I loved the concept of evolving based on how you defeated enemies!

screamrawr 2012-08-28 08:00

Thank you true! :D

Awesome game! Reminds me of kirby in a sense, but being able to have multiple powers is even better.

raroadkill 2012-08-28 21:24

well done. I enjoyed it. you should add boss battles!

Very cool game. I too liked how you gain the powers of enemies. I also found it interesting how towards the end you would see enemies that had all of the wierd evolutionary traits piled into one.

Good work.

Great work. I think the collision needs some work though. I got hurt a lot when I jumped on (non-spikey) enemies.

Very cool, would love to see you spend some time balancing the game more. Perhaps introduce new abilities/enemies more slowly along with puzzles that test the new abilities you evolve.

Good game. I really liked changing abilities to complete areas of the maps. Was there sound?

domnomnom 2012-08-29 05:17

The punching somehow just feels awesome! :D

theomnis 2012-08-29 05:50

Neat concept, cute graphics...Im down.

screamrawr 2012-08-29 19:17

Thank you everyone who has played the game! :D Unfortunetly, there wasn't any sound. We never got around to it.
And we're considering working on it post-LD. Just depends on what everything thinks.
So again, thank you to everyone who has played it!

Really liked this one - liked how you did the evolution - and it was a fun play through.

davisan 2012-08-29 20:49

I liked the evolution schema of evolution and the possibility of combinations. But the effect of some of them wasn't very clear, like the spikes and eyes. The art is great. I enjoyed it!

This was pretty fantastic, I love the generation breading system. It's quick to play and the controls were easy.

screamrawr 2012-08-29 21:38

@sampyxis: Thank you very much!
@davisan: Thanks! Perhaps I should post a list of what each of the traits do.
@darkstarmatryx: Thanks! We're glad you enjoyed it!

Very nice, reminds me of evo

zakchaos 2012-08-31 06:23

definately one of the best games I've seen so far! your concept was excellently implemented, and very well thought out, really enjoyed your game!

tdsmale 2012-08-31 22:00

Great gameplay!

bereuge 2012-08-31 22:08

That was great! The whole evolution plus mating concept is really good!
The collision needs some work but it's a great game :)

brotherst 2012-08-31 22:11

Nice game, and an interesting idea. I wouldn't say the combat was Brawl-like but it was good nonetheless.

bobiniki 2012-09-01 16:54

I like the idea and everything, but you could make jumping better and easier because sometimes you jump just next to an enemy and take damage. Anyway the game is wonderful and I like the end screen where it shows every generation.

zatyka 2012-09-01 17:04

Very nice. The collision detection was a little off... but other than that I thought it was great. Well done incorporating the theme.

gnx 2012-09-01 19:51

Really liked the multiple traits available. Game also looks very good and solid.

Collisions in gameplay sometimes feel a bit off and there should be a bit longer period of invincibility after hitting an enemy. Now you often hit many enemies in a row and the screen is just blinking and you're being thrown around.

Good job otherwise.

thewiseguy99 2012-09-07 01:57

This is a really good game. Nice play, the graphics are cool! You really have something here to build on. Great job!

cataclysmicknight 2012-09-09 04:17

Quite fun, and it was a blast messing with their abilities!

screamrawr 2012-09-12 00:20

Thank you everyone who has played our game! It means so much to us!
