LD24 — Evolution

Deep Sea Evolution by atla 2012-08-27T08:00:00

Just some hints on the Gameplay:

You start with a microbe level 1 and need to connect with other creatures/microbes that have the same level as you. If you have at least 5 connected microbes you can evolve to a higher level. Evolve using the button or press space.

Evolving can trigger mutations. If you have more microbes than 5 connected when evolving you have a higher chance to get mutations. Mutations can be either color change, speed change, max feed amount or microbe type change.

If you reach at least level 2 you can start feeding of smaller microbes to lower your starve rate. But be aware of microbes that are bigger than you. If they are only sightly bigger they will eat microbes away from your collected ones. If they are much higher they will instantly feed off you and you die.

If you reach level 20 you win the game.

Thx for nice comments, yep those where some pretty nifty 48 hours :) (but actually i also had time to BBQ with friends on saturday!)

Yep, the loading time will be the main focus of my followup cleanings (pre LD48). In the end i did really struggle with testing as it took so long all time.
And i also want to try to fix some gameplay issues and add some ideas that i didnt have time for.

Yes sorry, the Windows version is x64 :( going to provide more builds tonight when i get home from work!

Oh i see - well its hosted on my Dropbox, that's why it's https. Chrome has a shield showing up in the bar to disable it temporarily so you can load it anyway. But thanks for the hint.

As for the crash it might be related to x86? I'll upload some more builds tonight so ppl can have a look at it.

I'll upload a new Windows build for x64 and x86 tonight as well as an Android version probably :)

Quite cool! Very simple gameplay but has a very nice graphics touch :)

Well looks like a nice game. But as far as i can remember i've seen screenshots of THIS game the day before the contest started?

Evolution VS 1000 kittens by Citiral 2012-08-27T15:18:00

No i saw someone posting a screenshot of a dinosaur and a kitten. And it had the exact same colors and graphics. And i'm pretty sure it was the evening (german time) before the competition started and the final theme was announced. That's why i wondered.
