keep running out of ammo on the "lion" stage :/
Well this wasn't made during the 72 hours, so I'm not going to rate it. The game's a lot of fun, though, and it's amazing that you made this in one hour. I only got as far as the Tiger stage, do you need something from an earlier level to beat the obstacle in the second screen?
Btw, it seemed like the game told me I'd found a secret passage or something in one of the plants. Was that just my mind playing tricks on me, or how can I access it?
Also, I found a bug. In the "housecat" stage, if you try to go through the door without knocking down the plants it says you need to "catch the butterflies".
In the end, it's a good game but you should refrain from posting random games you made as Ludum Dare entries. There's already a huge amount of entries that need attention and players, so don't clog up the tubes in the future. It simply isn't the place.
Not sure this qualifies as an entry in LD at all. None of this was produced during the compo/jam. :(
I'm only going to rate based on your actual level design. After playing several custom ZZT levels, this is incredibly basic at best. Sure, there are some unique interactions such as the gate, catching butterflies, and knocking over plants (I think), but they are not enough to make this stand alone.
Meanwhile, I'm looking VERY HARD to find something relating to evolution. While I found the texts saying "you are a kitten" to "you are a tiger", I find that rather effortless.
Just to clear things out, I do like to see ZZT levels, but the levels needs to be A LOT more unique.
Not bad, but jam.
LOL SHAREWARE MESSAGE
Anyhow...
Seeing as virtually nobody can be bothered rating this because they're all a bunch of pussies (no pun intented) who don't know how to use DOSBox, I have to rate this.
Innovationwise... it's not a stock standard genre so this gets something.
Fun... I played it to the end.
Theme... yes, you evolve!
Graphics... I suggest learning how to make doors. Or just use Kevedit's object library for that. With that said, this was 100% yellow-border free and wasn't too grating on the eyes so you get more than 1 star.
Audio gets a 1 star for being all the default ZZT sounds. Seriously, these are horrible. (Personally if I did an LD in ZZT I'd probably get this too.)
Humourous. Not amazingly, but it was alright.
Mood was pretty flat.
Overall, not completely crap.
