I too liked how you gain the powers of enemies. I also found it interesting how towards the end you would see enemies that had all of the wierd evolutionary traits piled into one. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good work."},{"author_name":"QualityAssurance","author_uid":"15238","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 4:54am","epoch":1346215740,"text":"Great work.

Perhaps introduce new abilities\/enemies more slowly along with puzzles that test the new abilities you evolve."},{"author_name":"sP0CkEr2","author_uid":"7135","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 5:06am","epoch":1346216460,"text":"Good game.

Game also looks very good and solid.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Collisions in gameplay sometimes feel a bit off and there should be a bit longer period of invincibility after hitting an enemy. Now you often hit many enemies in a row and the screen is just blinking and you're being thrown around.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good job otherwise."},{"author_name":"thewiseguy99","author_uid":"14421","time":"Sep 7, 2012 @ 1:57am","epoch":1346982720,"text":"This is a really good game.
