"Next time use Screen.lockCursor or something like that, sometimes after passing a level the mouse cursor wasn't in the center of the screen, making it harder to play. ""

This please. I kept moving my cursor out of screen while playing, and then I wasn't able to keep spinning anymore. Very annoying.

I haven't played your game, but I will.

I just wanted to let you know, I replied your long text/review of Rings of Evolution, the game made by us.

I would really like you could take the time to read it. And am really thankful for the insight and criticism you had to our game, and for the time you took to play it and write all of that.

You just keep walking around picking up the right ideas for the citizens?

In paper the concept looks great, but in execution the game felt really boring. Don't want to look too negative, the game is very polished, looks good and sounds good... but the gameplay is very "meh".

Caveman's Quest for Food by jfroco 2012-08-29T03:58:00

I was having fun playing the game... and then it finished too quickly!

Come on man, you were making this in GM Studio, you could churn out a billion of levels in a couple of hours by just creating new "Rooms" :D

Jokes aside, I found the game very charming and I was really enjoying it, shame it was so short. Its amazing how simple but well thought games can really be so good.

But the theme here is lacking... where's evolution?

Phase Evolution by lurkingshadow 2012-08-29T03:52:00

It's working here...

Space Worm by hamster_mk_4 2012-08-29T03:46:00

Polished game, but a little boring.
Got the 1000 kittens achievement or whatever you call it :)

Also, its not fun to have an uncontrollable avatar floating around on screen while is being fired from all angles. Not fun at all.

But even then I couldn't die, the game is pretty easy, and maybe that's why its boring.

Gravallax by Entity2d 2012-08-29T03:36:00

I swear I got a "Game over" outta of nowhere.

The game is not difficulty. Not at all. You just have to time your movement correctly to make enemies move into your bullets. At first I found the game boring, but when different enemies begun to appear and I had to rethink the strategy to kill them, it became a little more fun.

Then I became overpowered and I was just blazing on screen shooting like crazy and the enemies could barely stay on screen before dying.

And then a random Game Over came from nowhere, even though I am sure my energy was completely full the instant before.

Cosmogonie by Spotline 2012-08-29T03:28:00

Erm.
This is not a game.
It looks cool and everything, but this is not a game.

Eat or Die by yettatore 2012-08-29T03:23:00

Simple and fun game. The music is indeed very nice :)

Robot Panic by Oliver Simon 2012-08-29T03:18:00

You can actually pass through all pistons at once. And I also had trouble jumping.

Species X by pfirsich 2012-08-28T22:02:00

So...I really liked this game.It made me remember of the movie "I'm the legend" with Will smith.
It is very cool.The audio it made me feel like i was in a horror movie,so i think it is very interesting is what you wanted was to create an atmosphere of an horror or suspense movie.

Penelope Panther by fantasywiz54 2012-08-28T21:51:00

It take me a little long to understand the controls,but the game is very cool.
The graphics are amazing too.
The enemy of the game is interesting too.They appear out of nowhere and get the gamer out of surprise.

Ikaruga Devolved by ChronoDK 2012-08-28T21:42:00

You got me confused there, I was trying to absorb bullets of my color and was losing energy.. and I was like "what the hell?". Then I figured out I actually had to activate a shield, unlike the real Ikagura game.

Yeah, I am a big "shmupper" :D

The game is too easy. Recharging your energy by absorbing bullets make everything even easier (I could get up to stage 10 without even caring about it). You should had mixed more black and white enemies at the same time.

Also, I didn't get how I "evolve". My shot speed just kepting getting slower and slower (Which actually made the game harder, which is a good thing, but a very annoying way to do it), even though I was holding up all the time.

But I kept playing the game for a while, so its fun. Alas, dodging bullets and exploding alien ships is always fun :)

Evo Smash by zkenshin 2012-08-28T21:26:00

Some nice little touches in the game, but there's nearly no strategy on it. Just spawn creatures as fast as you can, wait for the DNA to reach 500 and evolute. It becomes too easy.

