wuw thanks a lot dude, makes me want to make
(flames)< Unnatural Selection 2 >(flames)
with a real gameplay this time ( and maybe a nice subtitle to the game )
I really like your graphical style, +1 for that.
The game itself is pretty funny as well. The only thing I did not understand was what the game has to do with evolution :P
well i didn't want to make a classic concept with evolution in the gameplay ( plus i can't programm it ).
My main goal was to represent evolution the way i think it.
First i wanted to make a gunfight between a man and a primate, but : first, the gameplay SHOULD have been unbalanced and this wasn't my idea and second, i came with the idea of having two apes fighting.
This led me to "2001 space odyssey"'s openning and to "Quest for Fire".
For me THIS is evolution. It's a fight that doesn't need beeing always the smartest or the fastest, it is also pure brainless violence like shown in these movies.
I love the graphics! Reminds me 'Another world'(Out of this world).
PS: Another game named 'Unnatural Selection' :D
Nice graphics. I think there needs to be a gameplay element which discourages covering. Perhaps a cover timer?
Very simple, great artwork, nice job! Sadly I don't have anyone to play against, so I don't think I got the full experience. If you build on this game I hope you'll consider adding a single player experience. It might be fun if the game were an on-rails shooter a la Time Crisis but set in 2D.
well i can try to make a single player mode later, but i also thought implementing a DDR-like gameplay, maybe in a fencing game ( my first idea for this ludum dare ).
this is amazing!
I love single machine multiplayer games, graphics/animation are solid as well
the only problem I'm having is to find any connection to the theme ... but who cares, it's fun :)
+ great simple artwork
+ funny twist on the theme
- the gameplay could be a bit better
- too short
as said, the gameplay is as complex as i was able to programm, and the theme is explained higher on the comments :D
And thanks a lot for what you say about the art
I don't have anyone to play it with, but it looks good and well animated.
thanks D:
Unfortunately, don't have anyone to play it with, but I tried playing against myself and it seems really simple and clever. Kinda like rock-paper-scissors, with cavemen and guns.
yeah, the main problem comes from the inexistant strategy, tried a lot of things with the cover system to add some gameplay, but it ain't work :[
Nice little game! Loved the graphics!
The graphics really reminded me of "Another World"! LOVED the art style! Although I didn't have anyone to play it with me, I can really see that this game can be a lot of fun. Simple, yet VERY entertaining.
Reminded me of a little game I used to play when I was a kid (no, not with guns, lol!), where you gotta dodge the other player's slap on your hand... I'm not sure I can explain it correctly here, but it's the same feeling!
Really enjoyed it. Great job!
really thank you all for your feedbacks on the art, i'm really trying to devellop it for another game project i'm working on, ill try to keep you in touch :D
Reminds me of an old spectrum game I used to have.
Well this is the first 2 player game I've seen on Ludum Dare. Good job! Also I like how you can still shoot after the other player is dead! :D
I love your art style in this, very Another World. I also liked the subtle commentary on guns :)
Simple and fun. The mechanics are easy, but there's a lot of depth. I think that there should be some motivation to not hide all of the time - ie. some way to force a person out of cover. Anyway, I enjoyed it :)
@RobProductions : I think it's the 2 player game that saved the concept from beeing a failure
@Kassoon : Thanks, a lot of people say it reminds them Another World, i never thought of this game while making the assets, weird x)
@mdkess : yeah, i'm still trying to figure out how i could easily do it :D
My son and I had a lot of fun playing this for a few minutes.
Wish it was a bit more rock paper scissors -- not sure what other actions you could do, but something to force people out of cover.
Aw it's no fun alone :<
@amoaeba yuh i know, i started to think of how i could make a singleplayer mode, but it was too late :[
I hope you'll find find someone to play with
Hahaha, evolved gorillas with guns xD
Love this graphical style
I like simple games like this one :-) Nice job!
thank you all, a lot :D
Interesting game. Hard to really evaluate without someone to fight against.
Wish I could play against the computer
Great idea, very simple and great artwork. I played with my little sister and was very funny. Well done!
Love the graphics. Shame there wasn't time for a 1 player mode, but still for a first game it's excellent
thanks a lot :D
Nice :) I really liked the animation, will play this with someone leter hopefully.
Great graphics and sound, but doesn't feel very substantial.
this is a cool idea :) I like it
Monkeys, guns, good stuff! Geat name too.
