Quite fun! Difficulty increase through game progression is well done.

Quite fun! Difficulty increase through game progression is well done.
Animation and graphics style beautiful. Reminded me a bit of Dino Run!
Good fun! Just work on some visual clues and perhaps changing some of the world colors so you can better see the bullets you shoot!
I liked how nothing was explained, but it wasn't too difficult to figure everything out through the subtle cues of the game! Wicked!
I liked the graphics and how getting your shuttle to take off felt legit!
I got about halfway thru twice but kept accidentally falling off in the part with the red and yellow balls. I like the idea and feel, but some of the puzzling would be more fun if it was more intuitive.
Only the "Ammo Left: " is displayed on my screen, nothing else!
I totally whacked that snake! WHAM! Nice graphics by the way!
Above the Windows download links to a zipped version of my game. However, those of you that don't have the XNA redistributable or certain other frameworks installed may have trouble. Thus, the installer should work every time : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/122720/T%20-%20O%20-%20G%20-%20E%20-%20T%20-%20H%20-%20E%20-%20R%20%20%20%20%20A%20-%20L%20-%20O%20-%20N%20-%20E%20INSTALLER.zip Its also the smallest in download size...ENJOY!
The only problem with the installer is it runs the game right away and you may have to run the game a few times in order to win. The game launcher should be in your All Programs list under the name "TOGETHER ALONE" after your install. Sorry for this!
Now the Windows link links you to the installer instead of the zipped folder for those of you that were having trouble. The zipped is mentioned and downloadable through link in the above description. Sorry for any confusion!
Terribly sorry to hear that, will probably avoid using XNA and such in the future due to the annoyance...
Thanks Kitch! Best avatar I have ever seen by the way. I just ran out of time due to some early game ideas flopping midway through, else I would have worked on making a menu or at least some sort of retry feature and possibly variable difficulty.
Glad you liked the soundtrack and made it to the romantic ending, I was a tad worried the difficulty would be too great a deterrent! :)
Lots of fun! Hello camera...oh can't see me through the wall...MELEE to the FACE!
Difficulty was a bit too easy...SEND ON THE ZOMBIES! But I had good fun dropping blocks on their squisable heads!
Cool that you made your won engine, platforming physics felt a bit wonky, but were also fun and a nice difference from the norm.
Fun game, cool work with flashlight mechanic! Would be cool if you didn't have to restart every time, I died quite a bit!
The back end looks pretty good, will be better when more gameplay is added!
Graphics look great, throwing the boxes was a little laggy but good fun!
Fun gameplay! It takes a second to realize just how powerful the tomes make you!
Really jumped as well. Not too big a fan of end result/story, but it was a tad interesting. Not actually sure if the game did this or not, but it seemed like some walkways disappeared as I looked away. Quite cool, could have perhaps been some weird looking maze mechanic.
Hrmm...I think you forgot to link to the download for your game, all I see is the XNA installer link...
Nice game mechanic, and cool graphics, especially when changing your character's stats through re-evolving. Platforming mechanics were a bit wonky though, and I wasn't sure what shooting did before getting the spike powerup...
Same here (404 Page Not Found), looks cool though, fix the link so we can give it a shot!
I was able to get to the .zip file, just click the smallest download box on the page. But I also couldn't get the game to run, the cmd line output I got was the following: Traceback (most recent call last):

Same here, no luck, tried both Chrome and IE.
This game is great fun! Got quite addicted, upgraded pretty fun, took done some 500hp baddies! The upgrade of the character and his graphics were cool, until I think the last upgrade, where my guy became a blue square, prob just a lil error, but its not a biggie. Quite satisfying to slam on the space bar and retreat!
Money: 88199
Dead Sheep: 6/60

