Who cares evolution? by bukt

[raw]
made by bukt for LD24 (JAM)
This is the game about very bored god. He was found a planet and you should help him to refute Darvin's evolution theory.

You may ask: "How?". Let's take a look. The game have three epoch. Only three beautiful species live on planet in the first one, Paleozoic. But only one can survive. Survived specie will mutate before next epoch will begin, and spawn three new species.

Species are fighting with each other every second. And one day, evolution let one of them live. But it's not funny at all. Too much options are depends on evolution choice.

I'm proudly introduce: God's shoe! This perfect weapon gives you the great powers: the powers of mercy and destroy. Just kill ugly monsters and let evolution to take a break.

This perfect game has two secret endings, amazing story, full of tragedy and fun, great art and awesome music.
(By the way, art is really great. I'll give respect to my designer, someday).

If you decide to play this game again - i promise, you will found a lot of impressions.

The gameplay itself is a little simple, but the look and polish of it are great! That's a ton of polished art to crank out in one weekend.

Awesome :) Great story, graphics (enemy design reminded me of patapon). Gamplay is simple but not frustrating.

The audio quality wasn't great, but the game was fun. It was a little hard to tell which species was which, but it all worked out.

Cooooooooooool!
It was fun to try to discover every species, even if they looks too much alike according to me.
Small bug maybe : I felt the top bar was in inadequation with the species' colors. For exemple, when I tried to keep the blue specie alive, the red color on the topbar grew. Weird, but not a big problem though.

Sweet game! Despite the spelling mistakes it was witty and fun. The indicator worked well enough to let me know how many critters to smoosh and the evolution worked beautifully. Nicely done!

Fun! Although the controls could be tighter, and - God's shoe is awfully small :)
