Ambitious, but somewhat baffling. Lovely fallout-esqe intro, but wasn't sure what I was programming tank to do and only having half a second on level 1 didn't give any room for manouvre (literally). Original though, and the kernel of a potentially good game
Impressive! If I could do that in 48 hours, I'd be a millionaire. Well, a few appstore games better off anyway.
Can be frustrating, but it's a platform game so that's kind of a given. On-screen count of how many creatures you've eaten would help a lot. Well polished.
Looks nice, but no game?
Visually brilliant and consistent, original tower-defence variant.
Drawbacks: Slight bugs (I managed to have negative money), rather easy, and limited interaction. Would have been nice to order multiple occurances of each pasta in one go.
Er, fighting the zombies isn't much fun? I was expecting something a bit more Robotron-y, where they'd come and get me.
Evolving music is a great step.
Somewhat baffled, I'm afraid. Looks nice though.
Yes, spent too much time on the evolving and not enough on the game! There are supposed to be many more things you can evolve between rounds, including some bigger surprises like suddenly letting you scroll on a large playfield, or adding a score. Might well do some post-compo work as I've done the hard bit now (and I can get someone in who can draw)
Once the odd controls were understood I rather enjoyed it. Upgrades come too slowly (and fire rate is too slow), but nice Robotron/Infinity Blade cross idea. Bit cheeky with the kittens! Getting an upgrade tree in there was a bit of a coup.
Pleasant, Metroid-esque exploration platformer.
Somewhat frustrating until realising that 'jump' was a pickup.
Seriously needs some checkpointing, as death sends you all the way back to the start.
Could see myself enjoying this a lot with a few minor tweaks.
