quite boring, but good game
really buggy
I don't think someone can play in it
You should have done some performance optimizations. It's very slow. I have no more then one frame per three seconds.
My computer is not that bad...
have the same problem too
browser chrome
Very good. Amazing graphics and good sounds. I think it's quite hard to play, I die very fast.
It is strangest tetris I've ever seen.
Quite interesting idea though.
This is all great but where is evolution?
I didn't have a lot of fun with it, i just shot in the right down corner, and sometimes even didn't see enemies.
Graphics are well drawn.
It has a high difficulty. There are a lot of enemies and they shoot really fast, so i can't dodge or kill them before loose health
great game
very interesting idea
337 mb... o_O
I don't like it
Graphics is good, even great.
Movements are awful.
Hero moves like a turtle.
Jumps on walls in super meat boy style were made very inconvenient.
I stuck on the red door,it didn't open, even though I had red key.
It was fun to play. Even though I do such simple action as bet. Quite addictive thing.
p.s. there was a kitten!
Well done game, but it really needs some music and sounds
This game could be great, but the way everything moves is just annoying. Everything is jerking. It wouldn't be hard to make it all smooth.
But anyway I like this game and it's quite fun.
It has good upgrade system. All game fit in evolution theme very good
But only if movements were good...
And I feel like there have to be music and sounds.
this game is weird... i think i was quite far, but then i met a HUGE amount of guys in one room, there were so many bullets... i don't think it was possible to pass.
I actually had fun with the game. Really like that i can throw everything.
I fell through the first hole, and then I explored underworld
I don't see any download link
I would appreciate if someone would tell me what grammar and spelling mistakes exactly are.
I'm not native speaker and still learn English.
Great! I really love backstory.
Very nice idea of breeding. But movements were quite bad.
I laughed from "Kill them liked Mario" :)
p.s. I wish my first game was something like this.
Great game! Gameplay is pretty simple, but the whole story was very interesting and funny. Especially I laughed when unfortunately f*cked my cousin :)
where's download link?
very slow thing
I can't say I don't like it... but it's really strange game
I like graphics and music. Gameplay was quite innovative, but i think difficulty is too high.
This is awesome! I was playing the whole game with smile on my face. The sound of cat's attack is so cute ^_^
nice music, but awful sounds
by the link game doesn't run, just jar file downloads
Awesome graphic!
Annoying thing that when you die the game restarts from the beginning.
This is amazing idea!
Great graphics and sound.
Really like it.
Unusual game, i really like graphics and music(especially music), And though i won the game, i still do not understand how to play. And yes, i forgot to read tutorial...
I have an error
http://imgur.com/jVSk5
What could it be?
The game was fun.In my first attempts the game looked very hard, but after a few minutes it was quite easy to play.
Graphics and music are also great.
This game is weird... I don't understand where I am, what I am, and what I am supposed to do.
The music is good, the style of the first level is great, but I didn't understand gameplay at all.
Character's behavior on second level is quite strange
it makes me laugh.
From fourth level it's very hard to play
The first part was awesome. I wish all game was like that.
After first level the game was rather boring then fun.
It was nice to play it.
But i don't understand what it has to do with evolution theme...
Nevertheless game is really good.
The sound, graphics and effect are really great. But I haven't found anything interesting in gameplay. It's even quite boring.
I like it.
Very nice upgrade system.
Awesome graphics and music. I think it's a bit not intuitive where to go and what to do. I stuck on third level
Something really strange.
Is there any way to win or lose?
It was hilarious! This is definitely the best game I've seen here. Graphics, music, humor are perfect. Maybe game isn't innovative, but it's fun!
I wouldn't call it a game...
Just beautiful animation with great sound
Don't know why, but it reminds me dwarf fortress.
"Do you like boom? I like boom. Zombies don't like boom"
I laughed so much!
Nice game. I think the upgrades must to be cheaper, because it was really long time when i could afford to buy something.
It was scary when that eye appeared
It is great idea. Very nice AI on second level. I couldn't win it, they always surrounded me.
