Evo by nseward
A simplistic yet challenging puzzle game where you surround the evolving robot with blocks. I purposely left text out of the game to keep it minimalist. Enjoy!

I don't think it's that fun, though. I don't really like the puzzles, I found it a bit frustrating.

The movement of your character is way too slow.
Very enjoyable, and I couldn't help feeling a little nervous due to the great atmosphere (frankly I was surprised when contact with the Thing didn't kill me, though I've only gotten a half zoen levels through so far)
At first, I didn't read the description, I though I had to touch the UFO... Something to indicate if I was doing good or bad would have been welcome, but I understand because of your choice of minimalism :)
I realised that the intelligence level of each mutation accompanies the extrange antenna in the head, which is a pretty clever idea, and its harder to control the movements each time it evolves, like a AI network training O_O
Music turn the mood really high, appreciate that , thanks

{
works = false;
point = new Point(int(Math.random() * 10) * 64, int(Math.random() * 8) * 64);
}

i found this is very complex to read/understand...
A little comment please :)

The line above does absolutely nothing and in fact makes the computer gods angry. I should replace that line with a break statement and life would be better. I apologize to you oh mighty computer gods. Please forgive me.
