Well, this is intense. Also, I think I need a new keybaord!!
Music is IN-YOUR-FACE!!
Nice!
Well now... this is fantastic.
Just read the comments, (I write mine before reading others).
I also believe this to be a game! You have to do things to make things happen, like in metal gear solid. Only this has fewer giant robots... (of course, it has many more, they're just over horizon, waiting for the perfect time to attack...!)
Anyway, rad *game* ;)
The upgrade idea was good. But the levels are so tight, I just got trapped in little gaps all the time, which really got old fast.
Like the turn anim, like elastomania! :)
You just can't go wrong with a simple shooter, and the pixel gfx are rad!
Sound needed!! But good! :D
This game is FANTASTIC.
Music... brilliant.
Graphics... brilliant.
Game... Amazilliant!!
Great music!!
Spent a lot of time waiting for platforms, so maybe you could trigger them when the player gets near. And sometimes the toasters were right on me, perhaps the camera could point further in front of the player?
Good effort though!
Can't say I really understood completely what I was doing, but the gfx and movement controls are great, (played on PC).
I like the rotatable button to call the waiter. Cool :)
I liked the SUPER HARDCORE platforming, but got stuck on the second level :(
Good though!
Ummmmm... the best bit was when it didn't want to shutdown, and when I ran task manager it made a really weird sound.
I guess it's not entirely finished... :)
I thought that was it. Literally nothing happened except numbers counting and an upgrade button. But there was nothing except water...???!?
Hey, thanks. Pooping was one of my mandatory features from before I knew the theme. I was going to implement a snake enemy that attacks from behind, and you'd have to destroy it with the poops. Got too tired!
To kill the big things, (or Queens), you just have to go all out! It was much easier in earlier builds, but not so much fun :)
You've got to complete it for the ending, it's super rotatey! :)
Thanks for playing!
Gentlemen/gentleladies, your words have made my day. High five! I shall play your videogames if my systems support such activities!! Double high five!!
tastive - pooping is the health meter. When you get hit, you poop. 5 poops in one level and you're dead! You are free to induce poop yourself, that doesn't affect your health!
Cheers Cake&Code :)
@photex You were VAMflaxed...!! ;)
@Zed Yeah, it needs enemies that creep up from behind, so you can't sit in one spot. The poop could then kill them. Also, if enemy bullets weren't killed by your bullets, that would make it more interesting.
Yeah, true that. Maybe the world is not ready yet for the five-poops-and-you're-dead system... :)
Thanks for playing!
This is a scary, nasty game! In a good way!
First go I tried avoiding everything as I couldn't find an attack. I got to the end and had an army of sick, slimy, spiky things chasing after me!!
Read the above text and thought, oh okay, you're supposed to die. Played the second time died... and nothing happened!
Good though, the creepiness is off the scale!
YES! YES! YES!
After a slow start this got HARD-CORE...!!! Loved it!!
Blowing up a ship has the best sound!
Brilliant!
THAT. MUSIC!
Cool idea! Like the janitor too.
I'm new to LD, but this is the kind of thing I like. I can't really explain it, but while I meditated it looked like sheep were mating with wolves, and when I went over to a wolf it was having a pee...
Would have liked some sound, but, nice effort, and proper bonkers... :)
I liked the slower absorbing of a block that's just a bit smaller than you, and I loved the building pace. You really fly around just before the boss turns up!
Nice one!
My poor brain...
Great idea, well executed! Literally in my case, balls were dying left, right, and centre!! :)
I like!
Awesome!!! Music was amazing! Feeling of craft was nice and heavy. Shooting seemed to go with the beat...
Brilliant!! :)
Controls are a bit abrupt, but got the job done. Music was manic... Kinda nuts... Got killed by a thing that spawned on me, uncool... I like!
This is excellent!
The jump on the 2nd cat is lovely, with the tilt on the way up and down.
I wondered why I couldn't eat the first mouse I saw, but that changed on the next level.
Music is fantastic!
