EVOLUTRON by Strkl

made by Strkl for LD24 (COMPO)

Hey, here's my entry,

Forgive me in advance for the bugs :x (Be careful when passing through doors!)

I forgot to mention, but with SPACE you can do a little jump

The controls are really weird but I kinda like them, I found it pretty funny...But of course that why I didn't put any death or damage because of the randomness of the controls

EVOLUTRON

You must defend your ship against evolutrons !

I'll add source art & stuff later, I'm too tired now !
i worked on this for about 35 hours, but i really struggled in the beginning with the theme...it was a completely different game during the first 10 hours

Ah and yes...No music :(

It wouldn't run, and told me that there should be an "Evolutron_v01_data" folder next to the exe. Running through Wine on Mac.

Game works for me, but i can't really play with theses controls :/ I am just wiggling around in the room aimlessly.

I love the particle effects, but the controls need some refinement

Interesting but those controls melted my mind.

I feel like I'm tumbling around in a dryer... it's almost impossible to move anywhere...

Funny, and weird.

Played it till i accidentally left a room i just entered and locked myself out.

I don't see what this has to do anything at all with evolution. While the controls are kind of funny, it's pain in the ass to get anywhere. Also the game is a bit dull, stopped playing because you just shoot those same cubes from room to room.

I think it would be better if he didn't rotate so absurdly fast.

Very hard to control! I could not get out of the 3rd level- made me feel like I had problems... :P

I think that if you get the jetpack movement down the game will be lots of fun! I was on the level with two boxes, though, and I somehow went back out the left side before it began and the door closed and I was stuck...
