I LOVE IT! Amazing work You've done!
Wow! I didn't expect such deep game! The story and puzzles are really exceptional. Hmm, maybe only I hardly see any signs of the evolution here...
Why are there 3 ratings submitted? Can people who rated this provide us links to the game?
Wow! Pretty nice and innovative game! I like it :)
This is fun!
The same problem: crashes at the first text screen. Win7Pro x64
Quite slow... And You can win by placing only a wall of cannons! But would be a great game with more enemies and cash! Still nice one!
Ok, thanks for the comment! It can be confusing: it isn't a loading screen - it's a story introduction, You should pass by it by pressing any key.
And about warnings: I really don't know what is wrong. I'm using known free hoster cba.pl and avast has never given me any notifications.
Please contact me if You are still having problems!
Thank You for your comments! I know I've messed up with the gameplay a bit. Also the score doesn't work well. But, since I'm not supposed to enhance it, I have to leave it as it is. After 2 weeks I'm planning to post the updated game. I've also added some features to the gameplay.
Yeah, sorry for grammar. I was trying to do everything by myself, without any help. Will try harder next time.
And, in case You didn't know: You can bypass intro by clicking the Esc button.
Thank You all for voting!!! You gave me also a nice feedback in comments, I appreciate that!
I didn't expect to see such high votes! Especially for audio, taking into consideration that I didn't manage to make a music theme. This is a great sign for me to start working harded :)
I'm trying to make this game at least playable. I WILL make a post here about a post-compo version, just didn't want to mess with it while You was still voting.
Thank You again and See You on next LD!
Wow! Very thematic game! And fun! The last level is maybe a bit trival, but, wow, in general: awesome!
Very fun game! One of the most playable!
Yeah, You can infinite jump with every character. This is because You can jump while You jump (yo dawg!). I couldn't find the last gene with the snake. Overall game is ok!
I really like the graphics. Great idea!
Really nice audio/video. Thematically is ok. I wish it were more interesting. It's so long and boring after few stages of evolution...
Everyting is so delicious in this game: humor, fun, graphics, audio, attitude to theme! Fantastic!
Good one! Approved!
Thank You all for Your feedback. The "confusion" effect was planned. I mean it was supposed to be something like "hard to be evil/genious". One day You wake up, look on your blackboard and it's like one big "WTF?!" because You forgot what You've been doing (too many threads on genious head).
I know, it doesn't work but I just tried to find it out :)
One more thing: there is a clipping bug in level 2. One wall has moved somewhere else. I don't know if updating the game wouldn't be against LD rules so I'll just make second (updated) link. Also, post-compo version coming soon :) (this time for real)
garygreen, You can download the love.exe program from love2d.org and run the source *.love file with command "love mevil.love"
Ok, I've provided instructions in readme file before but just in case: In order to change values You have to move Your mouse cursor on the field You're aditing. I know it isn't the most convenient solution. I'm working on post-compo version which will include some fixes.
Uff... After about 30 minutes I managed to run it in Netbeans. I'm not familiar with LWJGL and Netbeans didn't want to import this project (is it really an Eclipse one?). The game works pretty well, congratulations! Levels are generated randomly which I appreciate (it influences on the replayability). What could be better is mechanics - it takes ages to move my character, levels are sometimes impossible to beat and title is lying - after pulling guard into hole (I think it's the only way to get rid off of him), he... respawns!
Hmm I was having fun for a while! Congratulations, I think :)
Hmm, it was fun. Nice audio and interesting art!
Hmm... not very original, and poor graphics. But overall nice, fun game for a few minutes. Good job!
Wow! New masterpiece. One of the games I will be playing long after Ludum Dare :)
Very very cool game with nice, innovating mechanics. One of my favourites. But... tbh, I didn't finish it. I failed at this level with 2 lanes. It is very frustrating because sometimes You can't finish with random drop. It hurts so much... Nevertheless, one of this LD's must-plays!
Wow! I'm impressed! To sum up: cons: If I'm the boss, why is my opponent healthier and stronger? This game doesn't give the feeling that I'm a boss; gameplay is also a bit repetitive; most of updates are pretty useless; pros: it feels like a finished game (I never felt it with my ones...), gratz!; graphics is pretty fine and so is general concept; plus thank You for the mute button, it really counts!
Neat! I'm waiting for Valve to rip this lights off in L4D3 :) Moar games like this and the evil plan of destroying 3d will succeed!
