LD24 — Evolution

Evolving Enemy by J00nzu 2012-08-27T16:04:00

that was cool! i had fun with the physics of the missiles and the boxes. I agree with Rellikiox though, it was hard to maneuver and needed some sort of objective! nice job though!

NOAHS ARK 2 by racarate 2012-08-27T05:22:00

doesn't even open on osx ):

Keepers of The Harmony by chunkyguy 2012-08-27T05:36:00

crashed on launch for me too.

Keepers of The Harmony by chunkyguy 2012-08-31T15:00:00

Seems to be working for me now! I'm on mountain lion, the first time it opened it said I needed X11, and so I clicked a button and installed it, and now it runs!

Cool idea for a game! The thing that I don't really like is the interaction that I (the player) have with the game world is so limited with only one action, it would be cool to have more ways to affect(effect?) the population of the different organisms. Well Done though! glad i could get it running

The Singularity is Here! by josefnpat 2012-08-27T05:48:00

why is the osx build so much bigger and slower?

Detective Darwin by jarnik 2012-08-27T06:26:00

It was funny how you had to punch the blob person so that they could complete the sentence "thank you, you've brought the *punch* happiness back into our lives!"

!wrms by nixeldev 2012-08-27T20:46:00

thats fun! would have been cool to have a single player mode, but i'm sure AI for that would have been tricky to code! well done!

Life by Foxtacy 2012-08-27T00:07:00

I liked the music you have in the game!

Slime Groove by cacciatc 2012-08-27T16:35:00

That was fun! it took me 3 tries to open it in chrome for some reason, chrome kept wanting me to "kill pages" with it. I like the graphics! nice job!

evolving by pjchardt 2012-08-27T15:57:00

really cool concept there! it could be really awesome with just a bit more control tweaking, i feel like. but I like the direction this is heading! well done!

And Then There Was Pong by Zabot 2012-08-28T03:20:00

it sure fit the theme well. as fun as each of the games that were in there are on their own, I think for your second LD you should make an attempt to create something original and exciting. but still, well done, mate!

Pirates and Gorillas by Brucef 2012-08-27T06:32:00

@ pjchardt Currently, the tail does not grow longer at all. That was something that I would have liked to added, but It was hard to impliment in the amount of time left and with the way I had my code set up. Maybe I'll ad that in the future. and for the difficulty thing, balancing games is not a strong suite of mine. Next time i'll get more people to playtest and give me feedback before submission.

Thanks everyone for the feedback!

Pirates and Gorillas by Brucef 2012-08-27T20:48:00

I'm liking all this feedback! Despite all the many things I did wrong, I'm proud of this first LD entry, and I will now be able to make something even better for future LD's

Pirates and Gorillas by Brucef 2012-08-27T22:49:00

yea they cap off at like 200 or so, your supposed to be killing (or evolving, rather) them before there become that many, but oh well, haha

Path to a New Species by vvinters 2012-08-27T15:08:00

I'm not sure how to play, i couldn't open it (osx)

Unstealthiest Ninja by brother.byto 2012-08-27T15:12:00

It took me a minute to figure out what was happening, but then i got it! the first level was good, but then on the second i could'nt do it at all, it was super hard!

Actinium the Wrought by Thomas Ingham 2012-08-27T15:19:00

Cool game! Is there more to it than just running around and punching people? i really enjoyed the first time i got a club, that was fun! the models look good. one thing i didn't like though was the controls. really akward to try to direct the character, and hard to turn the right way in fights and stuff. but overall, i liked it!

Death Hockey by Toby 2012-08-27T15:21:00

Oh shoot, cant play on snow leapord OS. yet annother reason to get lion. oh well):

Survival of the Fittest by codesavage 2012-08-27T23:55:00

Seemed like a good start! I really didn't find any gameplay. I basically walked right, missed a jump and fell to the floor, walked right some more and it said i finished! seems like this has potential to be the start of something great though! well done!

T.R.E.E. by Fritzendugan 2012-08-27T15:52:00

That was fun to play! I liked how the points and talent tree/nodes worked!

Darwinphony by philosophistry 2012-08-27T06:29:00

Super confusing at first, but I really liked playing around with this! well done

Adventurers Evolution by Thurig 2012-08-26T23:49:00

Cool game concept with the whole generation thing! I was never able to clear an entire floor though): cool game!

Sandevo - The Evolutionary Sandbox by leparlon 2012-08-27T05:27:00

on osx could not get it to work using the application but for anyone else with this problem just pop open terminal, navigate to the directory that the sandevo_mac.jar is in and do "java -jar sandevo_mac.jar" and that opens it up!

But yea, Looks like a cool concept, too bad you didn't have enough time to complete it!

Blocks eating blocks and evolving into more blocks by Peltast 2012-08-27T05:34:00

I like the concept here with being able to play multiple generations. One thing though is it seemed to me like the player would run out of energy and die before it could get to a food square thing almost everytime, and that was a little frustrating

EvoBit by Vennril 2012-08-27T00:13:00

Super fun! I just wish there were more levels! I was surprised (in a good way!) the first time the graphics evolved!

Kitty Breeder 2012 by turnip 2012-08-27T20:52:00

the title screen makes me dizzy!!! fun game though! I like the concept here! nice job

Octogeddon by flyingbear 2012-08-31T16:55:00

This game looks and sounds fun, just wish there was an osx version for me to play):

The Spaceworm by Clocwise 2012-08-27T01:08:00

Fun game! i like it! the graphics are nice and the gameplay is fun! It turned into sort of just mashing on the mouse, but I liked it. well done!

PEB 2012 by madpew 2012-08-27T16:01:00

That was pretty hard! fun though. well done!

Darwin Skirmish by panzermancer 2012-08-27T15:58:00

I want a mac version): look like it could be fun though!

Sprout by cadin 2012-08-27T00:39:00

I liked it! really interesting to play! one thing that might have been cool is when you lost the camera could zoom out so that you could see the whole plant or something. That might be interesting to look at! well done

The Plurality by N427 2012-08-27T01:04:00

): no mac version. looks cool but I won't be able to play it. Slick2d is cross-platform, isn't it? why is this windows only?

Species by mappum 2012-08-27T06:38:00

This actually did frighten me a little bit (in a good way)! I liked it. One thing that was annoying, game mechanic wise, was that I sometimes had trouble going up/down ladders. maybe that was just me though. well done, mate

LD27 — 10 Seconds

I get an error trying to run it. I'm on a max with osx 1.8.4.
