My first Ludum Dare entry. Yay!
The game is written in HTML5/javascript and should run across all browsers.
Chrome is preferred tho (oh god please use chrome).

Controls: Arrows + X, or WASD + Shift

Hope you enjoy :)

Super fun! I just wish there were more levels! I was surprised (in a good way!) the first time the graphics evolved!

Wow, this is very fun! I love how the graphics evolve, and the little effects: the loading bar, the score numbers fading, the flash when things evolve! I kind of wish the edge pushed us instead of killing us, though.

Man, those graphics are amazing. Really liked it, you did just awesome, and it is just your first LD! It would be nice to have sounds though, but anyway, congrats man!

Frustrating, but in a polished and well done way ;) I'm just not good at platformers :P
Graphics are outstanding!

Loved it! I even loved the camera in it, great job :) And it definitely does remind me of back in the good ol' Gameboy days!

loved it - so much fun
it's very short but everything about it is great.
It's also quite challenging (providing you want to get a high score)
good job!

Great! Beautiful graphics, very well done! Great challenge too. With better performance and some polish, would make a great arcade game.

Gameplay is awesome. We want more levels!

I've played games with similar mechanics before (on the AppStore just a few weeks ago), but this one is really great. Haven't seen this mechanic implemented better, especially considering the time constraint. Good going, keep it up!

Beautiful, truly beautiful! I love every one of the visual styles; too bad it doesn't have evolving sound themes to go with it. Also, the level is pretty well designed, though it quickly gets too difficult for poor old me.

Finished it on the first try. Very nice graphics, all the different styles worked well.

Simple but fun game, only thing I missed was some sound.

Thanks for all the great feedback everyone! I'm so glad you liked it :)

Hands down the coolest platformer I've played since meat boy. I love that it wasn't about killing or getting killed by baddies but more the path and quickness. Awesome all around AAAA++++!

kinda a stretch on evolve, but still a fun little platform, could have used a little more to do though. There's a but when it shifts color paletts though, twice when that happened i clipped into a wall and got stuck until i died.

Lovely game, well done. Platform movement was spot on, nice evolving graphics and fun too. that bit at the end where you had to run backwards made me go "aaahhh" but I just got through
evilseanbot5 Sep 2012, 08:14
That was a lot of fun.

I thought that last obstacle was a bit of a severe difficulty spike. Might have been better if the difficulty was spread out a bit more.