This is actually interesting idea, but realization is quite bad. Especially I don't like character controls, he moves too fast, it's really annoying.
Really awesome game. Very weird, but cool style of graphics.
I can't believe it was done in two days.
Graphics, story, gameplay, everything was great.
It must be something bigger in future.
Wow this game looks very innovative. Game mechanics work very good. Would be really good for touch devices.
I like it very much. It's fun to play and it plays intuitive. And till stage 6 it is even kinda relaxing.
Well done!
Madball: let's think that's not a bug... let's say the guy just lied, so his wife wouldn't be so upset
Great concept! It requires some adjustments though, but overall it is awesome.
It was hilarious xD
It's almost impossible to evade cops.
Would be nice to have some kind of intro.
I like it very much! Graphics style is amazing. I like when people fall when wind blows. Overall idea is very
interesting.
It was very confusing at first, I really couldn't understand why couldn't I destroy planes with laser.
The game seems to be pretty good.
Bad thing game maker has bug with sounds when using win8, game just crashes when there are to many sounds play on the same time.
Though, all I saw was very good.
There's something wrong with controls. I can't aim light properly, and when i try to shoot, it shoots always at the same direction.
Also I haven't found shooting button on gamepad.
I really like graphics style. All those lights are awesome!
wow when everything works properly game is damn great! Where moody. I felt pity to creatures i killed.
*very moody
Funny. Gameplay was fast and dynamic. I like it.
What the hell did I just play?
Graphics are great, but game physics... it's kinda game in slow motion.
The end was hilarious and very weird xD
I enjoed this game. I wish it was faster, or had different difficulties levels, so the game would be faster at the start. I liked rotation of camera, but it would be so much better at higher speed, more dynamic. It reminds me about "super hexagon" game for some reason, even though gameplay is different. Overall is 5 stars
i liked it even though music didn't work for some reason
Controls were.. challenging. At first i coudn't control ship very well, but then i got used to it and it worked good enough.
I died for stupid reason, i was at 6 level, and i got caught on fire, and was dying slowly... was there any way to get rid off of fire?
Also i have very slow computer, and i had quite big jerks
what can be wrong?

I liked upgrade system. I wish there was music, it would be way more dynamic.
dropbox is down :(
interesting concept
i wish there were more levels
AWESOME game!
fun game, with good mechanics
controls should be more polished
great that it has "skip level" feature, some levels looked so impossible to finish :)
even size of game is minimalistic :)
it is fun, it's quite hardcore, i wish there were more hearts or aditional charachter lives... or something to make it easier
overall gameplay was fun
Should've had first place!
I guess those rainwalkers are just myth. Or main character is crazy and thinks he's not alone. It was great! Even though gameplay is primitive, but having feeling that at some moment you are going to meet one of rainwalkers is very intriguing
wow, very good result for the first game!
it was moody, but kinda too short to get into this moon world
Graphics are great. I find gameplay rather boring... you just drive and drive, nothing happens. It would be great if there were more gameplay elements.
it will be top10 for sure!
Gameplay was nice, untill i reached snake level... is it possible to beat? I tried 20+ times, just couldn't make it.
Great game
Very good level design
Difficulty was high, but it was fun to beat it
great game!
It was quite hard to finish, but I had a lot of fun
Interesting graphics style
But why 20 seconds?
Nice game mechanic, but quite frustrating sometimes to get killed almost randomly
controls are real hard, I couldn't quite figure out which planet connects to which
Test
cool game, but it is really hard to figure out how to complete a level
It was kind of hard. There are so many enemies, but your weapons hardly can do anything to them. I think it would be more fun if I could blow them up in a few shots.
Nice graphics and UI. Is new unity UI great to work with? Is it better then ngui?
Awesome!
I loved that I had to use different tactics in different situations.
It is well balanced. It is not easy, but it is fun to defeat overwhelming enemies.
Although, I didn't quite like sounds and music. But it didn't really affected gameplay quality.
