Le jeu est excellent. Un bon concept plein de potentiel, mais qui exigerait du contenu en grande variété et quantité pour atteindre le top du top, ce qui n'est pas évident dans le contexte des 48h du LD...

I may don't understand the all GP, but i can't finish the 1st lvl because humans always have the fire.
Il n'y a pas un soucis? Je mets les pieges dans l'ordre que je veux mais quand les humains avancent sur les croix, il ne se passe rien du tout. Ils arrivent toujours tous au bout.
ok, pigé, il faut les glisser sur l'ecran. Je pensais qu'ils fallait juste les mettre dans l'ordre en bas
Wow, my favorite entry so far. Great concept, and the levels are perfect. Awesome game.
Very hard game but really awesome! :)
Super sweet, but way hard. What the hey!
You're right it's too hard :-/ I definitively should have start with a 3 points problem instead of 4.
I hope that someone will still make it to the end...
Complex ! i like.
Damn, i'm stuck. The last one guy hold the door, so nobody get the food. but the game doesn't know that i beat the level.

Ah yeah, screenshot issue. Now, it's better : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/48036137/Bug01.png
Finished it, love it : moore levels please !
Excellent entry in all respects!
Too bad I can't finish it... :(

The one standing for the door never die and the only one to pass don't continue on his way (eat the fruit and die : game finish...) (Trap-mammouth-Ice for the reproduction.)
very sosphisticated gameplay, i liked it and i'll try to finish it :3
I LOVE IT! By far the best entry i've played so far.
Instant bookmark. I'm pretty sure i will come back to the game multiple time this year during my lunch breaks :)
I completed the first level as soon as I understood the concept (and that you have to drag and drop the traps), I feel like the difficulty is just fine. Maybe a step by step tutorial would be better than a wall of text to explain the game?
Bonus point for the mudic, which fits the game really nicely
Without challenge, there is no fun. Playing such a game without difficulty is, imho, a waste of time. Hence the difficulty is just right.
Is there truly a part of random in the AI choices ?
I'm looking forward to see some extensions.
No random in AI choices. AI just try to find a working solution. If there's one, it'll find it and play it.
Brillant-brainfuck gameplay! I can't imagine how it was brainfuck to make :)
GFX are very nice!
I beat it! Very good design. The fun animations and interactions compliment the puzzle design very well. The sound was good and even though I had to replay the levels many times it didn't feel very tedious.
Nice one! The graphics and animations are really cute. I'm stuck on level 2 though, I'll have to try again later...
Nice game but too hard.
Graphics are nice and it's a good puzzle game.
There's juste an horrible bug with the lvl 4 :/

