I'm an iOS developer, so I was able to run this. An interesting start, but the gameplay is very lacking at this point. I was pretty much ignoring the red lights and then just tap-and-holding each light one after the other in order to win. There was no strategy and no level of difficulty, I made it to a high level and stopped from boredom. I think it's an interesting idea to start with, but it needs more substance.
There is a permission error when trying to run on Mac OS X. I tried chmoding everything but that didn't help.

Well, you did a good job setting up atmosphere. I was ready for something to kill me in the house, that's for sure. But then I couldn't go anywhere. I just couldn't find where I was supposed to put my mouse in order to make the up arrow appear, and I became trapped after hardly starting. I suggest removing the hover mouse and just leaving the buttons there at all times.
Can someone tell me why Python devs are so against making executables? I am not a python dev, so I don't know what I need to get this to run. No instructions of any kind... You've got the least ratings of any of 699 games right now, and this is why.
A pretty good remake (I can't recall the name of the original game that did this mechanic), but I didn't feel like it added enough beyond that. I also didn't really have much desire to keep playing through the levels, I'm not sure why. You did an excellent job getting a bunch of levels in here and the overall design is great. Just didn't quite do it for me, though.
I thought it was pretty fun, but honestly I found the controls really difficult, and I'm not sure why. He just wouldn't walk exactly where I wanted him to, so I felt the difficulty was entirely within getting him to do what I want and not within fast-twitchyness like it should have been. Seriously, though, great job overall. I just didn't understand the choice of control scheme.
I thought it was pretty fun, but I couldn't really understand where the strategy was. I simply ran people from one city to another and that was it. There's a lot here, but it needs a bit more to it.
There is a lot to like here, but the main issue is the lack of feedback. My harvesters stopped harvesting and just clogged up my base once my base was "full," so I decided to build an expensive unit and it appeared to never get built. I was never sure the maximum amount of cost I could spend, how much I had, etc. So, I never made it past the turrets. The times I tried, I just got slaughtered. Sad, this seems like it would be very fun.
Woah! This game is all shortlylike. But it's pretty cool, nonetheless. I never quite understood exactly what was happening and it just kinda... ended, but it's still pretty cool and a good start.
Well done, this was much fun. I actually checked this out because you had the exact same idea I did when I heard the word "escape." My game plays completely differently, but I also have a guy with a hat running from a giant boulder and avoiding traps in a temple. Cool! Anyway, this overall is just great. Playable, good balance, good feel. Well done.
So, I unfortunately couldn't really beat any of the levels, because I kept disappearing off the map. I think it's a really cool start and could be great, but as of now just isn't complete.
Thank you for the comments so far, everyone. I am currently doing a post-compo pass that includes a "real" difficulty curve, multiple levels, and one more power (drawing bridges over lava and gaps). I'll likely have a first pass ready to go by the end of the week.
Pretty good fun. A nice remake of a classic sort of puzzle. I got to level 13 before I stopped playing. Would be nice to see some innovation here.
Eeeehhhhh.... The idea made me chuckle but the gameplay is really dull. You are just mash clicking, there is no strategy or anything, this is 100% luck. Also, you broke the rules by using photos of this guy, although I don't know if that is against the rules in the jam. Honestly I'd say to scrap this and make something more original and interesting.
I agree with the other comments: very pretty, seems like a good concept, but is pretty much impossible because the controls don't make any sense. I couldn't beat the first level.
Very pretty graphics, slick presentation, broken gameplay. :-( As many have said the controls are awkward, and on top of that my gun wouldn't shoot. Mac OS X in Safari. Also avoid using the Ctrl Key + Arrow keys on Mac, as it causes an OS-level feature that makes gameplay difficult.
Well hello callidus. This is a nice little game you got here. I feel like there either is not much in it or I just don't understand. I couldn't find a gameplay explanation anywhere. I sort of just waked around, apparently was killing by a slime, tried to open things that look like chests or coffins but couldn't, and then I apparently reached the exit. Seems like you've got the start of something here, but it's not complete. I'd love to see where it goes though, you've got a good atmosphere and engine.
