Darwin In Space by Misericorde

[raw]
made by Misericorde for LD24 (COMPO)
I wasn't really inspired by the theme but I thought the idea of Darwin-Ape fighting against an army of angry Priests in Space with bananas for the sake of the earth was pretty fun.
So I tried, but I couldn't do everything I wanted to.
It's my second game ever and it's pretty empty but I'm kinda proud of it, don't know why.

And I wanted to thanks the creator(s) of sfxr and Autotracker.

I would add a "dont hit me" enemy and another level of difficulty

Fun little minigame. It's a bit like the game I made.

Why is Darwin floating in space, shooting bananas at alien-priests? I don't care, but it's fun! Well done. Would add more animations/different enemies.

It's a bit on the easy side, shot down all priest on my first try :). While the sprite graphics are pretty nice I would've liked to se a more detailed background!

For your second game ever, it's really good.

Well put together little game. I thought you did a great job on execution as everything looked good and did what I expected without any bugs or glitches. The game itself was very straightforward and after destroying a few priests I felt things got a little boring. It would be nice to see different styles of enemies and perhaps some gimmick with the banana bullets so that the player has to think a bit more.

Well that was random, and to think I thought my game's link to evolution was tenuous!

A nice fun little reactions game. Nicely done.

As others have said, a bit more variation would have been good.

Haha. This is... quite something. I have to ask, why do the priests have flashy blue cyber-eyes?

Because they are Alien-priests of course.

Haha, this deserves a 5 star rating for humour for sure. Gameplay was a bit too repetitive, though. Same enemy over and over, just faster. I was able to beat the game without even getting hit. I would've preferred if the game doesn't have an ending, and the goal was to rack up a highscore instead. (Enemies killed / Time survived)

Yay, I killed all alien priests without losing any citisens!

Yay. Science won. I would have made this but I'm not that brave. I went with a more subtle approach.

Would have liked to see a giant Pope mother-ship boss battle.
