nice game! would like to make the death scene shorter though
another thing would be to make the non-boss enemies more important. i simply ignored them (except for getting the attack) and then killed the boss
it's a great game! can you make more please?
nice.
Its not loading (the web version)
I know it may be a lot to ask but can you make more? this is sooooooo good and rely fun to play. the over all idea of the game is such an interesting concept. Good job on this :3
Thank you,
currently I have no plans to continue development on this game since we would need to get the team together again. Also I currently have a lot of stuff on my mind and when it comes to game dev and even more things planned. Doesn't mean never though, but certainly not the near future.
I would encourage you to check out my other games though if you want. I would recommend "A Tower in the Forest" and "A Reconnaissance of ENVI 5" especially.
Okay, thanks. Ill be sure to check those games out
This game is so fun!! Only thing I'm confused about is that there's a jump to the upper right of the spawn point that I can't make even with the flying upgrade? Maybe I just didn't try hard enough...idk lol
also, the boss music doesn't loop. it just stops and randomly starts again
Very very fun game, I love concepts like these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I can feel the disappointment whenever I died and you say that I was already evolved to beat the obstacle :( hollow knight vibes 9.99/10

This was so cool to play! Such a unique way of going about progression and exploration. I'd love to see a full game designed around this idea of evolution.
Yes! Yes! Thank you so much for making it available for mac! I love that this game is about evolution :)
Its not working for some reason. It says its missing the .pck file but when I checked the .pck file was there.
That is very strange. I have sadly no idea why that could be because I'm not on a mac and so I also cannot test the build. I will look into it eventually, but for now, as you said, the web version works just fine.
Thank you for the feedback.
the web version works great though and the game is fun. :)
I love it
this type of games are incredibly fun
You got all the upgrades then. But the flying one is optional.
Maybe we'll go back to this project at some point but I think we would have to remake large parts of it I think.
Glad you enjoyed it.
I beat the game!!!!! I wasn't even speedrunning it and beat it in like 10min or something.
A full version would be awesome! Great job!
Fun game i also like the fact you can fight the boss at the beggining
Best game in the jam by far! I'd absolutely love a full version; you should consider it.
That game was a nice and a fun experience but its to short, i would rather to add some new dna`s and skill`s. and it would be nice to make the boss more dangerous. XD
I would love to get back fleshing out the world and adding more mechanics some time in the future , but I currently have a big game project going on soo ,
I can't say if and when we are going to expand on it.
Thank you for playing tho and I am glad you enjoyed our little game
okay good luck!!!
Nice work! This is my favourite game from the jam so far, although I wish the boss could have been a little more difficult near to the end. Great work on the art!
thank you for checking out the game :D
If we decide to develop this world further I think we absolutely would go a lot less easy on the difficulty.
I like it too. By the way I got bluescreened while I was typing this.
This was great!
Amazing! Nice work!
