Its a nice little game to play (: with a cool idea for evolution.
yes ik i couldnt find a website to host my jar on ;L if you download it and double click it though it runs.
okay sorry i have changed it is that better ?
Well i have a regular shape generator which takes parameters which randomize for the first 3 "level" and then base it upon which made it last longer. However my algorithm for combining shapes is awful ... so thanks for the ideas and ill try update it so the levels are seamless.
Thank you.
ahaha cool :D
This game is awesome and i like the creative art style and the evolutionn system was intuitive and got harder as it went on which made it really fun.
I thought this was good especially the atmosphere although obviously the graphics werent very good and there was little gameplay but all you would need is more time. The atmosphere created by the music is soothing and the idea is creative.
ahah its very funny but not the longest of games.
Extremely awesome graphics and gameplay but the noises were a bit irratating but everything else was well made.
This is a really fun game .
I liked the Display size it was different from most other games which gave it an orignal look. The graphics were good although there was not much sound which could have improved it further. It was also really hard and it didnt look like there was much way to improve.
The music is really engaging along with the simplistic graphics makes you focus on the really simple gameplay but rewarding. This game is really good ;D
I think the atmosphere you created with this game, the music and the artwork really made it fun to play and the level is well-designed to have little places that you can get caught in. However the jump of the wolf could be improved imo.
this game is perfect ;O the ending is like the icing on the cake ;O wow welldone this is awesome, only thing is sometimes you get stuck when slimes spawn when your running back. But wow that had such an impact. I killed the slimes the first time but then i died when i got the cure. Then the second and third time i just ran through because i couldnt be bothered to kill them. But the ending made me think why should i be bothered to kill innocent thingss. Very thoughful and intresting game.
hahahaha i control the world mwhaha all 940,000 troops ;D. So i got through the whole game and no end screen -_- jks this game i found pretty addictive cause i wanted to see if i could click every country ;o your map was a bit too indepth :p. Yeh it was pretty good and it would have been nice if there was a bit more interactivity but it is what is ;D.
I ran it on windows. I though the sound design was engaging and added a nice touch. What i liked most about this was it was simple but fun. The particle system also was neat.
I thought this game was really fun and enjoyable and had enough content to keep you coming back after each 5 minutes because you wanted to see what each thing was. The sounds and particle system were cool aswell. However you could have improved the artwork.
The game itself was very inventive and cool. However i think you could have had separate controls for shooting and capturing because i found myself getting annoyed at it not shooting because it though i wanted to capture them.
Im sorry my mac has security settings against playing things downloaded off the internet so what error did you get ? Could you go to terminal and try and find the erro there. also are you sure you have the latest java installed ?
sorry i ment those to be like me trying to help but thanks for trying to play my game.
my java is compiling for 1.7, if you can update you may be able to play it now. however ill try and make a 1.6 version for mac users.
o sorry you can scroll to the left and right using "a" and "d" keys.
tyvm it seems mac doesnt support opengl 3.0 which i probably should have been aware of sorry for being misleading i will take it down. Thanks for the feedback though. I would turn that off but its my dads mac ;)
The hero flees to the right off the screen because it is a scroller and you need to press d to move right (a to move left) and the creatures make him jump (and lose health) but it probably isnt obvious enough thanks for the feedback btw.
ahaha nice well thanks for trying it :D
ahahaha yes running animations could be improved ;). ahh no he lk jumps whenever he hits one but i can seee how thats a bit stupid and he should probably go red or something.
ahahaha nice ;). thanks. yeh i made it close when losing but i should have made it restart jeez i made some stupid mistakes -_-. Thanks.
he does do damage and yes it is really unclear he kind of jumps and you have to put when kind of where he lands. Im sorry it isnt very intuitive.
okay what graphics card do you have it probably doesnt support opengl 3.X. There is nothing i can do to fix that as i would have to rework my whole game which i dont think is allowed or implement a library(i dont really know tbh) ill mention it in the description sorry.
AWESOME!!
That was quite cool and i especially liked the graphics which were quite fitting and the gameplay was fairly enjoyable. But what annoyed me was jumping and then immeadiatly dying and as a gamee this was quite frustrating that you inevitably will die
Yeh this game could have used a bit more polishing. But you probably have your own reason for it. However what was good about this game is that you took an orignal spin on the theme and went with it and the mechanic works and is fully implemented and if you had nice artwork and sounds ect. i could see this as a really good game.
What i loved about the game is how the art style and music made it feel like it was a lovely world which made you feel very evil when you ate all the faries ;). However the collision detection seemed like it needed some work.
Sorry i take that back i like the collision detection and how it feels rubbery like you can bounce from walls and stuff (:
I liked this game it was quite intresting, the sound and graphics were cool. Its just there wasnt really much interactivity you just pressed 3 buttons and it was almost too simple in my opinion.