Any chance for an OSX / Unix version?
Very cool idea, but my FPS was so crap I had trouble playing. Also I'm not sure if the lighting was correct or not, but mostly I could only see black. And for some reason the particle effects of the other players' bodies was just eating my processor (whenever I looked at it). But all that being said this is a very cool concept.
Aziz is dead. :-O
Fun times, Ariel. I think you did a great job given your limited time.
This was pretty good, but I felt the unique control scheme actually got in the way. It was basically Sokoban with a weird sort of gravity movement that often caused me to overshoot hallways and the like and kept me from doing what I actually wanted to. I found myself wishing the controls were just normal.
Cool but hard to tell what was going on. Eventually the coolant was too high or something and I wasn't able to change the pressure. Poo doggy. The voice was incredibly annoying, and although I was able to turn it off it was then impossible to play. Subtitles instead?
You got so much done in 48 hours, it was very impressive. However, I couldn't remember all the different things I could do because there were so many instructions, so I found myself mostly just throwing rocks. Still, good overall.
Any chance of getting this on Mac OS X / Unix?
Well, it's good, but not amazing. I got bored with it after a few minutes because I felt like it wasn't clear what I should be doing. I continued running around and killing things etc. but wasn't really getting anywhere and had no idea where the wizard chap was. So I just eventually quit out of boredom. Lots to like here, though.
Great overall, but desperately needs a minimap. I couldn't complete the game because eventually I just wasn't sure where I was. Also the body swapping was very cool but I never saw any payoff from doing it, nor did talking to various characters as other characters do anything, etc. So all that aside and it was a confusing maze that seemed like it was almost awesome.
Any chance of getting this on Mac OS X / Unix?
Unfortunately on Mac OS X I see only a white screen. No errors in the console.
I mostly felt like I was on rails in a very strange half-drawn story I didn't understand. It seemed like half the time I would choose a conversation option and then the game would simply continue however it wanted to, unrelated to my choice. The stat system similarly made no sense to me - I was just choosing stuff to watch how the movie would progress. Also, how does this match the theme? Is it a dating game or something?
Well, I got a few screens in but wasn't sure how to get past the pit. I got a flashlight and crate of apples. Having a restart is really really important for a game like this when you get suddenly killed by random stuff. And, no offense, but the game is UGLY. Why is it blurred some of the way and pixel-y other parts? Can't make up its mind.
Uh, so... it's a maze generator, that isn't even that good. The meta game on the outside didn't progressed before I got bored with solving endless mazes (I had done 6) so I didn't get to see what would happen there, if anything. I feel like I must be missing something.

Sorry, link fixed. I never uploaded the game lawl.
dr_soda, can I ask what level you were in, and system
specs? And were you playing the Applet? I haven't heard of performance problems from anyone else. Thanks!
Interesting. Mac was the only thing screwed up AFAIK. Hm... perhaps you can try downloading the JAR (second link, the one for Mac) and running that directly? Should help. Thanks, dr_soda!
Hm, I'll look into that. They shouldn't be from 2008. The cow sound is an edited sound from the net, which I figured was fine. I can record a mooing sound with my mouth if desired. :-P
I was excited at first because I thought you did a great job of having a lack of tutorial. But then I flew around space for 2 minutes, finally found a UfO that does nothing, and then quit. Basically just a pretty scavenger hunt. Why not put in kittens?
Why are Python developers so against creating binaries? I do not have pygame installed.
There was nobody else logged in, so no one to play with. But... it seemed boring anyway. A great start, for sure, but there's nothing to do at this point.
Any chance of getting this on Mac OS X / Unix?
Tried getting this to run on Mac OS X, got "cannot execute binary file", not sure if that's expected.
Seems like you could have made different choices for the same amount of time and effort to make this much better. For example, instead of having colored squares, make them look like something so it's clear what's the thing and what's the direction. Got bored after 15 consecutive and it still wasn't speeding up really.
So close! I have Snow Leopard. Can you upload a version for older OSes?
