Definitely needs more of a concrete goal and a way to tell you're moving without enemies on screen, but an awesome concept. Procedurally generated baddies with various attacks based on your shape would make this an addictive-repeat play! Nice concept
Some seriously trippy shit here. I bred my jellyfish with its dead compatriot to produce an army of monsters. I don't know what happened, but I enjoyed it.
If there were something to discover here -- something simple but deep -- this would be lauded alongside the best. As is, I had fun, but this isn't a game. (Cue long discussion about what is and is not a game..) Still, thank you for submitting this. Lovely.
Very fun, but no theme connection (as you said). Some of those spike pits can be navigated because you stand on corners safely! It's the only way I got through.
Fun game! Needs some audio for sure, though. I'm glad you put a safeguard in there to prevent having 0 speed, but getting -spd over and over was pretty frustrating. Maybe give the player one of two choices when a stat evolve happens?
Hahahaha. Thanks for your comment, VAM - fixed the critical bug, so please come back if you get a chance! Hilarious game. What's with the pooping? I could use a health meter. :)
I succeeded in filling my screen with cool circles a few times. Not sure where this project was going to end up, but the concept that got you as far as it did is cool.
Fun game! Evolution itself seems a little buggy or at least non-intuitive, but I found myself playing it more than I intended to. Well done, cool take on the theme :)
LD24 — Evolution (34)
Evolutionator! by CataclysmicKnight 2012-09-13T16:31:00
Really needs to be WASD to move and arrows to shoot, but still very fun.
Generation X by jobe 2012-09-13T16:30:00
Once I figured out what was going on, the only surprise was that I seemed to be dying slowly even if I didn't touch anything. Other than that, rad.
An Astronomical Affray by reheated 2012-09-13T16:26:00
Got to level 14! Fun gameplay, enthralling tunes. I'd have to play it a few more times to see the evolution happening, but I liked it.
TOWER OFFENSE by Graf_Grun 2012-09-12T02:19:00
Very cool concept. Definitely needs a fast way to move through the opening text, though!
Untitled Tower Game by chuchino 2012-09-12T02:11:00
Very cool gameplay.
You Made them! by garygreen 2012-09-06T22:45:00
Neat control screen. Not sure I get the point -- seems like hitting the stone barriers ought to be somehow punishing.
Replicate by Alexbrainbox 2012-09-02T21:04:00
Neat idea. Fun! Also, you don't lose until your third miss hits its receptor, so you can just mash all the buttons and score 40 or so. :p

Biotic by aeonofdiscord 2012-08-29T14:29:00
Gorgeous. Needs some atmospheric audio and maybe a goal. :)
The Singularity is Here! by josefnpat 2012-08-29T02:36:00
Characters: Great. Gameplay: Fun! Balanced. Finished it with 1/40 HP on Charlie. Just wish I'd gotten to hear more from Tuxxer. :(
Clever Blocks by Cthulhu 2012-08-29T02:29:00
Loved the tunes. Good job!
The Debate by KevinWorkman 2012-08-29T02:24:00
Just like the real debates. Eventually, the less dexterous player flubs it and loses. :P
Involucion by elxris 2012-08-29T02:23:00
Doesn't seem to work for me. :( Win32, vista.
Inu No Ongaeshi by Shmarah 2012-08-29T02:21:00
Bravo! The Crane Wife influence is evident, but you've taken story more seriously so far than anyone else I've seen. Compelling to finish.
Save The Memepool by whilefun 2012-08-29T02:09:00
Nice work! I dig the art.
Deal with It by midgard 2012-08-29T01:58:00
Hahaha. Pretty funny. Nice game! Good challenge level.
Cubevo by NostraDamon 2012-08-29T01:55:00
Very cool. Needs checkpoints badly, though; it sucks not being able to find more gems once you're at 20-30%.
Mutasite 1991: Attack of the Mutagenic Parasites by Cake_Catastrophe 2012-08-29T01:36:00

[0-Evo] by Krobill 2012-08-29T00:20:00
Really neat. Great visuals, sfx, and use of the theme!
If you have a sec, come check us out again. We fixed the critical bug and ikaruga fans such as yourself are the folks we made this for!
MatterSplatter by VAMflax 2012-08-29T00:16:00

Death Death Evolution by Adhesion 2012-08-28T23:24:00
Great work, guys. Best game I've seen yet!
Living Worlds by ghRibacki 2012-08-28T23:15:00
Cool concept. Seconded about the coolness of using CGoL.
Monkey Trial Turnaround by SusanTheCat 2012-08-28T23:11:00
Cute! Really glad someone chose this angle -- my buddy and I considered it and decided it was too cumbersome for us to take on. Nice job.
Goo by Cipher 2012-08-28T23:02:00
Very fun! Great gameplay. Please make the camera focus on the player more so you can see where you're going!
Ancient Ruins by CappaGames 2012-08-28T22:49:00
Great game! Would be awesome with a little polish and audio. Cheers! Best game I've reviewed so far!
Space Mayham by DevWouter 2012-08-28T22:38:00
Incredibly repetitive! But the best music I've heard so far -- which is also pretty repetitive. Decent, just needs some gameplay variation.
GeometryEvo by dvdking 2012-08-28T22:34:00
Great use of theme!
Rings of Evolution by gbellgames 2012-08-28T22:29:00
Trim everything but the bosses and work on the audio and your game would be awesome. Nice work for 3 days :)
Boxy the Boxcat in Evolution Escapades by matthias_zarzecki 2012-08-28T22:06:00
Hahaha. Hilariously off-beat. One laser-mew! sound short of five stars.
