Great game. The concept is pretty straight forward so the lack of instructions doesn't really matter. Although, you could have added some kind of info for the different items or at least have the player to know the prices of the items and upgrades.
I think you might have missed out to end the thread in the game when it is closed. The music kept playing and the Java process was still running after closing the game.
Apart from that. Lovely graphics and solid concept. 5/5
Feels like a nice mix between Tetris and a bullet hell. Pretty hard though. I kept getting trapped and killed against the screen walls.
It is executed very well. Although, it was a tad problematic to not have the alive aliens go all the way to the edge of the screen when I had a couple of dead ones hanging on my sides.
Not being able to see bellow the player felt dangerous when I was supposed to jump down to something.
It is a good concept and had me occupied for a couple of games. The difficulty increases pretty quickly.
The controlls were really annoying and did not feel good at all. If you keep working on those this could turn out to be a fun lil' arcade game.
The game does nothing but showing two red circles, a blue rectangle and the text "Evolution, it simply works".
It is a great game, reminds me of Impossible Game but with evolution added to it. I just have one thing to point out. The sounds. While it was great with the arcade-ish sounds, I noticed some delay in it. Eg the jump sound wouldn't play until I were at the top of the jump, not when I actually jumped. Maybe there is some upgrade later ingame for this (I did not survived very far ;P).
Great game! I just love games like this!
Though, I have some complaints.
First; The credits income is way too fast. The last upgrades are afforable after a very short time.
Second; The split upgrade felt a bit excessive. One bullet could alone destroy an entire horde of green enemies.
Third; The number/level of enemies should probably increase slower. I know these games are supposed to be fast-paced, but this game is really REALLY fast-paced.
I could not figure out what to do, but it was really REALLY beautiful!
The game is fun and it got a nice look to it.
It is a bit hard ingame as the enemies can catch you pretty easily.

Space Theory by Jens Nolte 2013-05-02T09:26:00
*Feels bad for having a Radeon GPU*
Anywho!
The no-AA version worked fine and smoothly, up until I flew all the way to the sun and turned around. Rendering all asteroids in one screen had a bit of a hit on my frame rate. Not a lot, it was still very much playable. I don't believe it dropped more than 5-10 fps, ending up on ~50. So some kind of LOD depending on distance to the rocks could be nice.
The controls were smooth and dandy. Being able to "jump" and "crouch" were a nice touch.
Although, the added force on the lasers (going left made them go slightly left) made it really hard to aim.
I really liked the easy going graphics. Nice colours and shapes, all together.
Escape the Minimalism by klianc09 2013-04-30T12:16:00
The game looks pretty dull and OH MY GOD COLOURS AND MUSIC!
This game was amazing. Just amazing. The music was fitting well and the game paces really well. The fade out effect of the star power was a really nice touch.
I did find one issue though. The landing seemed a bit dodgy, visually. It did not affect the gameplay as far as I noticed.
Minimalist Dungeon Crawler by Cranky 2013-04-29T19:57:00
This game was REALLY good. And hard, very hard.
The monotonic style looked really good. 5/5
The audio was suitable to the style. 5/5
Overall; The controls were nice, everything looked good. 5/5

It looks pretty good for what it is, but as argo15 said. Shame it isn't more done.
Everybody Hates the Potatoes in the Magic Kingdom by kulhajs 2013-04-29T19:37:00
Oh lordy lord, this was a hard game.
The game stays true to the theme minimalism, and so does the graphics.
Prism by Tapestry 2013-04-29T19:21:00
The first windows link worked fine for me.
Graphics stay true to the theme, minimalism.
The twist of the good ol' classic Snake was fun and kept me playing for a time.
Although, I did found some issues.
1) If you turn around too quickly you turn into yourself and lose.
2) The stones(?) would appear in inconvenient places. Eg, under the tail and in the boxes.
Overall. Twas a good, fun game.
Dock Zone by Farfin 2013-04-29T18:55:00
The graphics are absolutely terrific. Love it! Strong 5 on that.
The sounds of the pyramids was very pleasant. The lack of music made it feel like this takes place in a vast place out in nowhere, as if it is a challenge of the mind. No complaint. Strong 5 on that, as well.
The overall feeling was kept to the theme.
Very good job! :D

The graphics are minimalistic, indeed. Each colour alone shows their function in the game. Good job there.
The overall look on the game is, again, minimalistic, following the theme of this Ludum Dare. Full score.
The gameplay is simple enough to learn without any tutorial. Twas a great idea to add one new colour at a time to let the player get the hang of it.
Overall. Purdy job.