Decent, but could have been a lot better. I found the controls annoying (only being able to move in a single direction) and I forgot that you needed to press X to pick up items rather than just walking into them - so everything just seemed like background to me. The biggest problem, though, is that I never got hit after 6 minutes of play, even with only the worst gun. Needs more difficulty for sure.
Pretty good, but there were two huge problems that stopped me from enjoying what appears to be a great game. The first was the massive novel that I was forced to read at one sentence per hour (okay that's an exaggeration :-P) upon opening. I've got 700 games to play, man! Let me actually play your game? Show that text while I can move around if you really need it. The second was lag. The game went incredibly slowly, the guy twitching along painfully with each movement. I have quite a fast computer, but perhaps it was an incompatibility? Mac OS X Safari.
The biggest issue as others have observed is the difficulty. If the game had checkpoints or lives or something similar, it would be great. As it stands, I quickly got tired of repeating the same bit of level over and over.
148mb?!?! Is that really necessary? At least your host is fast... When it was finally done, though, it was quite fun. The puzzles were overall pretty good and the mechanic was fairly unique. The style was great. I got bored after a little while but I generally don't like these types of games, so it's not just you.
Pretty good, but got old relatively quickly. I agree there was little point to fighting anything, especially because there seemed to be issues with enemies getting hit a lot of the time.

Pretty wonderful concept, that's really what made the game. The gameplay is pretty simple and relatively enjoyable, but the whole premise of what I was doing definitely did it. :-)
Quite good looking and good tech involved, but the gameplay was pretty frustrating to me. There were way too many coins and also way too many sharks. I would often be eaten without knowing where the shark was, and I wasn't sure what to about it when I saw one.

I pretty much feel what everyone else does - too big and too little happening. I got bored rather quickly. Also I wasn't sure really what I was doing, other than walking around and looking at junk.
Any chance for an OSX / Unix version?
Pretty cool, but got old fast. Also, the sounds did not work for me.
Mac port please?
There's like a red thing, it moves for 3 seconds, and then I lose? Restarted 4 times thinking maybe I couldn't figure it out... But it's broken.
I got 97. All the yellow asteroids were on the other side. :'-( I think you did an excellent job keeping things simple. My biggest issue is that the large size of the planet quickly felt redundant - after like 20 points I had maybe 1/10 of the planet under my control and that was just fine. A super high score also feels rather luck oriented because the yellow asteroids become so important, and they seem random.
Any chance of trying to build a Mac version?
Wowee. So much epicness in there, but I got so overwhelmed not knowing what was going on that I only experienced a bit of it. Would love to see a post-compo version. FYI this works just fine on Mac.
Looks pretty cool - can we have a Mac version?
Waiting on the OSX version...
Why make it in Java if you only have a Windows version? Release a JAR or a Mac version please. :-) Or an applet.
Nice and simple, works very well. Good job.
Hey fella - how about an OS X version? And I agree a browser-based option is great too.
I thought this was a cool take on Osmos but was very difficult. Once I got touched by the too-fast moving large squares that would immediately be it for me. Feels random.
Hey, can you please make a Mac version?
Pretty freaking hilarious. The gameplay was so-so but you have a good chance at winning gold for humor. :-)
I really like the look, but can't play because I'm on Mac. Care to port it?
You need to include an .sh file for Mac and Linux, not a .bat file. The content of the file can be the same, but you need to chmod +x it. Anyway, the game worked fine on OSX when I started it from the command line myself. I thought the gameplay was decent but not amazing. The main issue was that it was very unclear when my attacks would hit or miss, and eventually I just kept killing things with no challenge until my attack randomly didn't hit and I died.
I thought this was pretty fun. It was a tried and true concept with just enough new stuff that I didn't feel lost but I was still intrigued. My main issue with it is that it's far too difficult to acquire moons (I was never sure why or why not they were adding to my orbit) and the game is impossibly difficult without them.
Any hope of a Mac port?
Hey buddeh, how about some Mac OS X?
Mac please!
Mac port please?
Mac plzthx!
Any chance for a Mac port working on Mono or something?
