nice graphics
Movement was great, but I don't see the evolution theme in your game. Maybe it's just me. Overall it was nice and smooth.
I like the title screen :D
@TobiasNL: Yeah, I didn't put enough thought into the theme. I had so many bugs while developing this that it just became overwhelmingly difficult to stick to "Evolution". If anything, I will incorporate more levels later and perhaps special abilities the Player can pickup to upgrade its movements / weapons.
I actually really liked how you described the theme in an abstract way in your initial description. Even though it's a super short platformer, I was imagining I would play with a man, who represents mankind, in his ascend to the upper realms of the sky and finally into the heavens!
That would be really neat. I also really like the music and the atmosphere, just wish it was longer.
Maybe at the end of his epic escalation he evolves wings and flies! :D
That is some really rad music. You did a good job on the controls as well. Also I wouldn't sweat the theme, I have YET to see an entry where there aren't people bitching about the theme in the comments.
Hey thanks for the comments guys! @Kassoon: I agree man, the theme is hard to identify in many of the games posted. And really, nothing stops me from continuing on this platform after the competition and actually implement something more along the lines of "evolution"
@4urentertainment: Really nice ideas! I think the evolution of new body parts (like wings) would be a great addition :)
The lovely music got me pumped, the crazy animation made me smile. Nice visuals. Not much content though.
A little simple. Needs some enemies and more levels! That being said, what you have is awesome so far! Music is TOP NOTCH!!!
That music is badass!
It's such a shame that you ran out of time to flesh out the gameplay and theme, because the graphics are great and the actual platforming feels good.
I would definitely play a more developed version of this.
You can't go wrong with a cherry pixel sky :D and I'm with everyone else when I say that in game music is brilliant! This game made me want more!!
Wicked music!!
I played, I jumped, I got to the end, I had fun! That's a game right there!!
High five!!!
A fun little game but that end! What happened? What was that totemic object? A red flag you say? Hmmm... I didn't know that the history of mankind was just one huge capture the flag match! xD
Give me a chiptune music game and 90s feel and I'm sold! :) 5/5 in audio.
The music is cool, but the rest of the game could really have used a bit more diversion; right now the only real 'challenge' is to not fall into a pit. Thumbs up on the color choices! :)
GREAT music!!
Graphics are very nice and the music bit sounds very classic to me :)
Also some nice level design ideas in the short time it lasts.
Pretty nice graphics and awesome music, too little gameplay though. I like what I see, but I'd like to see a little bit more. In terms of content, it's just sweet.
nice graphics and nice level design :)
Great music and nice graphics! It seems like kind of a loose interpretation of the theme though. Controls could use a little tuning. It's a bit too sensitive.
