Watch the entire evolution of a species from single-celled organisms through intelligent life, through the eyes of a hapless terraformer. This game is a little too slow-paced. If you've had enough of the current stage, press F1 to skip it.
Chrome is preferred. Firefox is okay, but it has some problems with the audio. Sorry if you can't understand the voiceover, it's my first time recording stuff!

I like how you see the world evolve around you though, and I must say the audio was excellent! I would've liked to hear some different music than just that one track though.
By the way, you should consider uploading the game on something similar to dropbox so that people are able to access it easier, I think this could result in more plays and comments which your game deserves.
Also. The thing that happens at the end. I mean, RIGHT at the end. I don't want to spoil, but: PERFECT.
I agree with the other comments about speeding up the gameplay, but still, I am very impressed!
Everything felt very polished and the narrative was pretty nice.
I posted it on Reddit too, but I made a video of myself playing it, as I've done/am doing for all the LD24 games I manage to play. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHF3VwsVru0, if you're interested.
The gameplay was simple, but very effective (although maybe a bit too simple?). Best submission I've played so far.
Anyway, the voiceover made the story fun to follow and it was fun to explore what new creatures each time. Very nicely done!
Gameplay is not quite as perfect, but it works well enough to make this a very recommendable and full experience.
Great job.
i also like the graphics, simple but fitting
great game, nice job!
At first, the ending sequence with all the "Oh, Crap"s was a slight of that, I thought, "Oh, no, he's just turned it into a cliche alien takeover story." But then, the last voiceover cleared it up. You're really good at voice actinf, by the way.
