Flash game playable in browsers with Flash 11 plug-in. Game revolves around finding missing links to prove that evolution is real. In addition to exploring caves, you must deal with poisonous spiders. Being a modern-day explorer stereotype, you have a whip to protect yourself from these nasty creatures (and medical coverage if you miss).
Great setup. Fun dialog. I beat it just to see the ending.
I ended up playing this game for a while without the whip because the Flash, as it is embedded on the page, was giving me problems (space bar was scrolling the screen, even when Flash had focus). Not being able to use the whip had an interesting impact on gameplay that I'd like to share.
Without using the whip, there are spirals that will eventually trap all of the enemies into small locations. While more fun, this unfortunately has the side effect of making the game fairly difficult to beat.
With the whip I was able to beat the game. However, with the whip, it honestly doesn't make a significant difference in gameplay whether the spiders were there or not.
Collisions are wildly annoying. Graphics are a little hodgepodge, but I like the background texture. Theme's okay, a bit too historic for my tastes, but I'll count it. Audio's really loud.
The creationist skeptic was great, asking for yet another link each time. Also, the fact that your character's sprite is just a wide-brimmed hat made me laugh. Decent job on the humor aspect.