Wow! Cool game! Very nice graphics, gameplay and interesting level design (one of the bests). Plus multiplayer! (which isn't playable at all but it is) Also, unappreciated one (such great game with only 6 votes...)
Masterpiece! One of the greatest LD's fruits of all times!
Fun. I like it!
Brilliant! Fun and challenging!
Wow! With that small content levels are incredible different! And fun! But tbh, I didn't manage to complete that 1-D stage. It was too hard. Anyway, one of my favourites!
@kddekadenz: I'm sorry. I've tested it on Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7 x64 and it always worked very well. Be sure to use the newest stable version of Love2d (0.8). For instance, on the Ubuntu Marketplace is still old version, 0.7 !
I've been using Love engine for some time, saw a lot of weird code but still it is first time i hear about such a problem... Sorry, I will try other Linux distributions!
Thank You for Your comments. They are really helpful. The game was supposed to be oldschool but it turns out that I've exaggerated a bit...
I'm working on the quick reference sheet. It is a good idea, thanks!
Also, I noticed that the forest level is too difficult for the beginners.
Ok. I confess that I did a little fix here. Because it was really annoying, You can now exit by pressing Alt+F4. That's all :)
@manax, Thank You. My last upload was interrupted and therefore, the archive wasn't complete. I've replaced it.
@Spirdios, You got intro screen. Congratulations, it worked! Try to press Enter button. Remember to read the instructions. This game's form require User to do it and without manual is completaly unplayable.
I want to break freeee :D
It's so cute...
I like the walljump system. You also did a nice effort on theme. Plus a really nice ending. Good job!
A finished game! 100% on theme! That's still uncommon on LD (I've failed 3rd time in a row to provide a finished product ;) ). You're definitely over the average!
Wow, that's fun! And minimal. I'll save it to my phone :)
Very good game! Excellent level design! But I won't forgive You making space a color changer :P It was pure evil!
Excellent idea! The bad thing is that the game crashes during the match, every time... It would be great to see matches 2v2 or 1 lane 1v1 (during the normal 1v1 game, every one sticks to his line and game lost its interactivity)
Wow, AFAIC - perfect game in every possible way. Great idea, design and implementation! I've barely started on voting but I bet this will stay on top for some time :) Good job!
Thank you all for playing!
@Endurion: I just needed an additional day to patch the runtime up. I had to do this on another machine :)
And, to answer your call: no, this fall lasts about 40 seconds, as you can see the lights grow bigger. After that the game proceeds to next level. There IS a victory screen at the end of the game :)
Counting beeps is the aim of the game. Basically it's a game about multitasking :). I've tried with a drawn clock, but it's just too easy then.
Although I know, game is a bit too hard, it lacks in introduction.
@alts: You are right. In fact, they are supposed to make character to move. When you are in still move, they are easily ommitable.
On the other hand, they are too hard obstacle for the first few seconds of play and I've made a horrible mistake throwing them at the unexperienced players...
@01Rafael: Sorry, I have some problems with webplayer. It turned out that this game doesn't like web :(
Also there was a bug I've created repairing previous bug. The last bug made it almost impossible to complete level 2. Yesterday I've upload the stable (I believe) build.
I see many of You have problems with mines - there is an easy method: keep moving, stop only if you have no exit. It's hard, it took me 4 attemps after some break. My friend, who had not played it before, made it in 3! He's good!
Hmm.. I like the concept and assets. This is a pretty decent game, it is simple and has clear rules. But, TBH, I couldn't find how to play it - it is extremaly easy to dodge attacks but I don't know how to say who will shoot first in a direct confrontation. Anyway - well done, I like it!
I don't care if game is hard or random as long as it is fun! It's rewarding, educational and addicting. Nicely done!
I love the idea. Villagers are a bit bugged but the game is still playable. Also great effort on assets!
Very playable one! Although I find it impossible to play wizard or rogue, I see a lot of potential here. We want more levels! :D
Wow! A true gem on Ludum Dare! I love to have it on my phone, thank you for the android binary :) Sorry, I can't rate theme very high, but everything else is outstanding!
Amazing stuff! Extremely playable and innovative. Well done!
Nice game, I really like the idea. Graphics and audio is OK. Some levels got repetitive but I enjoyed them. I can't see the theme though. Also I'm afraid you've put too many things in your game. At first I felt I'm playing a puzzle game, then it started to be a thrilling survival, in the end, finishing as a trapformer. It's ok but I felt a bit dizzy when every level looked like a different game...
