Battle Evolved by TobiasNL
GENRE: A fast paced arcade platform shooter.
SIZE: 8.7 MB
DESCRIPTION:
After an epic war between the intelligent 'evolved' dinosaurs and the human race the dinosaurs have taken control over planet Earth.
Yet there's one hero who travels back in time to wipe out the dinosaurs so they cannot exist in the present.
GAME IDEA: Every time you kill a dinosaur it'll evolve into a stronger and better evolved being. There are currently 5 evolutions. Get hit by anything and time will be added. Killing a creep will subtract time. Try to keep your time as low as possible!
PERSONAL HIGHSCORE:
Time: 7 seconds
Evolution years: 6000 [last wave, completed]
OTHER INFO:
This is the second time I'm participating in a Ludum Dare competition. I'm really proud of my results, and I think I totally deserve a good night rest (indeed, I did not sleep). Moreover I hope you'll enjoy the game, and don't forget to read the included ReadMe file for tips & controls! Good luck!
UPDATES:
I'm planning on making updates in the near future.

I had great fun playing it, but couldn't get past the flying alien, I kept running into his poison spit.
Other than that, THE best entry I've seen so far.
Future versions of BE will feature more stuff like weapon upgrades, tight ass evolutions, a resolution change option, and more. I might add custom controls too if more people complain (it's a pain to add at this point, you see). Once again, thanks for playing and rating!
IMO the time for hero to turn around is a bit slow, and the control keys made my fingers very tired (I try so hard to complete it--and i did).
But still excellent!
(adding mouse would help)
The film grain is a bit distracting, but the effects and audio are top-notch here for a Dare entry. It really feels like you're hitting them.
@Fanatiko: You can switch to windowed by pressing F4;) Forgot to put that in the read me file.
The 'after competition' version will feature custom controls, an easier strafing mechanic (character turns instantly) and some additional stuff like better effects and perks.
