Great game ! Funny and always different !

sasoridama 2012-08-27 02:42

This is really clever! Good job.

qualityassurance 2012-08-27 04:46

Awesome. Great animation on just squares. The way they move like Jello is great!

polegar 2012-08-27 11:55

Awesome ! Really funny, and very smart ! And like in real life it's really hard to pick a girl against dumbass :p

ubear 2012-08-27 12:05

Awesome!

pierrec 2012-08-27 21:21

I love the smooth animations! This is a really good game, beating it was very challenging for a game this small. I smiled a few times too! Very good one!

leebo86 2012-08-27 21:50

Funny, and a great example of how subtle effects can spruce up simple graphics. Nice job.

gbellgames 2012-08-27 21:55

Very funny game! And the blocky graphics are full of charm! The "Plot" is very cool!

Shame it's so short.

midgard 2012-08-27 22:01

Great job :D It is a really fun game with a bit of humor that makes the game more fun!

amoaeba-junior 2012-08-27 23:38

First lesson was so funny and it made so much sense with the theme i love it, smartest game i've played since jam began!

zkenshin 2012-08-27 23:53

Very fun and really well done. :)

lemontree 2012-08-28 04:21

Excellent game! Thank you!

discofish 2012-08-28 05:00

I love it!

dvdking 2012-08-28 18:20

It was hilarious! This is definitely the best game I've seen here. Graphics, music, humor are perfect. Maybe game isn't innovative, but it's fun!

danlthemanl 2012-08-29 08:06

Very clever and original!

saintheiser 2012-08-29 13:49

Really good and fun game, man! I like it and very impressed with animation! Nice work!

cthulhu 2012-08-29 21:18

Haha Wonderfull!
I love the graphics of the background!

gidaio 2012-08-29 21:21

Nice! Very fun, very well done, very good puzzles.

djtjj 2012-08-29 21:23

Completed stuck on the blue one with the falling bricks. Otherwise awesome.

vamflax 2012-08-29 21:23

Brilliant! Funny, controls were ace, music fantastic.

The jumpy round was the perfect blend of INFURIATING! Completed it though.

Nice one...!! :D :D :D

tau7153 2012-08-29 21:24

Almost infallible, amazing with very nice graphics and innovative gameplay. I did however find it rather hard and unforgiving, especially once I got to the bit in the main screenshot.

keenblaze 2012-08-29 22:13

Thank you guys!

funbyjohn 2012-08-29 23:33

Haha, I love it. So funny. I love the little jingle that plays - and the ending song is awesome.

mach60kas 2012-08-30 01:19

Wow, that was really quite funny. Always great to see something so different in LD. :)

amidos2006 2012-08-30 08:47

Thats really incredible one of my best games on LudumDare :) I adore that the text and the idea are perfect :)

ragzouken 2012-08-30 14:06

Funny :D I found the boss annoying!

puzzlem00n 2012-08-30 18:17

I now know all I need to know about evolution!

seconddimension 2012-08-30 19:18

Wow seriously great entry here, think you just taught us all a lesson in using simple graphics to achieve nice visuals (well you certainly taught me a lesson). Funny & Interesting take on the theme too, well done

matheod 2012-08-30 20:20

Wahou ! Amazing game ! Take me long time to kill this so powerfull IA !

cappelnord 2012-08-30 21:19

Awesome!

rxi 2012-08-30 21:22

Both fun AND educational.

touze 2012-08-30 21:32

Nice game, loved the end.

johnfn 2012-08-30 21:36

Hahha, great entry. The animations felt so dynamic, and I really enjoyed the audio clip at the end. The first one was my favorite.

travischen 2012-08-31 01:02

Loved it, great work!

nimblegorilla 2012-08-31 19:08

Awesome game. I agree with all of the other positive comments. I really like the bouncy squares. My only negative is that the intro scene on the final level is kind of annoying to sit through after getting squished multiple times.

brotherst 2012-08-31 23:57

Very funny! We liked it a lot, the timing was spot on. I was watching my brother play it and I almost thought it was a scripted animation at first, because of the dialogue going everytime he did something.

imef 2012-09-01 00:28

Great game! It's fun and very well done!

spaceoff 2012-09-01 11:40

Didn't really dig the music but the idea was great, graphics were great, and it was funny for once too which is always good.

sanojian 2012-09-01 12:57

Really funny! Great music.

dector 2012-09-01 13:02

Really fun and beautifull game. It is'n about wide evolution, but I like this game very much. Hire score!

zatyka 2012-09-01 16:08

Very well done. It was short, but felt very polished. Great Job.

