It ran on Windows 7 for me. The background illumination was neat. After I ate a green dude, I never saw another one, which, I suppose, is natural selection at work.

Slick graphics, very 'designery' and polished! Love the statistics and the mating sounds.

Very fun, great gamaplay and graphics

As others said, polished game, clean controls and style.

Good incorporation of the theme, an enjoyable experience, an intelligent design that forces the player to think about how they should interact with the ai to progress.

Nice Mix of gameplay and graphical. All in All a very nice Game.

The mechanics and simulation were great, but it needs some sort of goal to keep you playing.

karel 2012-08-27 16:35

I really like this one a lot. Probably the best one I've tried so far. Nice work!

Lucariatias 2012-08-27 16:36

Brilliant! Lovely art style, very nice sound effects and music. Felt really smooth to control and great fun to play. It's a little like Spore, but still very innovative in itself. For 48 hours, this is amazing!

warrozo 2012-08-28 12:29

Loved it :)

Jeremias 2012-08-28 12:32

Great, smooth atmosphere created with your visual style, the background music and the soundeffects.

Was fun to play, but I wished it had more variations in the attributes which can be changed, like specific "spells".

Nic job at all :)

ragzouken 2012-08-28 13:23

Quite entertaining, and a good idea for the theme :)

samoojamies 2012-08-28 14:34

Wow, nice mood.

krides 2012-08-28 16:37

Amazing graphic and sound design, almost realistic evolution simulation. Very well done :-)

vigrid 2012-08-28 21:12

Wonderful music. Feels like a very complete game, even though the gameplay could be easily made more complex and engaging. Graphics does its job. Convert it to a phone game! Great take on the theme, too.

fhoenig 2012-08-29 05:07

My favorite part are the hearts. Really cute. Up rating on mood too for sure.

dustystylus 2012-08-29 09:34

Very nice production. I like the art style in this and the sounds are nice and ambient. Perhaps needs more of a goal as already mentioned. Great entry though, well done.

cominu 2012-08-29 11:16

I love it!:D

benjamin-soule 2012-08-29 11:20

Nice work on audio it really give the game a personnal touch. The pink glowing + heart fx is a cool FX for flirting.

hansolo 2012-08-29 11:43

I couldn't play it on my PC, window is opening but only with a white screen.
Whatching the video was fun, wish I could play it..

cappelnord 2012-08-29 11:59

@hansolo I wish I could help you but I don't have a Windows machine at hand and without an error message it's kind of impossible to find a solution :-( You could install Love2D and try the Linux/Love2D Version if this works.

wan 2012-08-29 14:14

Clever one! There are big Spore influences here but the gameplay remains original, and mood of the game quite unique thanks to the nice sound landscape and good graphics.

Ths main downside is that the evolution feature seems to lack some balance, since I always end like... short, and heavy... it's hard to find someone worth mating with ;) On the opposite I found the combat aspect of the game pretty fun.

Overall it remains a solid entry, congrats.

michax 2012-08-29 18:26

Smooth gameplay and nice graphics! And most important fun to play.

tau7153 2012-08-30 12:07

Really interesting, nice graphics and smooth, polished gameplay!

vilya 2012-08-30 21:22

I think the balance was a bit off - energy seemed to run down too quickly while just moving about, so chasing after the green guys for food was a bit pointless. I think you also have to repeat the same action (flirt, bump, etc) too many times to get a result. Adjust that & I think you'd have a pretty compelling game, because the basic mechanics are pretty sound.

infernet89 2012-08-31 21:03

Very nice, this kind of evolution by flirting is a clever idea!

timtipgames 2012-09-01 15:35

I don't know what it is, but I just made love with it! I really love the concept. The shaders are really nice and I like how the mechanics work. I wish it was easier to see if a mating would be beneficial, because sometimes I fell in love with a worm that looked good, but it turned out it was a really bad influence for me (but isn't that how it goes ;)). Overall: A really nice entry.

monsieur_nez 2012-09-03 23:51

Good idea, remind me the beginning of spore

ggiraldez 2012-09-04 19:36

(I come from your comment in my game) This is great! Love the graphics, sounds and background music. The flirting/mating idea is very interesting. I didn't like the controls much, but my opinion is obviously biased ;)

adventureislands 2012-09-04 20:59

Whoa, this was really cool. Nice concept and very well done. There could perhaps have been some objective other than just mate and grow, but nice job anyway.

csanyk 2012-09-17 00:54

One of the best that I've played out of this LD. Really well done.
