Interesting concept of evolution and nice music. It could be better, yes, but I can see where you were trying to go.
This is my first LD (though I've been programming for a long white), and I found that using GameMaker really made things easier, so maybe consider using something other than java?
This is a good game!
But.. nothing happens when I win...
I don't know if I was doing something wrong, but I had to major problems. Firstly shooting didn't seem to do anything for me, except very rarely (like once a minute a bullet would appear). Secondly, when I died and muated (-5 health), nothing actually happened.
I'm on Ubuntu 21.04 Java 1.6.0_24
I win, I win! Death to the purple bats and the bananas!
I was expecting, maybe, to evolve as I killed stuff. I like the different drops that you get, and that the monsters drop stuff before they die, so you can sort of harvest the banana for the <-> powerups.
Needs more sound effects and some way of winning. animations would have been nice as well. Anyways. Well done. It's your first attempt after all.
I think you have great potential; try working with sprites if your art really bothers you, because making pixel art doesn't essentially require drawing skill to look great. That said, I think that it was relatively great, and I love this music!
Took me a second to get the controls, but the game itself is quite nice. :) I like the music, too! :D
nice game! i cant see why you beat yourself up about it, its playable and the concept works. i liked the controls.
Too bad the enemies don't respawn after killing them all. Nice idea!
You put yourself down too much, the art isnt that bad. The music is very good too.
Good effort, I think you're a little hard on yourself - LD is tough and you've got something out there that you can build on. I had a bit of trouble with the shooting, the bullets only appeared infrequently but other than that it could work well. I liked the idea of evolving when you die.
The bullet speed depends on your framerate, I didn't really realize that until I tried it on my Macbook :/
Nice music and your game is fun :) But enemis don't respawn, it's finish when we kill all ?
Cool idea, but lacks polish. The gameplay isn't interesting enough right, enemies are all the same bascially, just different images. I was able to defeat all of them within 3 or so deaths - not Try Again or anything from there.
Don't force the player to pick up his mouse for restarting in a keyboard-based game.
More sfx would be nice, music was good. The graphics, however, are rather poor. Hit detection should be pixel-perfect, but all the hitboxes seem to be squares.