Mac users: you can open this with: http://www.logicalshift.co.uk/mac/Zoom-1.1.5.dmg You really really need instructions. All I accomplished was "go down" a few times. Every other command I tried failed. And needing to Google to figure out how to play your game is awful.
Mac version please?
Alas, I cannot run this on Mac.
This looks cool! Can you make a Mac binary too please?
Mac executable please!
Can you compile for Mac please?
Mac please!
Hey, can you make a Mac version please? Thanks.
Doesn't seem like there is anything to this. I just walked around and jumped in a car... and then the controls were backwards.
I would love a Mac port, if you would.
Seems like there's a whole lot to this but it doesn't live up to all its potential I don't think. It got fairly repetitive and not being able to really explore (being at the whim of the rotation) made finding out I should have shot a missile to go into a certain teleporter pretty frustrating.
Will it be possible to run this on Mac through Mono?
Can you get a Mac version going through Mono?
Pretty good start, but there doesn't seem to be much to do. I put a battery into a compartment and walked around with a little gun, time traveled for no apparent reason, and then that appeared to be the limit to what I could do. I also discovered some strange bug where I took the battery out again in the future and couldn't replace it, then tried setting it on a shelf and it disappeared.
A good start! Welcome to LD. What everyone already said is totally right: could use a lot more than it has. But overall works decently.
Alas, I have no Android device to test this on.
Please consider releasing this for Mac via mono or something, or I won't be able to play it.
Cool be cool, but isn't quite there, unfortunately.
Mac please?
Surefire excellent. The boot thing seems pointless though and isn't clear. Also once you figure out the mechanics you can keep going forever.
Well... I put in all that effort to get it to run and then noticed the lack of game in it. That's too bad. Cool use of MAME.
Can you port to Mac please?
Nice and simple. I can dig it!
Can you make a Mac version perchance, or get this going under mono?
It's Agricola 8 bit version!
Looks very cool. Any chance for a Mac version?
Decent tower defense. I felt that the instructions for the towers made it overly complicated though, and I never felt I had enough money to do anything worthwhile.
Windows only? How about Mac?
I will not run source. Need executable. Python people...
Can you make a Mac version?
Please build binaries if you'd like me to play.
Very cool, but I found the game extremely difficult once I was past the first 3 levels though. I couldn't get enough control to get it into the goal.
The tutorial is sort of the opposite of a tutorial. I appreciate learning things organically, but I just mashed buttons until something happened in level 3 (FYI space bar changes your shot color). Overall decent, but I got bored quickly.
Man, lots of potential here. The mechanics seem pretty deep and like they were close to really working, but I had one big issue. Needing to spend the same resource to off an opponent as it cost me to make them meant the entire game nobody had no builders and it just kept going forever. We both spent all our crystal making a builder then another would kill it. There needs to be some kind of protector or something to trump warriors and spies, I think, or it goes on forever. Also the music gets painful quickly.
Looks interesting. Any chance for a Mac version?
This seems to have a lot of depth and cool things happening but I just couldn't fully grasp what was happening. I'd move and attack things and then things would happen. Did my cell die? Did I take over the other? What? And where is the challenge?
Could you make a Mac port please?
Thanks for playing. Interesting bug. I'll see if I can reproduce it. Unfortunately doing 2D in Unity turned out to be much less reliable than I had hoped in terms of collision detection and such. That has caused a lot of bugs.
@Jiddo - If you are ever unable to get back to where you need to be, try killing yourself. :-)
I'll maybe have a go at making the camera always pointing down, or at least making that an option. I agree it's weird controlling when upside down but I found it pretty fun.
@Pacifist Games - Thanks, I was worried maybe people could run out of there. I'll add some spikes or something in a post compo version.
@Jeremias - Yeah, I noticed that camera flickering on the first planet too. I'll look into it when I get a chance.
Thanks for the comments. The jumping does indeed wait for the takeoff animation to finish (approx 0.2 seconds). Seemed okay to me, but of course I'm the dev. In a post-compo version I'll consider changing that. Also there is a bug on angled ledges where it won't jump, I'll fix that later too.
