Neat gameplay idea, i on the other hand didnt like the control that much.
I found it extremely difficult to grab the rock i wanted. and then after that i couldnt work out why it breaks sometimes and not others, i thought it was force at first but then a soft hit breaks.
Enlighten me? :D
second kd5bjos concerns.
neat, plays quite nicely.
4 stars for Humor because the "Not finished" bit at the end made me laugh quite hard.
zorbathut, where's the source mate?
interesting concept. shame they dont go to completely hating eachother..
or do they? i just havnt completed it.
Instant crash, looks like i don't have a dependency installed that you used.
Care to post WHAT needs to be installed?
love this game, as many have said. love the idea too of firing PARTS of enemys back at eachother. :P
i wont vote as im on windows but you really have stabbed yourself in the foot by not having it on windows.
Haha, nice maze generation. Funny SFX for win/lose.
also: I just lost the game.
Got to level 4 before i started getting bored though! So it must have some fun in it :P. I wasnt sure what i was doing until about 2 minutes into the game though, i didnt notice the other health bar at the bottom. lol
I love it, my one main criticism is how easy it is. Once i found out you get your HP back after each wave, stretching out to maximum and flying over all the bases beat them 100% of the time. i got to wave 15 before i forced myself to with over 100k points.
It made it boring for me!
You need XNA 4.0 which is in the links a the top.
I dno about everyone else but i still couldn't pick the 4th evolution. The game itself was pretty fun to play. I think there was definately a need to spawn enemies instead of just sticking with what's on the starting map. There was a severe lack of Fighting and too much holding one button for 5 minutes. Overall i had fun to the point where the 4th evolution bug prevented me from going further.
It's okay everyone. Science won.
As requested we will keep working on this game. I have been working on a post-dare release which has taken into account a lot of your comments over the past couple of days. It will be put on this page as a "Post-Compo" link next to the XNA Download when ready.
Did you make sure you had XNA 4.0 installed on your PC? Windows? What version?
That's weird, that's the exact symptoms of not having XNA.. strange. What version did you confirm you had installed? You need 4.0 installed.
@Kmad it created the Content directory? That should already exist. Please make sure you extract everything from the zip file before trying to run. Let me know.
hi Rhaasken, Thanks for reminding me of this. Please try the post compo version, it was compiled for the Reach profile instead. I forgot to change the settings before publishing and then made changes so i feel dirty uploading the reach profile version as the Jam entry as it has after time limit changes.
Good looking and sounding game. Did feel like more effort was made with the graphics than the plot.
Love the background affects when scrolling.
Wont run on my Windows 3.11 D: Says Windows (all) so i must complain!!
No but seriously. It's fun but it didn't keep me in it for long, Need a score tally as a minimum if nothing else otherwise if i walk away for 5 minutes i might aswell have just begun there's nothing to show how many awesome kills i've made and how far through i've got. If i hadn't read the comments i wouldn't have known to keep going for something.
Hi silentspartan72, I see you didn't read the instructables in the entry description. Let me paraphrase for you:
"Grab yourself a thumper and a scan hammer and get thumping for Crystite (cy). use your scan hammer to find resources in the land and then call a thumper down on that spot to reap the rewards. "
I will be making a video tonight to highlight the first steps in the game. I've realised today that only people who've played firefall would fall easily into this game. haha.
Hi EatenAlive3, I done this last time and forgot to compile for Reach instead. Try again matey :)
A bit of an intro video and isntructables alongside time lapses.

DaanVanYperen, we were messing around with that at one point, but it was too buggy and didn't get put in. We thought it would be hilarious to punch an ahrana across the map though. lol Maybe it'll make it into a post compo version.
The landscape layout is procedurally generated yes, So you can walk to the theoretical data limit of a 32bit integer in terms of x coordinate.
Pretty addictive. I loved the game method.
I dis-approve of it forcing full screen for a tiny square in the middle of my screen. The music was groovy funky as hell, loved that. agree with the rest of the points made.
I think north korea may have removed your game and blown up your house in a peaceful move to peacify your life.
I suck at this a whole lot, but it's quite a bit of fun. My guys kept dying! I guess this is why I sucked at the Sims.
I enjoyed this, but a lot held me back from rating higher, Jonathan Whiting brings up a good point. the collision was annoying the HELL out of me. Sorry, hope you develop it further though.
I spent quite a while on this game. I think it would be better if you didn't have to hold left click, it just strains the finger more than anything else. Also agree with all other comments.
Same as errorage, After I worked out how it's matched it was pretty fun, I'd recommend putting some instructables in your submission description if you cant get it in your game.
V0ID, I got the same as Zhrack, Unfortunately it's literally as he says.
"Java Virtual Machine Launcher", "A Java Exception has occurred." and that's it.
I think this might be an x86/x64 thing... maybe.
