This is definitely one of my favorites of the game jam, great job! I love the death effects, and the ending is excellent XD

Very cool take on the theme! I really enjoyed it! I like evolution games anyway, liks spore and stuff. SO your game hit the right spot! A very cool entry to the jam!

Anyway, if you could spare a few minutes, I would be happy, if you played and rated my game! :P

Submitted

well done. the evolution concept is something you should develope further

Submitted

Interesting little game! Nice concept. Not sure why the sfx are left or right depending on what direction you're facing.

Well done!

Submitted

Amazing!! Loved the concept and the approach to the theme! Great game!! Congrats!

Everything is really nice. Good use of colour in the pixel art, and definitely a fun evolving death mechanic. Only thing that really needs work is the sound.

Game was ok,
nice upgrade system on death but maybe some checkpoints would help.

not my cup of tea of a game and my wife said the sfx were so annoying lol so i pressed shoot faster :)

Really fun game!

Thanks for helping me evolve into perfection!


There was something about this game that felt really good. The controls felt just right and each time I evolved I felt like a huge step up. The art style and colours were simple and fantastic.

A really nice little game! I really dig the art of the evolving character! Some more indication to how much hp I had at each stage would have been nice. And I am not sure I agree with having spatial sound in relation to what direction the character is facing :D I would have loved to have a final upgrade that allows to fly in there!

Such a wonderful mechanic dude! It feels like a great mixture of EVO and Kirby. You could easily turn this into a full game. I hope you don't abandon this project after the jam. Great job!

awesome game!  The art is neat and the controls are responsive , the concept is creative and the gameplay is very engaging , fun and challenging. The attributes of  enemy enhances the player when the player dies, this is  survival of the fittest or evolve or die, a branching skill/evolution tree would be nice, but this is sufficient to sustain an interesting game, which reminds me of a SNES game EVO. Overall I enjoyed playing this one! congratulations! keep it up!

This is a great implementation of this kind of mechanic. Well done.

Wow, really cool game with a very interesting mechanic. I was amazed when I died and I kept all the traits. I thought that You only get one trait at a time, but the way you did it was really great. Two things, the audio I didn't like hearing it only from one side of my headphone depending on what direction I'm looking at. The second is the cursor not updating unless you move it. I think you did it for optimization but it felt a little clunky at times. But the game was very good and fun otherwise!

Iteresting take on the theme, really cool that you gain stuff from the enemy that killed you. This is a good overall package, really enjoyed it!

That death sound... It reminds me of something but I can't figure it out.

Good game with cool concept, also the dino is very cute. Wanna check out mine?

Submitted(+1)

Played and rated. Great little game.

The balance on the trade off for dying and receiving a new power is well done! I didn't mind as much dying with the new power, especially when we have the spike shield, that helps a lot :)

The concept is great for the theme.

Would appreciate if you check out and rate our game as well: https://hadilepanda.itch.io/rise-of-necromancy

Love the evolve mechanic, very fun game.

Very simple fun and simple game. I loved the background ambience and the sound effects. It is very relaxing

I love this! Watching the dinosaur evolving is really cool. You should definitely add more creatures and more variations. The control feels great and the creatures' sprites are very well made. I like how the enemies disintegrate into particles when died. Nice job!
