Unnatural Selection by pereubu
First game jam.
First time i have to write some code.
First time i make a game.
well, this was kinda fun !!!
[This is a 2 players game ]
As usual, i'm not able to make something supershiny, so i try to make it ridiculous and absurd.
This game is a representation of my point of view about how evolution works.

(flames)< Unnatural Selection 2 >(flames)
with a real gameplay this time ( and maybe a nice subtitle to the game )
The game itself is pretty funny as well. The only thing I did not understand was what the game has to do with evolution :P
My main goal was to represent evolution the way i think it.
First i wanted to make a gunfight between a man and a primate, but : first, the gameplay SHOULD have been unbalanced and this wasn't my idea and second, i came with the idea of having two apes fighting.
This led me to "2001 space odyssey"'s openning and to "Quest for Fire".
For me THIS is evolution. It's a fight that doesn't need beeing always the smartest or the fastest, it is also pure brainless violence like shown in these movies.
PS: Another game named 'Unnatural Selection' :D
I love single machine multiplayer games, graphics/animation are solid as well
the only problem I'm having is to find any connection to the theme ... but who cares, it's fun :)
+ funny twist on the theme
- the gameplay could be a bit better
- too short
And thanks a lot for what you say about the art
Reminded me of a little game I used to play when I was a kid (no, not with guns, lol!), where you gotta dodge the other player's slap on your hand... I'm not sure I can explain it correctly here, but it's the same feeling!
Really enjoyed it. Great job!
@Kassoon : Thanks, a lot of people say it reminds them Another World, i never thought of this game while making the assets, weird x)
@mdkess : yeah, i'm still trying to figure out how i could easily do it :D
Wish it was a bit more rock paper scissors -- not sure what other actions you could do, but something to force people out of cover.
I hope you'll find find someone to play with
