LD24 — Evolution

Living Tales by tinyworlds 2012-08-28T21:34:00

Really nice entry, would have to agree with others though that it felt a bit squashed... It also ran quite slowly for me, though I think that's because my internet connection is pretty poor!

TOWER of Evolution by SiENcE 2012-08-27T15:14:00

Awesome! It's pretty fun..

Cubevo by NostraDamon 2012-08-28T22:05:00

Really cool, but sooo frustrating when you just need 4 more gems to get the key to unlock the final chest!

EVILUTION by GothFraex 2012-08-27T11:09:00

This actually made me frantic trying to find the exit while avoiding the creepy enemies and it was good fun, but one I found the exit, I had no idead what to do... is that it?

Natural Selection by Nickolai51 2012-08-27T11:13:00

Thanks! Yeah, that's the major pitfall of this really... and something I need to work on. It's because I'm using a horrible hack for the mouse movement (which is why I couldn't port it), but it works best with a mouse and windows 7.
Really, thanks for the comments though!

Natural Selection by Nickolai51 2012-08-27T11:45:00

Having said that, checked the rules and porting can be done after the 48 hours, so now it's ported and will hopefully work fine on most systems!

Natural Selection by Nickolai51 2012-08-28T12:11:00

Haha, thanks guys! Hmm.. seems like I'll have to work on mouse controls next time :P though BMacIntosh's idea seems pretty good. I think the problem arose from me testing with quite a sensitive mouse...

Natural Selection by Nickolai51 2012-08-29T08:43:00

Wow! Thanks! :D
Yes, those things all bugged me too... In order to speed up the whole dev process I had used a really simple 3D renderer rather than openGL, whose z-sorting didn't really work and with a horrible lighting effect...

Natural Selection by Nickolai51 2012-08-31T18:32:00

Thank you :)
Your mouse is fine, others have said the sensitivity is too low...
And yes, I might add to this and improve it later, cheers for the ideas!

Growth by Rellikiox 2012-08-28T13:56:00

Really tough, but as someone else said before, quite repetetive! Good Work though!

uni.bb by IndigoWolf 2012-08-27T13:23:00

Sorry, looked interesting, but couldn't open the jar even from cmd...

A Castle in the Desert by FoxFiesta 2012-08-28T11:04:00

Really Awesome Game! Possibly my favorite so far... I can clearly see you wanted the 'Castles' theme though xD

Primeval Labs by BMacIntosh 2012-08-27T17:57:00

Really cool! Really difficult too... The graphics were cool, but I felt that the audio was a bit lacking. Good Job!

3 Apples High by Dayko 2012-08-28T10:38:00

Awesome! Did get quite boring after a while... Good Work though!

Tiktaalik's Tale by _AM_ 2012-08-27T14:57:00

That was excellent! So moving! A tour-de-force of game development!
Seriously though, bad luck on the theme, other excuses, ect..

Experiment X by XmmmX 2012-08-28T13:48:00

Nice game, really quite fun! But as others have said, waiting for health to come back is slow...

Ulovetion by Colapsydo 2012-08-28T10:48:00

Cool game, I found it quite difficult when they started moving.. -_-

Gems of the Evolving Land by RawBits 2012-08-29T09:12:00

Nice Game! Awesome work for 48 hours! Noticed how you used Processing too... but also how much more organised your code is -_-

Complexitivity by Accidental Rebel 2012-08-27T15:47:00

Really nice pace and graphics! Couldn't see the theme at all... and it's just a little too easy... awesome work though!

Darwin Skirmish by panzermancer 2012-08-27T11:02:00

This is awesome... it's really great fun though I wouldn't normally play games like this. I even found it quite difficult (so I just held down space...)
Great game, well done

Land Evo by flashkick 2012-08-28T19:19:00

Haha, this is really fun! It feels really busy - which I like and it's simple! Good Job!

Sprout by cadin 2012-08-28T21:29:00

Aweosme work! Really pretty and quite difficult too!

Dawn by SteelRaven7 2012-08-27T13:15:00

That was awesome! Good work!

Evoland by ncannasse 2012-08-28T12:39:00

Awesome game! Really funny and brilliant art! I'd have to agree with others though, text went away a bit too quickly..