This config can kill everyone but I do not win :(
Impressive work on the animations and general polish, and the gameplay is really interesting.
It would have been perfect if it had more easy levels to introduce the "items" one by one, to avoid making the player read loads of text to even get started. With some work on this aspect, Extinct would really look like a complete, really enjoyable game.
Very cool puzzle game, the graphic and the audio are great, excellent work. BTW, I found that when the people enter the gate with only 2 people, and 1 of them is the leader, the game just stocked.
Really liked this one - polished, funny and challenging!
Awesome game!
so fun! I love the pathing and obstacles. great sounds and sprites
Really nice concept and excellent! though it's hard it makes players think about the choices. Pixel Art is super nice.
Really enjoyed the game, one of the favourite ones I've played so far.
Found a bug on level 4 (I think). I had pit first, t-rex left path, mammoth right path, then winter, then temple, then apple. The men went the right path, through winter and had two men left then the masked man held open the temple gate for the other man and the game just remained with him holding open the gate and not dying or going through. Other than that, top marks.
One of the best entries! Very good idea, very good work on the AI, but veeery hard as well. Couldn't complete because the game got stuck in an animation while some people passed the door. The game did not freeze, but nothing happened anymore, except of music playing the the guy doing the lift-the-gate-animation. Really well polished though!
Thank you everyone for comments and bug report. I was unsure about my right to correct the gate bug. I finally decided to do it since it can be seen as a "crash". I hope everything is fine with this :-/
Outstanding
Difficult, but that's what made it feel more of an accomplishment to beat. :) I really enjoyed this one; the graphics and sound were amazing, and it was just overall fun.
Lovely game, sophisticated gameplay. The level design was a little weak. I found the first level really hard (basically just ended up testing each possibility, even with the hint). Second level I finished first time, then stuck on the 3rd.
I didn't quite understand how to predict where they would go, e.g. when they would turn back, sometimes they would sacrifice fire, sometimes they wouldn't. I think it would be more enjoyable if it was totally predictable. (if you know what to look for)
Still, I really enjoyed it. Very good game.
Ooh, this is a fresh take on defense games. Loving the puzzle aspect of it which forces you to think like a programmer. The prehistoric motif is memorable and well presented.
Great game, but not quite flawless. The difficulty curve could be more refined - it feels like the second level was easier than the first, for example. And the AI has obvious bugs, most clearly in level 3. Sometimes in crossroads, they manage to clear one path but then take the other one anyway. It seems their behaviour isn't perfectly predictable either (they do different decisions with the mammoth even in identical setups), and I'm not sure if that's a good thing considering the planning this game requires.
I wrote a lot about the flaws, but that's just because I think this game has potential and I want to give you ideas for a post-compo version. Even now, it's a 4-star game that stands out from most other entries.
Very very good game! ^^ The graphics are amazing, the music is good and the whole feel of the game is wonderful.
The gameplay is very very cool, I loved thinking about possible ways to make the tribe get rid of certain assets or guys. Playing through the game was a very satisfying experience :)
The only thing I didn't understand is one what basis the tribe would choose a certain path, which made the game quite a bit more difficult. But not in a bad way :3
This totally deserves more levels. Very clever puzzles.
Sometimes the human come back to fall on traps that aren't even on their way, this is a bit weird, but aside from that, this is an excellent game!
@daredevildave @ MaximShoemaker Infact the game is predictable as long as you are making a puzzle with only one way to the meat. If you dont I will play the first winning solution I find. If you success I will play one of the tribes failure and it's pretty difficult to choose one ( I wrote on this here : http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2012/12/19/216557/ )
@Jiggawatt In identical setups, they should be totally predictable, no random in solver. If your experience is different, I'm interested in knowing the level & sequence.
Solid entry!
Very innovative puzzle game, I loved everything from music, graphics and difficulty puzzles. Good job!
Really cool idea, but I couldn't beat level 4 no matter what I did. It seemed to be that if I changed something further down in the course, the humans would act differently earlier in the course, making it impossible to win.
Great game, good art, nice music and perfect mood. Only thing I didn't really like was the chance factor. But then again, that made it actually pretty fun to play. Great work!
@rvmook @nate27 There's no chance factor. A perfect solution always win and an unperfect solution always loose.
But too many people think the opposite, I really have to work on my game explanation.
Really great game. The atmosphere was well set up for both graphics and audio. The only issue I had was that the puzzle's weren't so intuitive. Sometimes it felt like I was just guessing as to what I had to do, but in later levels I think I got a hang of it.
Brilliant game! Fantastic puzzles and excellent pixel art.
Best game I played so far! Really good idea, really nice graphics and a subtle, atmospheric background music. Outstanding.
awesome game! it's rlly well done, graphics and music are very nice and the idea is outrageous. Please make more levels with more deadly traps!
Great entry! We need more levels!
Great game!
Really good, i was so sad when I reached the "end", add more levels ! Enhance it ! I'll buy it !
Interesting use of the theme and very well executed!
Great job!
realy awesome level puzzles. It take me a longer while to finish whole game. Very good game
love the cannon fodder style to the graphics, nice!
Good job with the results! You deserved to be in the top 10.
This will solve level 3, but it seems like it shouldn't. The last human throws fire at the tiger, then goes to winter to die, rather than just continuing past the tiger to the meat. http://imgur.com/SK7z8
Awesome game!I can't believe that I finish it!Can you do a more complete version?(Sorry for my not excellent english,I'm French)
Lvl 4 is broken i complete it then it just freezes forever then i refresh and lose my progress.
can somebody please tell me how to play this game
PLEASE
is there a play button somewhere or
Very good the graphic and sound. It's short but very "Coinvolgente (italian)". I really like this good luck with your next games and sorry for the poor english
Sad to say I found a bug on the last level. With the pit first, mammoth on the left, temple on the right, the apple at the crossroads, and the t-rex and the winter on the far end, the tribe went for the mammoth, the apple, then the temple, then went for the end and got killed.
Ditto on the third level, with the volcano on the upper left, the temple on the path, the statue after it, the tiger on the upper path and winter on the lower path. The survivor went for the tiger and then for the winter.
