Music kicked ass, which was suitable cuz so did the game. I didn't get very far (breakthrough) but I think that's because I didn't know you could clean-up your queue, I'll definitely come back and try it again with that in mind."},{"author_name":"quasist","author_uid":"14722","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 2:26am","epoch":1346120460,"text":"awesome combination"},{"author_name":"SaintHeiser","author_uid":"14848","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 4:41am","epoch":1346128560,"text":"Really awesome game!! I promise, that I'll beat the game later! I like humor, music, visuals as much as gameplay. I impressed with animation and behaviour of oldman.\r<br\/>But I consider that theme is attracted with ears. Evolution is the qualitative improvement, and has nothing to do with variants of solves."},{"author_name":"FunByJohn","author_uid":"5063","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 1:15pm","epoch":1346245800,"text":"It's like... Lemmings. But you make the level instead of conquer it. Very innovative. I found it very hard though, as most of the time I'd just be placing tiles that I couldn't use under the bridge I'd be trying to build. When I had finally built a structure to complete level 2, I ran out of time for the poor guy to reach the goal. So it'd be cool if it was more restricted which tiles you could use, how many you have for each level and so on, and then have the player pick themselves in which order they want to use them, or something."},{"author_name":"Robotic","author_uid":"8502","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 6:54am","epoch":1346309340,"text":"Lots of fun, I love this kind of graphics, the idea is cool and it's well executed, great game sir."},{"author_name":"SiENcE","author_uid":"10298","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 9:04am","epoch":1346317140,"text":"I really like the level building lemming idea.

But why bother having random tiles that must be placed in a fixed sequence when it's easy to dispose of them?

Try it out!\r\n\r\nI Finally finished a game for Ludum Dare! My game is a platform action puzzler where you help an old man get to the warp gate before the bomb strapped to him explodes. The Evolution angle is that the way you solve the level is not predefined, and a new level will 'evolve'(lol!) out of the blocks you place as you get Old Man Johnson closer to the exit. To play the game, just click the edge of blocks to place the next block in your queue. If you don't like your queue, click the X above it and start axing things. Have Fun!\r\n\r\nOh yeah, R restarts the level. Created with FlashPunk.<\/p>","title":"Old Man Johnson's Lonely Explosion"}