It was kind of dull, but quite fun. It's not quite clear what each bonus does. The explosion visual radius is slighly smaller then its death radius, which is quite annoying.
that's awesome that you wrotethe whole engine during compo. I struggled to finish my game even with game maker.
The game itself is quite confusing, espicially at first. And even later there is so much stuff going on, you don't know what to do.
The graphiics style and sound are great.
That was weird.
Great game. I like that you have voice in game, It feels so much more professional with it.
The gameplay is fine. I wish ship had more means to defend itself.
I really loved sound.
Online leaderboard seems to work.
That was frustrating! Sometimes I was raedy to break my keyboard! Anyway good game with good level design. Although it unfortunatly lacks sound :(
Awesome game, wish the progress was faster.
Great game, I really enjoyed playing it. It would be way better if it had some music though.
Great idea!
You should have removed debug information file pdb, it takes really a lot of space. The game itself looks beautiful, but character controls are quite bad. Maybe it also caused by the fact that I have ~15 fps, but it was really difficult.
Frenchie,I have CPU i5-3350P and GPU GeForce GT 630
It is below average configuration I think.
That was way better then I expected!
At first I thought you would have to blow more leafs each level. But then it came out in very unexpected way.
The game seems a bit unfinished, but otherwise quite fun.
Liked the sound of spiting :)
The graphics are nice.
Was hard to figure out at first, but after that was quite easy to finish missions. Needs even more levels!
Nice game.
Left mouse weapon seems kind of pointless, because right button is so much more powerful, everything dies before mana runs out.
Sometimes it was hard to find enemies.
What a great idea!
The implementation is quite bad though.
The game is too hard, mistakes are fatal, hero gets stuck a bit to the walls.
As for now it is just nice prototype. Would be great to see more juice when destroying enemies(like explosions, camera shake etc). It is currently not very satisfying to kill.
Sorry I am being a bit too harsh.
I would love to see it implemented properly. Good luck!
Great game!
The music and sounds reminded me of battletoads!
Destroying things was the best. Controls felt a bit slugish though.
Nice explosion sound and effect!
Hero moves way too slow! It is impossible to get all the wolfes in time, just because the hero is so lazy...
Graphics and sounds are nice though.
I replayed it with your fixes. And it is now a very playable game! Shame it wasn't like that in the beginning.
Even though controls were terrible, collisions buggy, this game was fun. I don't even know why. I guess that's level layout or challange.
Why, why no sounds?.. The game doesn't feel quite right without them.
Anyway, overall good game and nice art.
Great usage of theme.
Great game!
I was surprised how intuitive the controls are.
Levels are a bit too long in my opinion.
The learning curve is too steep. I spent good 10 minutes trying to beat some level, but no luck. So I would recommend to introduce difficulty in less harsh manner.
I enjoyed the mechanic though.
Pretty good. The game feels finished. But somehow lucks feedback, as I am not really sure if I am moving in the right direction or not. It would be better if there was some specific sound when moving in the right direction, or more noticable visual effect, or camera shake only if you do something right.
Also in my opinion camera shake was to violent and redundant.
if these things would be there it would be a really good game.
really epic! I wish there was some goal though. And I think there should have been more explosions!
Nice game with good execution.
I kind of reached the situation when not enoungh enemies were on the screen. So the game became boring at that point and I had to quit.
I find fighting mechanic kind of awkward to use. It is not convenient that you can not attack while moving.
So I also had to cheat the game by just running through levels.
this is unbelievably well done.I can't imagine how something this good can be done in 48h.
Graphics, sounds, music, gameplay everything is amazing!
It is a perfection.
I thought at first it was a jam game.
I like how the controls kind of make you move like a tornado =D
it's just awesome
really awesome, worth beating every level
awesome controls! really fun to use once you get hang of them. Finished the game wanting more levels to beat. The mechanic is just so awesome.
Awesome! This reminds me of my game for LD30.
I like how the game becomes giant clusterfuck.