@Per - The web link is working for me fine. Maybe it was a temporary outage? Can you try again? If that doesn't work, please try one of the standalone downloads.
Any chance of a Mac version of this?
What do I need to do to get this running under wine?
Pretty cool, but I found I was repeatedly impeded by asteroid collision bugs. When trying to go down small corridors, I would be flung back and forth until I had enough velocity to escape the confines of the level, and then I had no such slingshot to get back in. This continually kept me from completing the game.
Mac please!
Any chance for a Mac port?
Alas, I couldn't figure out how to "Please activate enableGPUAcceleration=true on your Silverlight plugin page." so I couldn't get it to go.
Very pretty retro graphics. Unfortunately I cannot play, being a Mac user.
Mac please thanks!
A pretty hilarious idea but I couldn't find the boss at all. I ended up with an army of like 30 guys all dancing but never found anything to fight. The actual mechanic is cool but not executed perfectly, given that you can just hold down the D key the whole time and be invulnerable. But where is the boss?
Alas, I cannot play an XNA game on Mac. Looks cool though.
I thought this was overall a strong entry. There were a few mechanical issues that hampered the playability of it but they weren't so bad. Mainly the speed of the camera was too fast, and there was no visual feedback when dragging people to the spaceship so I wasn't sure when it was working or not. A little more complexity with the basics and some polish there and removing some of the unnecessary complexity (shrinking planets I found annoying honestly) and I think this could be very good.
Mac please!
I'd love to play this but I have a Mac. Any chance for a port?
I gave you a higher score just because of the "Congratulations! You have died." at the end. The game didn't seem to get anywhere and certain combinations did nothing (H2O2 - hydrogen peroxide, CO2 - carbon dioxide) etc. Probably make a bigger disclaimer that only water works.
Any hope for a Mac port?
No enemies ever appeared for me after several tries. :-(
Pretty fun. I found it impossible once I got to wave 8 and I was hoping for more precise aiming (mouse aiming or at least 8 directional aiming) but it remains pretty fun.
Is there any way to get a mac port of this? It looks really cool.
Pretty fun, but you're pretty much screwed once you're seen by a cat thing, and there's nothing to be done about it. I tried retreating into my hole but they were just outside and killed me immediately.
I don't know if it was ever responding to my controls. They were either too subtle, I didn't know how to play, or the game didn't have focus so wasn't doing anything. I really don't know. I would have loved some feedback of some kind. Also it seems to go on without me just fine until it falls down an inevitable hole. What's going on? Absolutely gorgeous, though.
Any chance of a mac version? I'd like to give this a try!
Can you compile a binary for Mac?
Cool entry, but I eventually got so frustrated dealing with the monster that I gave up. It just gets too difficult to always jump at exactly the correct time when the movement is so fast. I'd say slow things down every time you die, or have less planets, or just make everything closer (the last option may be best, as I got bored getting the beer eventually).
Any chance for some Mac love?
Looks interesting, but I can't run Windows. Can you make a Mac port?
Alas, Linux and Windows but no Mac? What is the world coming to. :'-(
I think I just ran into my 10th Windows-only game in a row. Too bad I can't run it...
I know this is in XNA, but any chance to get a Mac port via mono? Or can I run the exe with mono?
Trying on Mac OS X: "Exception: Your window is x=262, y=60. Minimum required size is x=101, y=71" I made the Terminal window as big as possible and I have a large monitor. Why would the Terminal size matter?
Nice text adventure, I agree the battle mechanic is a good idea. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy this that much because I felt that the story vastly outweighed my choices. Generally I was just reading a lot, "you decided to do this" "you decided to do that" rather than actually deciding. Seems to defeat the purpose of a text adventure.
Nifty little game, certainly very pretty. Could use some more interesting mechanics, but is a off to a good start.
I kept eating and eating and nothing was happening. Also the music got grating quickly. Good work on the graphics though.
Can you make binaries please? I refuse to launch Python code - you py developers every compo seem to expect everyone to compile your code. Why is it such a difficulty to make an executable?