It was fairly fun although i think because you had such a long introduction the graphics looked rushed. But when you finally got to the game. The cool slides from one place to another made it look quite cool. But you did a great job at setting up a gameshow. Although there could have been more sounds. But it was pretty fun.
Wow that is really cool gameplay :o very different. I liked the song aswell even when the hero dodged your attacks everytime it was still fun and rewarding.
That is kind of intresting however tbh i didnt really feel like i was making a difference and like whatever happens would happen. However i thought it was quite cool to watch it play out and quite cool. I didnt really like the artwork.
I liked the experimental nature of this(atleast thats how it felt to me). The graphics were reallly cool and made it feel like you were actually a horrible corrupt bug ;P although the ending could have been improved it was pretty fun.
wow what a cool game and the noises were fitting and the artstyle was relaxing. It also had a definate difficulty curve because by wave 6 i found it so hard and kept dying ;O. My only critism is that there could have been more gameplay elements in the further waves other than bigger dinasours.
Cool game and very innovative idea, the sound effects were good the ai made it quite enjoyable figuring out how to do it. The only place to improve on maybe is the objective and the progression of the game. But as a game it was fun and awesomee ;D
I think this game is very intresting and sounds fun to play. I hope you dont mind if i rate this based on the rules and images. It fits quite nicely to the theme. Gooluck making it a computer game but it looks intresting now.
I thought this was really intresting and the graphics made it feel like a little toy that you would just watch in your room when you were little. I though it was fun and different from other games. However it didnt really lead on to anything it kind of felt like after 10 secounds id done everything so i just kind of watched the little people running around which is still pretty cool and makes a nice mood but i think something else could have made it even better.
this game is awesome:D the audio and graphics are amazing and the gameplay is really fun. My only critism is that there is no way to place the blocks back if you decide you dont want them there but it doesnt matter really. It was genrally really fun ;D
error when i tried to play it was : Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\harry\AppData\Local\Temp\7zO7AAA.tmp\Application Files\LD25_Villain_1_0_0_2\LD25_Villain.exe.manifest'.

but ill re-download and try again
I started this game and did the first two levels and though meh im going to leave because it felt repetitive. But the atmosphere you created in this game was really relaxing and soothing that it sucked me in and i though this was a really awesome game. The music and animation was just amazing. And the amount of levels was nice although at times the movement felt choppy but it was fine. Also i noticed a few random partly transparent pixels around the edge of the main characters animation
This is really cool. I thought the graphics fitted really well with the theme and i especially liked the static background thing and how it changed color when you got to the next level. The thing at the console said it couldnt load sounds? The sound is played through my samsung tv if that helps?
I love this game, the graphics are really cool and it really fits the theme while still looking well designed. The puzzles are really engaging and it makes you want to figure out why your going wrong and just keep doing it while never feeling frustrated its just really fun :D
sorry what has happenned is your computer doesnt support opengl 3+ and i forgot to fully implement the context attribute class and im trying my hardest now to get it to work but school till 9pm on mons and tues and thus
I have now updated to fix all of these bugs. I have tested on 2 laptops(windows), an imac and a macbook pro and they all work. Howeverif anyone has a linux box (which has the same update as the rest(ofcourse different natives) so should also work) it would be great if you could tell me if it works. If it doesn't work for you could you please tell me your graphics card because this update makes it cross platform.
Thankyou, yeh it would be really cool to add those things. i did have health but didnt have time to add things like the enemies fighting back :')
dragonee i updated it to fix your glitch by taking out that code, the comma in it seems very weird but it should work now. Im sorry KEFIR and Alex Camilleri but could you give me any details about the error you have got because i cant seem to reproduce it crashing or freezing.
It was quite fun for a while and the graphics were quite nice however the audio for the enmies dying became irratating because they didnt reward you enough so you could mow through them for ages and only have like 100 dollars so it felt kind of unfair. But overall it was quite fun(:
ahaha that was very funny and cool. Really enjoyed this and it was quite fun and the lol u died bit was a nice touch ;D.
the beginning was so cool and i was like oo an intresting story maybe and then the music started and it just became fast paced and it was just so fun to play although i rage quit on like the 4th or 5th level with the octapus because i died so much ;p nice difficulty curve though
This was pretty fun although after trying(and failing) to save my clones from dying and trying to figure out how to have an effect i just waited till they all died to see what would happen. It was really cool and the whole relations tab and everything shows there was obviously something there that wasnt quite implemented and it sounds like it would be really cool if it had the relationships between the crew memebers and if you could fix stuff ect.
really addictive and fun it was really enjoyable and had the nice contracting and expanding thing which really made it a whole lot more enjoyable because you were so busy with that and not dodging the thing ;). really nice game. Although i feel the jump could have been improved.
This was so cool i really liked how you used music to portray what was going on it was really innovative and the sound was amazing. I also really liked the menu which came in really slick and was orignal and wacky and the graphics really suited this game. I can't flaw this game. However i lack the skill to do the patriotica one
