Can't believe the effort you put into this, but it really payed off.

It's still a lot of fun though, and I got up to the acid-spitting bat dinosaur boss.

Outstanding! Including the training area was a very nice touch since the controls are a little odd.

The evolution aspect seems tacked on. Seems like it is going for a gamepad-centric control setup, but parts of the UI require the use of a mouse. Would have worked better with a WASD\/mouse control setup, IMO, and\/or being more gamepad-friendly."}],"images":["ld24\/10964-7e5a5bb295c5ce1a2a651a356b3da326.jpg","ld24\/10964-9a9423072c71eee3120fd9cae6ce39f2.jpg","ld24\/10964-1eb18afdda30c02d003fc7f74694a4dd.jpg","ld24\/10964-d0588fd433ab85e45c7aad25303e48bc.jpg","ld24\/10964-4bf9ae6de3406f3dbaa0ba7183479a45.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.box.com\/s\/37a0d4721d41c3aa583b","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.box.com\/s\/fd52fabd37c5ac1ffb80","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"28706","g_author":"10964","g_event":"LD24","g_eventkey":"12","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"28736","g_title":"Battle Evolved","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"18","g_commentcount":"30","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/10964-shot0.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/10964-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/10964-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/10964-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/10964-shot4.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"GENRE: A fast paced arcade platform shooter.\r\nSIZE: 8.7 MB\r\n\r\nDESCRIPTION:\r\nAfter an epic war between the intelligent 'evolved' dinosaurs and the human race the dinosaurs have taken control over planet Earth.\r\nYet there's one hero who travels back in time to wipe out the dinosaurs so they cannot exist in the present.\r\n\r\nGAME 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!\r\n\r\nPERSONAL HIGHSCORE: \r\nTime: 7 seconds\r\nEvolution years: 6000 [last wave, completed]\r\n\r\nOTHER INFO:\r\nThis 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!\r\n\r\nUPDATES:\r\nI'm planning on making updates in the near future.\r\nYou can keep track of this game by going to my website: http:\/\/aquarel-games.weebly.com\/index.html\r\n\r\nTOOLS USED:\r\nGamemaker 8\r\nSFXR\r\nCool Edit pro + Microphone [like 50% of everything is my voice :P]\r\nFruity loops and Ejay.<\/p>","title":"Battle Evolved"}