Very well polished and pretty game. I unfortunately got very frustrated with the water controls and needing to completely start over twice while I was on my way to the very first exit. Would be nice to have an indicator of how far along I am, and checkpoints should be more numerous and/or the penalty for dying shouldn't be a complete restart.
Decent. Has issues because there are no rounds to spend time upgrading and because all towers are forced to shoot at a single point. You can't do any meaningful mazing with all of them shooting in the same place. Also, what does this have to do with evolution?
Another Android game! I wish I had a device to try this on. You should look into Kevin Glass's pipeline for coding once for Android / Applet / iOS (code the game in Java).
Can you make this for Mac?

Could you make a Mac version?
Mac version?
Pretty funny, yes. Definitely could have used goals of some kind (make a cow with 8 legs and a pig head) because I got bored relatively quickly with no direction. Also the sound when text was appearing was extremely annoying in my headphones. Great overall.
Trying on Mac OS X:
If you're using LWJGL you need to include those libraries and use an sh to launch the jar with those in the classpath.

Mac version plz pluz plox?
When you posted "Mac version please" on my game 3 times I'm not sure if you're joking or not. "All" means all platforms. Applet works on all platforms. http://www.otcsw.com/applet/DarwinsApple/DarwinsApple.jar
On an unrelated note - I make more money than both my parents combined and I've only been professional for 4 years. I work in the game industry. It's a very valid way to make money and game engineers are in incredibly high demand. Tell your dad that.
Wouldn't respond to any input on Mac OS X, so I was stuck on the main menu.
Any chance or a Mac version?

I don't see where the theme really applies, but maybe that's just because I was dying so quickly. Sometimes I got pretty far but the bullets fly way to fast to feel like I had much influence on that. Thanks for making a Mac version. :-)
Mac version please thanks!

Bleh, XNA means no Mac version.
Hm looks like the OS X libraries are not properly included.

Why don't you say "all platforms" given that it's a JAR? I just ran on Mac no problem. Pretty cool game, I like the concept but it gets old quit quickly and I wasn't sure when it was going to end.
Mac version?
Looks cool. Any chance on a Mac port?
Hm not sure why I died the second time. This was pretty hard to play because I was paying attention to so many things and there was so little feedback as I went. Still, pretty good overall. "Who the hell cares" made me chuckle.
Looks purty! Mac port?
Maybe it was my trackpad, but the rate of movement of the gun was EXTREMELY fast and I just couldn't control anything.
Uh. No idea how to win, even on the easiest difficulty. It seems to grow more or less the same every time, and the instructions are no help. The intro story is also extremely long. Seems like it'll be very cool, but I just couldn't figure it out.
Seems nifty! Can I have a Mac port please?
Looks very pretty. Is there a Mac version in the works?
Looks blobby! Mac version?
Mac version please thanks!
Mac version?
Any chance for a Mac version?
Mac version please thanks!
@evilseanbot: Yes they lose half their health. If you wait around near that rock thing more will spawn, or you can go find more down the path (follow the signs). I agree transparency is one of the biggest issues the game has, it's why I removed inbreeding even though it is fully coded - it was extremely confusing.
@someone - yeah, I wanted to put in a mouse-hover option that showed the popup for a specific guy (or least placed it on top) but ran out of time. Maybe I will post-compo it.
...Applets are cross-platform, as is the "All" link which links to a JAR. Anybody can play this who has Java installed.
What is the big deal about asking for Mac versions? Usually it's not a tall order.
Mac version please thanks!
Hey - haven't played your game yet, but please go back and check mine out where you get a chance. I didn't realize my upload had somehow failed.
Quite good, actually. Good overall progression and generally pretty playable. My main issue was the placement of checkpoints, which was sometimes really frustrating (especially with the monkey) and the collision and physics are pretty iffy. Great overall though.
Seems cool. But. It's pretty much impossible to win the first battle. I don't understand why you didn't have a reasonable difficulty curve. I never even was able to get 2 cats. It seems evolution should have been pushed front and center.