But its a staple for an interesting game that could come.

Corevolution by asfdfdfd 2012-08-28T21:08:00

The game is fun to play... but what does the evolution do here?

EVO-001 by kyyrma 2012-08-28T21:01:00

Nice game. Don't say the game doesn't fit the theme.

"You collect DNA icons to evolute the weapons"

Now it fits the theme :D

Revolution by BrothersT 2012-08-28T20:54:00

The game crashed when I tried to open it. Tried a few times, it crashed everytime :(

Darbot Saves Science by science4cake 2012-08-28T20:46:00

"Waiting for approval".

When it gets approved, could you message me (Perhaps by leaving comment in my game page) so I could try it?

History of the black pixels by kidanger 2012-08-28T20:45:00

From what I understood, you jump above the enemies to "steal" their pixels.

Obsolete Upgrade by RARoadkill 2012-08-28T20:35:00

Played the game 'til the end.

I liked it a lot! I nearly broke my space bar rapid firing my floppy disks :D The idea is lovely.

The toaster move at nearly the same speed of your computer when jumping, which is really annoying, since jump over them, is nearly impossible.

And in 2nd stage, the vacuum cleaners shoot at you off screen! This is kinda unfair, but as they don't do much damage, it just made by space bar gets more damaged as I kept shooting non-stop trying to hit stuff off screen :D

But those are minor problems, it's a sweet game!

SIX by kbsgametoilet 2012-08-28T18:05:00

Strange, I swear I played this yesterday and I had just 3 lives.. now I played it again and I have 10 ??

Eggplant farm by mokujin 2012-08-28T17:56:00

The controls are complicated because you have to point the mouse to one side to shoot and to the other to move.

It took me some time to understand how the game works.

But it's nice effort, the game has some interesting ideas.

Game Time Evolution by Jacic 2012-08-28T03:38:00

The controls are buggy! Most of my deaths happened because I pressed up and the character didn't jump!

The evolution theme here is pretty forced.

The level design is good, if there were more levels and the controls were responsive, I could've had more fun with this game.

PEB 2012 by madpew 2012-08-28T03:31:00

The game is kinda boring... and when 2 or 3 balls come at THE SAME TIME it's impossible to block all of them, which is a bad design decision.

But the take on the theme was lovely :D

Oneway by azurenimbus 2012-08-28T03:20:00

I tried to play it, but it didn't make any sense. Two symbols move to the right, doesn't matter which one I choose, the one at the top explodes.

If I pick the top one, the game frezzes

If I pick the bottom one, it keeps going, then the screen turns white... and nothing happens.

Out of the Sea by Uberi 2012-08-28T02:41:00

Same problem here :(
Windows 7 32 bits.

Vessolution by NedortGames 2012-08-28T02:29:00

The music is pretty good, but the game is kinda pointless. What's the point in making my ship bigger? What's the money for? Dodging the sharks is pretty easy.

How evolution really works? by keenblaze 2012-08-27T21:55:00

Very funny game! And the blocky graphics are full of charm! The "Plot" is very cool!

Shame it's so short.

Top of the Food Chain by ASOT 2012-08-27T21:45:00

It took me a while to get used with the controls, and the hitbox is very unclear.

But after how I understood how the game works, is very fun. You need to take strategic decisions to where to move *while* dodging enemies. I thought when I hade completely evoluted the game would get boring, but still I had to fight to survive.

Shame about the lack of sounds though.

Blobber by Mstrp2ez 2012-08-27T21:34:00

The game is way too buggy to be any playable. I've lost my blob a few times, other times I teleport to places in the map that I don't think I should teleport, I am able to jump when I shouldnt....

The graphics are nice, but being so buggy, it's basically unplayable and not fun.

Evolution VS 1000 kittens by Citiral 2012-08-27T21:25:00

I liked the use of the theme, but the game is too slow to be any fun. It takes toooooo long to be able to evolute, and in the beginning when you get overwhelmed by the kittens, you don't have much to do.

The controls work very well, the scheme with wasd+mouse is pretty good.
