So, this is the result of our first participation in the Ludum Dare game jam. The game is a shooter with microscopic evolution of single-celled creatures, called allels, or something. We liked the final result because the gameplay was very fun and frenetic, and the theme "evolution" was very present: evolve to survive. The survival of their species depends on how much you evolve. It was a fun work made by just two guys, that's it.
To play Allel, use WASD to control the character and shoot everything that moves using the mouse button.
* Cool graphics and animations; * Frenetic gameplay; * Balancing to play forever and ever; * Original soundtrack;
Coming soon:
* Autofire; * Leaderboard;
Bugs:
- Enemies "recede" and AI; - Character shoot after 5 evolutions;
Cool game, I always love robotron/geometry war type games - in fact my entry is the same. The only thing that needs fixing is you really need autofire, which is ironically is the same thing I should have added to my own game:)
Great game, very well balanced and very good looking. I liked the fact that the enemies can also absorb power-ups, it adds a lot of depth to an otherwise simple game.
The only criticism I have is that pressing the mouse button repeatedly is very unconfortable (not to mention it's bad for our health, and for the mouse >_>), if you could fire continuously by keeping the mouse button pressed, this would be a 10/10 game (I'd definitely play it again if you change that!)
very very fun! I especially like the point where you shoot huge bullets :)

Impressive twin-stick-shooter! Love the presentation, from the graphics to the sound.
One minor quibble is the pick-ups looking very similar to the enemies. You aren't naturally inclined to pick them up. I also believe enemy-ai could've gotten more self-growing itself, that would be a lot of fun :)
Muito bom, mais um grupo brasileiro participando, isso é bem legal para o mercado brasileiro de games, o jogo ficou bem legal, a arte ficou show, eu achei a ideia tambem muito boa.Depois da uma olhada no meu, sou estudante de programação no colegio NAVE no rio de janeiro
When you are 4cells and fire 4 balls I guess that their powerattack is less than when you are bigger and only throw one ball, isnt it? so much clicking , lol
@Oye Beto: Thanks. I lost time in the background because it is the only visual element of the game, besides the characters. Its very important. Autofire is coming. =)
Fast paced and fun!!! OMG my hands are sore with playing (but in a good way). Simple concept (sometimes those are the best) executed well. Your proposed autofire addition would be awesome! Well done!
the framerate seemed a bit jerky to me for an arcade game. i thought the sound was pretty good, and the swirly background added a nice bit of atmosphere.
Great Job! :} Pretty fun!
