survival of the fittest

survival of the fittest

This game is from the old Ludum Dare platform. You can try viewing the original page on Web Archive
(may not load correctly).
This was my first ludum dare, and unfortunately I was not able to finish the game. I was using python for the first time, and I think my inexperience killed it for me. Still was a great learning experience though!

I wrote my own engine during the comp on top of pygame.

dirty paste from the readme:

goal

------------------

the enviroment changes every 45 seconds.

During that time it's your goal to collect the dna strings, which transform you into the strongest adapted creature for the area.

switching enviroments will apply damage if you did not succeed to become the fittest.

! THIS GAME IS 2 PLAYER ONLY !
