I like the narrative :-) I chuckle every time it gets to those scenes. The decreasing score provides a good challenge! The graphics look positively neon. The loop is a bit repetitive but the witty dialogue more than makes up for it :-) Nice job!
Nice work making the voices different. Cutscenes are a tad long, I think. The short dialogue-interludes mid-level feel quite well, in contrast. Maybe concentrating a little bit of story in that could potentially work better (think Portal or Bastion)
..this is actually pretty good. It feels complete. The graphics are aesthetically pleasing, and the glowiness hides the detail quite well. It also gets kinda Spore-ish later on.
LOVE the music. Adventurous :)
And on the second stage I noticed "Oh, it's Evolution" :P
The voice acting is amazing :D
Solid entry!
Beautiful game.
Haha. A great game, very polished feeling. I only got 399 points (the bulk of them in levels 1 + 2), so I can't comment on the "true ending", but what I saw of the cutscenes was very funny and enjoyable.
Difficulty? Pretty hard to get 700 points.
Music? the backing track got a bit repetitive after a while, but it suited the feeling of the game.
Graphics? The neon theme was nice and bright. Only problem was probably my own incometence: I kept thinking my gun-sight thing was an enemy, and tried to avoid it.
Fun? Very.
BUT:
It wouldn't exit? I tried escape, but it didn't do anything. So, it took away from the polished feeling a little bit.
Also, some green squares appeared too close to the spikey obstacles to be obtainable without harming yourself.
Highlight? Definately when Fred evolved the final time. I feel a meme coming on.
thats amazing and the best thing is the narrative :)
Cool game :) One of the best audio work so far. Great music with good narratives and sound effects. Well done. Would've been cool if you could've eaten the smaller creatures when you grew up.
love the narration, high challenge, i really liked it :D
Voice acting is awesome. Controls are simple and easy to use.. Music is great, but could grate after a while.
Love the graphcis & story.
I really love the story, the writing was more than excellent!
Great game! The gameplay is simple, but the narration keeps it interesting.The only complaint that I have is that the music gets a bit repetitive after a few levels. All in all, very good.
The voices are cool, but I found the score mechanic to be a little too unforgiving.
Great job! I need to give it another go to unlock the secret level...
Haha unlocked the true ending, nice. Loved your cut scenes.
Decent graphics, simple and fast gameplay (I choose not to shoot but to focus on collecting the green stuff which worked great). Your game shines with it's audio, job well done!
-I'm actually voting a full humor bar for you, sir.
glowwwww
hah
It was good enough to play through the whole thing lol. Level one was a little too long though. I thought for a moment... that's it? just eating green blocks? Then boom I completed the level :D
Lets see in source the true ending ^^
That was not enough to unlock the true ending ;(?...
I need to try again then - so far this is the best game I played, but during the second play I kinda miss the "skip" button
Ah... sorry, I didn`t read that they are skippable. My bad :P
Really neat game, mostly because of the narrative. It's really good fun though, and I like how it shows how story can drive the game as opposed to the other way around. Good one.
700 points, srly ?
How is that possible ?!
My best is 135 :/
Anyway, I think your time has come too and Ludum Dare should grant you two humor medals!
THE MUSIC IS HORRID.
That is all.
Overall, very slick and fun with really nice and humorous cut-scenes. One, small issue I couldn't reach 700 as after three playthroughs I had 693 points and then on my fourth go started to lose points and didn't get to the 'true ending'. :( still very fun whilst playing, though!
Awesome!!
Game was great, music was fantastic, cut-scenes, (in a 48hr game!!!), were way funny!! :)
Top job!!
Really cool music, really cool voice acting. For such a simple game idea I found myself enjoying it a a lot.
oooo. That made me chuckle lots. Will return to get the true ending. Can't wait to show other people this one.
I'm doing it!
Turned out fantastic, it's amazing how well that all came together. No one element is mindblowing, BUT everything works really well! There's no weak points.
Pretty cool entry with no real downsides, impressive! Even the audio narrative is actually awesome ;)
Quiet fan of the scoring system, great idea as the whole game.
Absolutelly great! Voice is awesome! And game is really addictive :)
This looks and sounds great. Awesome voice-acting. Somehow the shooting in stage 3 broke the game on my computer. It became pretty laggy.
Wow, love combined originality of the story, graphics and gameplay! My only suggestion is that you speed up the evolution and game pacing in general. Other than that well done!
Nice work. At first I thought the voice-over cutscenes went on a little long but grew to like them ;) Gameplay is pretty fun, sometimes felt the bullet collision was a little inaccurate, but overall lots of fun. Great work -
The audio was really good, both cutscenes and actual music. The game has a really complete narrative that I thoroughly enjoyed. Overall a solid entry!
The voices were awesome!
Very very good game. I love cutscenes and story. Great art and music. I wasn't able to score 700 points its too hard :P
AWESOME, I love it! The most funny game in the 50 games that I have rated since the beginning of the me rating stuff here, great mood and theme also.
Fun game; the graphics and audio really rounded it out. Many thanks for a fine LD submission!
A damned good effort, Sir.
Sadly I'm rubbish at this sort of game, but I enjoyed it anyway!
YOUR ACCENT IS SO BEAUTIFUL~!
Really good job! :) I loved the satirical story and voice acting. The graphics and music were great too.
Some of the most fun voice acting I've seen in the competition so far! The music is pretty nice too. I really like the color schemes, even if the graphics are rather simple.
I'm not a fan of the way the difficulty scales though. The way you have the game currently, becoming larger or faster both make your life harder, which hardly feels "right" for the theme, and is a somewhat frustrating mechanic in its own right.
Solid, great narrative, engrossing gameplay. Saving this to my favorites list.
Love it. No way I'm getting 700 points though :P
Awesome work with the voice over. Loved every bit of it =)
Loads of fun, but I couldn't unlock the ending.
I'll give you a 5star rating for nearly everything. Except for fun! It's really no fun trying to get 700 points and nearly not reaching above 100. It the limit was 200.. I'd give it a go, but 700?
Now thing is, I really, really wanted to see the other ending. Can't you just upload it? Pleaaase :-D
Cool! I had a giggle.
I didn't unlock the true ending though :(.
I...AM...FRED!!!
:D Hilarious!
By the way, Getting 700 is really hard.
Very nice, controls are nice and smooth
great game, very well narrated.
But i was a little disappointed with this "you need 700 points to see the ending thing" because i only get about 250 Points, and I am pretty sure that i wouldn't get much more if I tried it again.
It was too difficult to hold your points in the later levels, because the green things spawn to slow. So i didn't even try it a second time.
But nevertheless a really great game, well done, good Job!
Great stuff -- love the controls, and first 5-star fun entry rated ;)
I'm... supposed to turn into the last thing, right? That's not just because I ended the stage before it with 666 points?
Awesome job, and the ending gave me a good laugh!
Loved the humour and voice overs - the game was fun too. Not sure I could ever get 700 though. My best score of 43 seems a long way off that!
I don't know if it's the incredible music, or the time limit, or just the sheer frantic atmosphere of it all, but no game I've played so far made me sweat as much as this. Quite a jolt of an experience.
Great job.