Graphics and sounds are pretty good. Gameplay is a lot fun, but kind of pointless, because the only target is to grow the bigger chain.
Really awesome. Attacks have nice feeling to them.
The only thing that feels wrong, is character movement speed. The character has running animation, but moves really slowly, so it look weird.
Graphics are simply awesome
Also sometimes there was a real lack of enemies, I had to wait for them to come and get me. But there was a lot of quite intense moments too.
Upgrade system is nice addition and keeps gameplay flowing.
The controls are amazing, they are surprisingly intuitive to use. Great graphics. Wish there were sounds. I had to voice the game myself...
Really fun overall.
interesting concept, but I think there was lack some kind of sound rhythm, because as is it's pretty hard to time hits.
yeah.. this was too hard, probably if the jump would happen more often it would be easier, probably longer houses, i don't know.. it clearly needed more tuning and polishing.
Graphics are great looking of course.
I feel like sometimes it was impossible to dodge some bullets, which didn't feel good. Overall shooting is pretty cool. I mostly found myself using one weapon, the one shooting through everything. Other weapons seem much much weaker. And needed a better balance. And I didn't have time to decide which weapon to use at any given moment anyway, because there was so much going on.
really cool, played it for quite a while
Really cool mechanic, it was funny to die in unexpected ways
Really cool idea and everything worked well
Really funny intro, everything about the game was great. The only bad thing is difficulty, the levels should be shorter, or have checkpoints.
Art is awesome, although lacking antialising. Gameplay was not challenging though.
Nice,
not a lot of variety, buy the game feels complete and had just perfect length of gameplay.
Smooth particles look kind of weird with together with pixel art though
Really liked music and graphics.
Didn't like enemies though, killing them took too long, and didn't feel rewarding(if they exploded with some camera shake it would help a lot).
a lot of fun!
really liked the third cat weapon, and especially its sound
first level was really slow paced, others were quite fun
Remove pdb files from build to reduce download size!
later levels are quite crazy, I was like wtf is this shit
remove pdb files from build, they are not needed.
controls feel immediately familiar, as if I played this game before
music is really cool
art is nothing special, but works well
Really liked this entry, feels like complete game.
i liked the age transition
gameplay feels kind of primitive though, there was no difference in weapon types, apart from visual style.
it's kind of cool, but having only two choices without much of visual impact gets boring quite quickly.
pretty cool how you managed to add so many different trains
progression feels a little overwhelming, as things unlock so fast
also I think level scrolling should have been done with mouse as other controls
Overall really well done game
you should definitely fix controls issue(bug fix allowed even post compo), as the game is a lot harder than it should be with this bug.
The game is fun and graphics/sound are good, but the bug is kind of ruining it all
I'll check out later if there is fixed version.
I feel like screen shake is a bit overused, it should be less noticeable on shooting(but that's just my opinion)
also shop ui was too hard to get to, it should be 1 button press max, not a whole main menu navigation
overall cool finished game, game mechanics worked well
Really reminded me of nes games. Wish there was some old school music.
bigoss73, I was thinking about implementing pathfinding, but was afraid the game would become too difficult, because all monster suddenly walk directly to you, and the game would have to be rebalanced, which would take quite a bit of time. So I wasn't taking this risk.
this was actually pretty cool!
graphics and sound create a great atmosphere.
this is really great concept, wish it was more completed
i loved how you do not see anything if you remove commander
really cool characters, each with their own mechanics. I enjoyed it a lot.
Pretty good.
didn't read description, so I was confused at first, and tried to kill everyone, thought those guys were going to rob me :D
Pretty cool. Wish there was some upgrade system. It would allow to make really interesting choices
It was quite entertaining game to play. The hero seems hungry all the time!
the game looks professionally done, I really like the crash camera. the ship is fun to control
this is really great idea and use of theme!
great entry. Everything done well, but I especially loved sounds and music.
this was really unexpected game. I liked the ending.
really awesome feedback on hits, and i liked sounds and atmosphere. I wish death was not so painful though..
