Great game! Nice color scheme, great to be able to procreate, and wonderful sprites. The game is quite perfect as it is, maybe the controls could be a bit smoother. I also played other games on your webpage, nice stuff you are making :).
Really funny ideas, e.g. the knee protection after some kicks or the voice acting, also funny way to deal with the theme.
Problems: Once I lost a life I can not move anymore, need to play in full screen to see everything.
Very nice idea, quite unique. Your game has lots of potential :D
Pretty good. I don't quite understand what is the goal of the game.
I like the concept. The visual style is super nice and I loved the music. I kept on playing because I expected something to happen in the end, but the mechanics are too simple and there is no real challenge. Maybe it is ok for a Zen game.
I cannot run it. The application stops working as soon as I press Space :(
I like the graphics and the concept, but I cannot quite grasp the mechanics. I can only meditate and kill things?
The genetic manipulation is really a great mechanic. I also like the pokemon style, it's a little bit nostalgic.
It will be nicer if it has a tutorial and maybe a book to save the DNA combinations. It was difficult to figure out most of the stuff in the beginning.
There was a bug with the last boss, it just flew away and all of a sudden I won LOL
The more you play it, the difficult it gets, that's for sure!
I had a bug: the ball became trapped within one of my pads and I got all the points I needed for the next evolution for free...
Nice SHMUP. In the beginning I didn't understand if I had to water the plant or kill it XD
The concept is pretty good, but the mechanics and the goals are difficult to grasp and get familiar with.
Sometimes it feels like the game is a bit slow, it takes ages to collect enough life essence to do something.
Liked the idea, but could not really see the upgrades changing game play.
Problems removing game files. Bug with losing health below zero (spaceship)
In my opinion you should reduce acceleration, at least in the beginning (make it a trait maybe). I also can not close the program without task manager. Played it a second time after reading the comments, and started to like it! A couple of nice ideas!
Very creepy atmosphere... Maybe the theme could have been explored a little better though.
Like the concept, although I find the logic somewhat confusing. Maybe the execution of some of the mechanics could be made simpler and more intuitive?
Great presentation! Fun, intuitive gameplay. Nice difficulty curve. Well done!
Nice game, fun to play. As pointed out, hosting your Webgame on kongregate or dropbox would be nice.
Enjoyed the plot a lot! Also think the top down perspective is well done, especially the shower and the fridge.
Very enjoyable experience. I like the cat animations!
Very nice idea!
I think there are some issues with physics/lags even with Unity/Windows.
Really nice ideas and polish.
Beautiful idea. Without reading the comments I would not have understood what to do. Even after reading the comments I think its difficult. In real life I would feel much more, and I would be aware which direction my body is oriented. Maybe show body orientation. Making the controls smoother and better might also help. Hope you continue on this.
Love the music! It fits the game quite well.
So thats how Darwin came up with his theory! Great graphics, fun take on the theme. As others mentioned the controls are not perfect + its difficult on a QWERTZ keyboard. Thanks for reviewing our game!
I watched for a while, and there is some crazy stuff happening. You could give the player evolution points every now and then he could spend on adjusting his tribe in one direction. Or be a god and have a natural catastrophe every now and then.
Nice idea. If you continue on that it might be cool if the pipe is bigger (so its easier to see the shapes) and if the user can control the speed of the generation process (e.g. change the slope to speed up parts of the creation process)
Nice game, nice graphics. Unfortunatly a bit annoying to play on QWERTZ keyboards.
Great visuals / art style, fun writing.
Sorry to hear about the brush issue. Some remarks in case you keep on working on the game: The fence is hard to see. During the fighting sequence (in between bat attacks)I got some strange game overs and could not really progress far into the game (Webplayer, tried re-loading, did not help).
