AvRvE
(Aliens versus Robots versus Evolution)
Your name is Al-Ian, and your job is to go to Earth and
destroy some of Earth's most potentially dangerous species
before they're given a chance to evolve and wreck havoc on
homo sapiens (in the future). Make your way through perilous
puzzles, and be sure to avoid all of the Robots that are
trying to stop you from giving mankind a chance to
successfully thrive.
*GOAL*
Work through a series of isometric puzzles and complete any
necessary tasks to kill off any major threats. *ROBOTS
CANNOT BE KILLED*, just make sure you avoid them like the
plague.
*IMPORTANT SHORTCUTS*
ESC - While in-game, it opens the pause menu
R - With the pause menu active, it restarts the level
H - With the pause menu active, it brings you back to the
main menu (you will lose progress)

you keep up to your reputation C&C. reminds me of a similar game in LD23 . by far the best I have seen :)
The final stage is very challenging . too me a lot of tries !
make a full sized game with similar GFx it rocks . you rock :D
A little hard at first, but very interesting when you get the concept :P
I agree with AaronGordon for the theme not being reflected enough in the gameplay.
Maybe you could add some "natural disaster" tiles that would destroy for instance trees blocking your way or make some ice melt. This way you make the level itself evolve as a part of the puzzle solving.
Or you could give 3 goals for each puzzle like saving a mammoth, a sabertooth cat or a dodo, and according to this choice the next puzzles get modified (yeah a bit crazy to create though :D)
Anyway, I agree with everyone, graphics and audio are good, the gameplay is a little unforgiving (don't waste a millisecond or you're dead) but still good and nicely polished.
The connection with the theme was kinda tenuous, but I really liked the game! Thanks for suggesting it!
Also i didn't see restart button at first and was confused why levels are changing even if i failed :P