I am a sheep breeder! Yes! Fun game, took me a little while to realize the help button was just the question mark. Has a sim feel that fits the theme well. I started keeping my sheep management low by selling a ton of sheep when I realized just how long 15 years was! Music repetitive but looped nicely.
Great game! This take on the evolution theme is quite ingenious and well-implemented. If you wanted to know the small issues I experienced, I didn't hear any sound, just letting you know in case there was supposed to be any, and one time the description boxes for the powerups were stuck open, obscuring the field a bit, but that only happened once.
Issues aside, this was quite awesome and fun! I wonder how much deciding the battle goes to the setup of the bugs, but either way, picking and voting and watching feels wonderfully epic!
Great game, fits theme, and really immerses. Mechanics are simple but feel right, controlling so much with such simple motions, you feel powerful!
Hrmm, looking into it. Not quite sure how to package it all up, thought what I had would work. Thanks for all the data though! Will comment again when I have uploaded something different.
Have tried some repackaging and updating, would appreciate if you guys could give it another go!
I do believe I am using the latest Java JRE to compile (1.7), is that the version of Java you guys are using to try and run?
I think I have it working now for screens that can display the full resolution! Please give it a shot again my good men and women!
Or maybe for screens that can at least display 1250x750 or higher!
I have tried quite hard, but on other machines regardless of resolution, I believe you still fly off screen. Don't know why it doesn't do that on my machine, but I guess you guys can't really play it, unless you never hit a wall. So I guess just don't rate, at least I can play my game. Sorry I couldn't get it working for all you chaps!
Glad you enjoyed it. Yah, cool idea, didn't really get to flesh it out though. Totally glad someone else finally got it in a mildly playable state! Sweetness!
So you want to either get the pink bar or black bar to fill up the screen. Let the lines between players connect to get the pink bar to fill, and attack with space right before they connect to get the black bar to fill. Attacking has some bugs though as experienced by Casino Jack above...
Interesting, but indeed quite difficult for me as well, even on easy.
Very nice looking game, though a bit difficult to find out where to go!
Quite fun to mess around in, I got stuck in a corner though!
Fun little game, I like the color palette and enemies!
Quite fun, though I am not quite sure how it fits the theme.
What is supposed to be downloaded from the link?
Very cool game, story felt a bit abrupt at times but fit the theme and was a bit funny too!
Interesting game mechanic, I hated dropping my sword!
Had some GUI problems as well, but I like the idea!
Very fun and addicting!
Really like the engine and the gun. Its fun to just shoot up the terrain!
Quite fun, though tough to find the right move to repair one's katana!
Cool game mechanic, fun to try to beat oneself at.
I was a bit confused, after the first level, my guys wouldn't move...
Very fun game, though a bit laggy calculating trajectory on my machine.
Interesting game, fun idea!
Nice map editor, I made it to the top of the building!
Fun, but I didn't really get addicted to it.
Very cool idea, didn't see anyway online so I can't tell if it was working though.
Quite fun and satisfying, would love to play more levels.
Absorbing right type of bullet really cool idea, but hampered by the fact it takes so long to switch absorption modes. Also, it is super hard to absorb one type amongst all the firing that is going on, but anyways, I really liked the idea!
Fun game, but very difficult! Poor little egg!
Very tough, my clicker finger got super tired, could use an autofire perhaps.
Gets tough pretty quick, as your character doesn't have many powers, just a struggle to survive until the inevitable death. I was a bit unsure if when I pushed E made a difference...
Interesting game, combat seemed a bit too easy and I couldn't find a lot of depth in it, an intro to fighting might be useful.
Very fun, a bit difficult but still quite fun.
Very fun and very challenging. Controls are pretty slick in my opinion.
Doesn't work on web or Win8 for me either
Fun little game. I don't think I found all the boxes though. Slow motion always makes me happy!
I really enjoyed this game, quite addicting, I could wind up playing too much of this one!
Interesting game, but I wasn't quite sure that I saw the effects of the one disease mechanic...
Quite a funny little game, nice work getting something playable finished.
Very fun game, jumping is confusing at first (have to be moving a bit to be able to jump), but I figured it out!
And he got out of doing the dishes! Ridiculous! Fun but tough! I like the black top hat!
Very fun, but tough!
Yeah, it's a bit abstract, but you can interact with the other guys, it has to do with the circles that are around them.
I have uploaded a post-compo version addressing the movement issue, the link was in the description, here it is again if you want to try it: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/122720/PostCompBuild/Build.html
Really awesome game!
Cool game, I really like the jump animation!
Fun platform shooter, though it felt like only the first weapon was actually really useful.
