It took me a minute to figure out what was happening, but then i got it! the first level was good, but then on the second i could'nt do it at all, it was super hard!

Fun, but the timer made it too difficult. I did make it to the third level though :) Perhaps 10 extra seconds, or a button to "start" instead of automatically counting down would have made it more playable.

Nice puzzler with well-designed puzzles. Relation to the theme is very contrived, though. And when I finish, it just starts over?

Thank you for all your comments.

I see, maybe it's a little hard.

And yes, when you finish it, it just starts over.

Time ran out at the end, so the ending/replay screen had to be merged into one, without further information.

Sorry, just couldn't figure out what to do.... But I can see it has potential. Maybe a little more helpful instructions?

Spooky - the music kept on playing when I closed the game!

eyehawk 2012-08-28 08:03

I like the novel idea! To make it even better the gameplay could do with a bit more explanation - I wasn't sure how I was supposed to create a path at the start.

Really hard and super stressful! Liked it a lot. This, as most LD games, would benefit from a bit more content, a couple of easier levels at the start.

Could be extended a lot if you make an after-compo version, with new special tiles and the like.

Really funny puzzle.

A little to hard, but really funny.

brother-byto 2012-08-28 08:14

Hmm, i thought it is possible to figure out how it works by just clicking around in the first level.
Need to check whether i can add more instructions.

This music keeps playing thing is really funny, you need to turn it off by pressing space while playing.

Good game and well done to get it done in the time. Saying that, there's zero connection to the theme and it's not madly original. I did play it for quite a while though!

As a fan of both the sliding and piping puzzles that are this game's ancestors I had a nice nostalgic time. The hint of a story was enough to keep me coming back.

It was very difficult starting from the second level. I'm usually not good at block-sliding puzzles, but I somehow made it to the end. The game was barely related to the theme, but it was fun.

The graphics could be better but this is still a nice game!

oh dear, Java in a browser, always tricky. On Chrome and Internet Explorer it was unplayable for me because of graphical corruption.

Fun, reminds of a game of my youth. Pretty much everything needs more work though :)

vilya 2012-08-30 21:08

It took me a few goes to figure out how to play. It really needs clearer instructions! But once I figured it out, it's actually a pretty good little game. Well done!

vigrid 2012-08-31 16:26

I fail to see where does it have anything to do with Evolution? Anyway - great that you made something in 48 hours :)

cthulhu 2012-08-31 22:32

Yeah found him!
I liked the levels

josriley 2012-09-02 01:54

Made it to the 4th lvl before giving up. I suck at puzzle games...but I really enjoyed this one. It was sort of spooky how long the music went on after I was done. Good work!

krides 2012-09-02 01:54

I like how sokoban-style it is, but it is also super-hard, and perhaps needs some verbal explanation before you throw the player into the pit, because I really stressed out a lot when the timer ran out an I couldn't figure out how the black thingy works. That said, the fact that I did care so much means that the game is engaging, so kudos. Always glad to see puzzle games.

The link isn't working for me. :(

Nice game but very hard to complete against the clock.