And it all fits into the theme. You have an environment, a drive to create new life and a system for natural selection...!
Ending, sad, but not!
All in all... job done...!! Great work!
I don't quite understand it, but the spinning and rocket launching was cool. Scoring was totally beyond me...!
Love it!
Bit buggy, (I died and didn't respawn on my first go), but still super rad!
Nice!
It worked for me. Although the distribution could have been clearer. Had to mooch into the bin folder, but no problem.
As for the game, I think it could do with a Sim-City style "speed up time", as it was difficult to see what effect my actions had!
Still, this game is evolution to the core! Theme win!! :)
Brilliant! So much stuff to shoot!
There was a lot to read before playing, but once you're in... it's ace! :)
I got the sad ending, which was LOLz :)
Nice one!
Wicked man. At first I was like, really...? But then as the game... evolved... Nice one!
No music or sfx? Never mind, still way cool!
I like!
Controls are a bit squiffy. Up-down seem to override left-right. But no big problem.
Love the gfx. Nice one!
Wicked music!!
I played, I jumped, I got to the end, I had fun! That's a game right there!!
High five!!!
Like it!
Controls were great. I'd consider putting the UI outside of the play area, as it's a bit in the way where it is.
But the punching and rock throwing is great :)
I played for a while and the Evolute never seemed to kick in, and I wasn't dying,so I called it a day.
Nice effort man!
Awesome game!
It's all going fine... and then, you mis-press... "uh-oh...!!" and it all goes wrong pretty quickly! :)
Could have done with some music, but otherwise it was all sorts of ace!
Awesome!!
Game was great, music was fantastic, cut-scenes, (in a 48hr game!!!), were way funny!! :)
Top job!!
I liked the way the green doolies in the first stage would change into red ones. But it kinda went on too long.
The snake was hilarious!
The third stage was cool. Like a stage from warioware :)
Nice!
Brilliant! Funny, controls were ace, music fantastic.
The jumpy round was the perfect blend of INFURIATING! Completed it though.
Nice one...!! :D :D :D
Main sprite is great!
Didn't quite get it, I think. Is it possible to complete the levels without dying...?
Nice game anyway! :)
Controls are a bit... mechnical, could do with some inertia. And the camera starts eating itself after a while... But, combined with the music, it all melts into a disconcerting journey through space.
By the time I transformed I had seen enough, as it did feel like I had traveled half way across the universe myself.
Nice one!
I love the eyeballs, and the om-nom-nom sfx. The radar is cool too. I like that you get to eat the dudes who you were running away from in the beginning... revenge...!! :D
I died really early on the first time, which was kind of annoying. But I played some more, made it to level 10 and genuinely laughed out loud! :)
Controls are a bit abrupt! Probably needs a little inertia, and the double jump sometimes stops and you just levitate across the air - which is cool, but not what was supposed to happen I guess! :)
The tank is FIERCE!! Full on stream of hot lead! I like!
I would have made the choice box work with the keys. Didn't seem right to have to use the mouse at that point.
Was expecting a second level. I mean, you did have a whole 48 hours... ;)
I made it to the end though, so that's a good sign!
Thanks everyone!
@angelk - any Qs, email VAMflax@VAMflax.com
I figured it out! :D
I like the control scheme a lot. Would play a fully realised non-one-missile version! :D
Nice work!
Fun once you get going. I'd say it's a bit narrow and the controls are a touch sensitive. Really easy to skate straight off the level.
I liked the art. The UI needed an unavailable state for the choices though as I never knew which ones were available.
Really cool. I got stuck, but that's just me!
Nice work! :D
Wow, cool! :D
Cool!
Although, audio wasn't working for me..?
Fun game! I like the music. And I liked the controls! The enemy movement is amusing, they always seem to go to the worst place and you always seem to be narrowly avoiding them.
It did take me a wile to realise you had to click the screen to play! I would have made the play button work by pressing SPACE too!
Nice!
Thanks! Yes, planning to later this week. Kinda difficult to find the time after spending all weekend jamming :D
