Interesting- it's fun to spawn a population and watch them drift into a few different species. I enjoyed reading the description of the stats in particular, though, since our projects were so similar it was super interesting reading how you approached it.
Cool game, but I accidentally lasered a scientist and made the second level unwinnable. Maybe killing a scientist could spawn another scientist in a random building?
Beautiful assets, though there's not a lot of meat to it.
I was briefly the second best dinosaur. I'm going to have to console myself with that fact.
Fun little tower defense kind of thing. First time I played I ended up making like 300 archers, which seemed super effective but slowed the game to a crawl. After that I tried making military units and snipers which seemed a lot less effective. Balance might not be great.
Could not run: "The Device is not Ready"
Interesting, reminds me of Terraria. Hard to control though.
Really cool strange experience. Reminds me of Space Funeral for obvious reasons.
Really neat, I like the feel of it and the reflecting bullets, but dodging enemies and attacks is very difficult.
Kind of fun. I found myself ignoring the whole weakness chain in favor of just upgrading one weapon to max and clearing the hallways with it, and played about 10 minutes that way wrecking face before I got bored.
Lots of screen flicker when I move around, though. You should look into double buffering.
There unfortunately isn't much inter-species interaction since they're all herbivores. They will run away from each other when they see each other and stick closely to others of the same species, but that's it. I've updated the game's description with a run-down of what all the stats do and a few notes on the AI (in the post-mortem), so it should be clearer from now on.
I really enjoyed this one. Though it's kind of frustrating not knowing exactly what the buildings do at first, it's fun deciphering it via trial and error. The music is super relaxing too, and it looks nice. Excellent.
Oh, also, minor nitpicks in that you can't see what the occupancy status of a house is and once you have a winning set up you still have to wait a long time to win (assuming winning is even set up, I'm not going to wait it out). Also apparently my buildings get randomly destroyed with no explanation sometimes.
It would have been nice if once I had more money than I owed I could pay the whole thing off. I had 172000/171000 by year 31 and I wasn't going to wait the extra 69 years to see the ending XD
