Barely works with wine for me! Crashes two-three minutes into the game! Gonna give it a few more tries to give a more accurate rating!

Ok, got it to work!
It's very hard to stay alive for long! The music, sounds, and voice are great though :)
Download link just takes me to a google drive signup page. I suggest using dropbox - doesn't force other people to sign up in order to get your files.
Sweet! The screenshots do NOT do this justice. At first I thought, "what does this have to do with evolution?" but then I saw the enemies evolving -- I didn't have to read the documentation to figure that out. Awesome music, too. Game is a bit hard.
I manage to reach level 5! :D
The music and sounds in general are awesome! It's very funny too, great work dude! ;)
Arkazon: thanks for your suggestion. I moved the files to dropbox.
I dont have much to say for this game.
I can't get this game to run, even with the installer. The .exe appears in my process list, but nothing ever happens. Windows 7.
I'm really excited to give this a try too. I like that you're using actual natural selection to evolve your enemies.
I really loved the music! The game was a bit too hard for me to really see evolution in action; too much multitasking (steering in one direction and aiming in another).
That's an interesting and unique concept! Though many games use the same base idea (mutating the enemies and combining (kinda) them), I really liked how the trigger is you taking damage. =D
The only downside are the graphics... =X
But the song was really good! =D
quill18: can you tell me what kind of CPU and graphics card you have?
In the off chance that this is something to do with the custom pixel shaders, can anyone for whom the original doesn't work try this: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/100794454/AstronomicalAffrayNoPS.zip . The only thing changed here is the removal of the pixel shaders. If you use this for voting please keep in mind that you aren't getting the full package re graphics & mood.
To everyone: thanks for your kind comments on the music and sound!
It fits well the theme, but the gameplay it's a bit repetitive
Quite fun, nice choice of music and sfx. Gameplay wasn't all too shabby either, but it didn't feel very natural. The movement would probably be nicer without any smoothing.
Either way, good work there, it's a pretty addicting game!
Really tough! Great music, I liked the voice work too.
The normal mode is actually pretty hard, thanks for the Easy mode. I like the controls, the music was nice! Also the enemy feedback0based evolution is a great idea.
Can't run because WINE can't put things in the MATE system tray. Don't know why this needs an icon in my tray, but...
Got to level 14! Fun gameplay, enthralling tunes. I'd have to play it a few more times to see the evolution happening, but I liked it.
Unfortunately XNA games never work in linux.
I wish this game was more fun to play, the sound is great but it's let down by the gameplay itself :( Maybe I just suck at it.
