clearly see the evolving from boat to boat as part of the theme. However, I found an odd glitch. After hitting enough sharks to put my health bar to zero, I didn't die, but I died after hitting a health powerup! Kinda odd.

nedortgames 2012-08-27 17:30

Weird! I`ll check it out!

gbellgames 2012-08-28 02:29

The music is pretty good, but the game is kinda pointless. What's the point in making my ship bigger? What's the money for? Dodging the sharks is pretty easy.

The audio is really cool, it is a good idea, the graphics were simple yet... I wouldn't change them when you will continue the work on that game, they somehow fit the environment :)
For now, unfortunately it is an unfinished game, however keep up the good work, and I would lower the volume of the music, I got scared in the first moments of the game :P

Really liked the song, but not so much the game.. Evolve in another boat should change the gameplay aswell, and i can't understand why title screen use different buttons of the real game!

yselftool 2012-09-02 00:26

It is a good game as far as it has graphics, gameplay, controls, music and it's hard enough.
But it's a little short (once learned kinda easy) and the theme is except from the title not existing, because velocity, controls, music - short: everything - keeps the same (ok, some graphics change).
The error of LD23 does not matter, and it's still fun to play! Keep on going, games are fun!

zakchaos 2012-09-05 03:14

good start, I think you could make it into something great with some more time and polish! I personally didn't like the music, but thats just a personal thing

Any chance for a Mac version?
