Great game! The concept is great. Tileset looks good but the enemies and player fell rushed. It was interesting to see your stats at the end. I wonder if you can beat game without evolving.
If you are planning to update this game further maybe try making a metroidvania, but instead of abilities to collect you find enemies in diffrent areas to evolve further
Thank you for the comment. I know the enemies could look better, I am still learning so I drew them quickly to get them working in the game. I wanted to go back and have another go but there wasn't time. To answer your question, it is NOT possible to win without dying. There are certain jumps that require the Yellow Boots.
Since you took the time to share your suggestion, I'll tell you what my original plan was. Currently, the player becomes more powerful after each death. I wanted that to be true of the enemies too. Eg if you kill a red scrambler by jumping on it, next playthrough it will be able to jump; if you shoot a yellow jumper, next time it will drop bombs as it flies; and so on. So the player gets more powerful after each death but also can spread those powers to enemies killed. This would increase variety and re-playability. That's a long way of excusing the lack of checkpoints :D
Yes, Maybe and Yes. I recently finished the Gamedev.tv 2D Unity course and this Jam came along at just the right time for me to try and come up with something from scratch. I am also making a card game for Android. I would like to make a better version of this game because I have been having lots of good ideas. But it going to take a while because I want to re-do all the art as well as fix all the areas that I did the bare minimum on, eg the sound effects and the UI.
