I thought this was fun, the simple controls and graphics were very effective. It would have been nice to have an ending rather than simply returning to the title screen, especially since you're essentially just circling to fill up the bar once you've worked out how to win.
I really liked the fog of war, but as others have noted I found the stickiness of the walls a little awkward.
This is a really cool idea.
The intro text changed faster than I can read, but the voice acting more than made up for it.
Hmmm, that's disappointing :(
Which version are you using and which OS are you running?
Really cool, although the controls were a little frustrating.
I seemed to be having some sound problems, with the audio either not playing at all or playing and then stopping, but the music was nice when it was working.
If you extract the Application Files folder then remove the .deploy extension from every file within it, you can run Quick.exe directly without installing the game, assuming you've already installed XNA.
The platforming is in places quite well designed but the controls are a little "floaty", and collision with vertical walls while jumping seems incorrect at times.
This was charming and fun at first, but got a little monotonous when I had to travel a long way away from the base. Being able to buy upgrades (e.g. a bigger fuel tank, a better scanner) might have helped.
Overall though I enjoyed it and played for far longer than I expected.
Nice idea, though it's a pretty simple game. I liked the progression through different ages - would have been good if the game got harder in each one.
Really like the way this looks, the backgrounds and characters are lovely. The whole "throwing spears down a tunnel" thing got a bit frustrating but this seems like a nice little game overall :)
Thanks for all the comments! Personally, I wasn't very happy with the final controls or camera. During the compo they varied from even-more-frustrating to great in 90% of situations but completely broken in the other 10%. I actually wanted your character to feel a little inadequate at the start so the species becomes a little more controllable as you evolve, but the problem with hills breaks that.
@Raohmaru You win and the game ends, when you become the "perfect species" - by reaching a certain value in all your stats. Most of your potential mates at that point are going to have the possibility of decreasing your abilities at that stage though.
@hgcummings The yellow cubes give you points, red give health and blue gives more time. The idea was that the cubes don't regenerate so they give you a boost in the start, to prevent the game getting easier rather than harder as you become more powerful. They were a bit last minute though :O
Kittens :D
Really nice game with a lot to it. Eventually felt a bit slow paced and lacking variety but I loved the little touches like all the stuff you collect decking out the kitten's den.
Oh my gosh! I never thought a game about serial killers could be so lovely. Everything about this is great, especially the little murder animations.
I like the idea, and the story and writing were great. It was fun to see the effects of the sins, but I don't think they lent themselves to particularly exciting or puzzling gameplay.
Very charming and really original :) Looks and sounds great too.
Super cute, love the writing and application of the theme. Waiting for the text to type out is a little frustrating though.
Simple, but I like the writing :)
I didn't really get this at first but after playing another few times I really like it. Very original idea.
Great graphics, really suits the concept.
Nice game once I got the rules, but could do with clearer instructions and it isn't really on theme.
Placing clowns was a bit awkward but I like the painted style and the music.
Really nice touches, love the graphics.
I wasn't always entirely sure what I was doing, but I think I really liked this. There was a lot more to it than I first expected.
The only audio I had was a constant snoring noise though.
Nice concept, fitting art style. Simple gameplay but nicely executed.
Hahaha, very cool. Unfortunately I ended up with a massively negative score but I like the game, especially the little touches like the mushrooms.
Loved the style, though I wasn't really sure what I was doing. The ambient audio is really effective.