mesene 2012-09-01 21:33

Great game! I'll get the source and play a little with it :D

revelorenfield 2012-09-01 23:27

So cute game :)
The last battle was so frustrating too...

jorjon 2012-09-02 05:29

Wow.. Excellent! My favorite entry so far

keenblaze 2012-09-02 16:33

@Mesene Source code is terrible :)

josriley 2012-09-02 19:54

Really awesome. Very funny for a game about a species of squares.

kmad 2012-09-02 20:23

Excellent little game, very funny and original.

maple 2012-09-03 02:45

Oh my. Now this is interesting, lol. I thought above everything, the sound was really well placed.

flyingbear 2012-09-03 05:00

Clever little game! I enjoyed it =)

vaelzan 2012-09-03 11:40

Simple and effective graphics. I found the boss incredibly frustrating because I had to sit through the dialogue each time I failed. Other than that it was quite fun to play through, well done!

harusame 2012-09-03 14:18

Wow ! clever game :)
Funny ! Good job !

rabbits 2012-09-03 18:26

Yes, now I can get an A on my Biology test...Great game...

goerp 2012-09-03 19:20

Funny and very well done. The graphics look simple, but they are more than simple squares. Gameplay was good and the levels original. Only downside I could find: If you get stuck at the same point the music gets a bit annoying makes the pause until you can try again, too long.

tcstyle 2012-09-03 20:44

Funny take on the theme. The sound effects are great.

_am_ 2012-09-03 20:51

Nice, complete, modest yet polished design... I do see the theme at work, at least as far as the two most important things, survival and mating. I feel no suggestion could be made. Great work!

zccc 2012-09-03 21:25

Very funny :D

marudziik 2012-09-04 09:50

It's incredible how such simple graphics can be so appealing. I'm pretty sure it's a winner here - the game is perfect for LD: simple enough, short, funny (and the last level can be a little challenging). Music is great IMHO. The strongest part of this entry is definitely story and gameplay. Great job!

patrickgh3 2012-09-05 23:42

Awesome feel by the graphics and music. I love how each puzzle is unique. Everything is fresh. The quality makes up for the quantity.

zx81 2012-09-06 21:24

The game so funny!! good effort man!

m-gryko85 2012-09-07 07:24

Funny and fun game.

pinkmonkeyhead 2012-09-09 13:57

Awesome plot, graphics, audio and FUN above all! By far, this is the most innovative and funny game on this LD. And It's also my favorite :)

pinkmonkeyhead 2012-09-09 14:00

And the AI is very challenging! I died a LOT of times to that fat bully.

goffmog 2012-09-09 19:15

lol - that was fun :) Actually found the runing jumping bit much harder than the final battle... Don't like running jumping bits :( Not going to score you lower because of it though.

triliyn 2012-09-10 03:40

The first couple levels were really fun. I didn't really like the last... three, I think, because they broke the pattern of "You must die at least once in each level to succeed" (thereby losing you a theme point). Even so, I was interested enough to finish the game and disappointed that there was no more. Nice work!

gama11 2012-09-10 13:29

Wow, perfect game considering the amount of time it took you to make it! It has just the right difficulty, innovative level design and is funny as hell. A few more levels would be nice though.
Really like how movement changes the characters size, seems like he's pudding or something :D. Feels really juicy.
There's one major flaw here though: The restart animation / time until you can get another attempt. It's waaaay too long and should be close to zero, because it creates a lot of frustration. That's one of Super Meat Boy's "secrets" to avoid frustration.

Would be nice to have a few stats like time needed to play through and total death to go for highscores.

keenblaze 2012-09-11 07:56

Thank you for the constructive critic and suggestions!

sestren 2012-09-12 12:52

The "musical intro bit as comedic punchline to your failures" was hilarious. Great music and sense of humor. All around, a very enjoyable experience.

munchor 2012-09-12 13:08

Very, very great game, short and fun :)

dwallin 2012-09-14 02:32

Nice job! My one nitpick is some of the cutscenes got annoying with no way to skip em (or speed them up) if you kept dying (aka. the last level) I wish this game was longer!

csanyk 2012-09-15 06:32

Really great all around, and you totally nailed the theme. Great job:)

jefrsilva 2012-09-16 15:03

Hahaha, I must say this is a great educational game and very fun too!

chuchino 2012-09-16 20:27

Cute and funny. I liked the music and the sounds and the bouncy squares.

bemmu 2012-09-18 05:37

Don't recall that "jump on top of AI before they jump on top of you" thing being used since Joust. Part where all were competing for the apple was unique.
