Have you ever wanted to help guide evolution? Specifically, have you ever wanted to use some methods (they're probably highly illegal; don't inquire too much) to mutate animals to try to build a stable ecosystem? Well, then this is the game for you! Your goal is to, by mutating individuals, make it so 3 species can coexist.
The player is given actions to do like blocks in a tetris, and you just use them at that order by simply clicking around
fun game, it was nice seeing the fishies interact. I thought I could choose the mutation? But it just cycles through? Maybe If I could choose what was going to happen. I was also not clear on what the icons meant.
It took a short while for me to figure out how the game works: The player is given actions to do like blocks in a tetris, and you just use them at that order by simply clicking around.
Good and fun 48 hour implementation of an interesting idea. Played a few tries and had 36 mutations when I messed up the last one.
Cool game! It took me some time before really grasping how it works and at the beginning it isn't really clear how the methods cycle but it's fun trying to balance the three species! Would love to see this idea expanded :)
The music is hypnotic, i tested this in GNU/Linux, there is a lot of lines of output that makes the gameplay slower xD What is this? ------ YAY128.16669 YAY106.24561 YAY241.2538 YAY107.617744 YAY353.8569 YAY91.22722 YAY106.04344
Oops... that output comes from the particle effects. 1 line per particle per frame = A lot of lines of output.
Also, sorry about the losing on load thing. I didn't realize it was possible (I mean, I guess the spikey must eat a fish, reproduce, then be eaten by a fish bigger than it, which might happen with some probability...)
I played with it for 5 minutes or so, but couldn't quite figure out what I was supposed to be doing. I clicked the buttons at the bottom a lot, but I was never sure if they were affecting anything, or how. That said, it was surprisingly fun to watch, despite not having top notch graphics. I'm sure if I could figure out what I'm doing, this would be a lot more fun. Loved the music, btw.
"The player is given actions to do like blocks in a tetris, and you just use them at that order by simply clicking around" - this should be documented in-game, while knowing this, game finally makes sense. I like how the concept was executed - while graphics were clumsy, gameplay is pretty fun. Bonus points for music.

I really liked this. The behaviors of the fish and the influence over the environment made for a genuinely dynamic gameplay.
Shame there's no fun sound effects.
Good job!
