Brilliant game mate, even the programmer art is a charm. The evolving mechanic is very original and the controls feel very good (nothing like meat boy ;-))
Fun game! Evolution itself seems a little buggy or at least non-intuitive, but I found myself playing it more than I intended to. Well done, cool take on the theme :)
Not a bad platformer/puzzle. Monsters evolving were very annoying/random. Would've been nice for a little animation to play right before they evolve or something.
Okay, I really enjoyed playing this! :D I especially liked the ground that spawned enemies when you walked across it, as well as the plants that you needed to "taunt" in order to make them grow.
I also liked the music, and the controls were nice.
What I didn't like was the fact that all enemies suddenly evolved, without warning. I got killed like this *a lot* of times, when an enemy spontaneously grew when I was jumping over it. Some flashing or shaking would really work to warn the player that the enemy is about to evolve, IMHO.
Also, the enemies were a tad odd, in that they behaved kind of randomly, smoothly bouncing along. Some more variation in that, as well as tighter movement could be nice.
Very hard, especially due to the random behaviour of the creatures that evolve. Good game though, I part of the greatness of Super Meat Boy was that although it was brutally hard and the levels were complicated, they were deterministic so that if you didn't improve by increments you only had yourself to blame, you were never unfairly wiped out by a random game mechanic. Please add a comment that you can wall-jump though, I didn't realise this until I read someone else's comment! I thought I was completely missing somethig I had to make the evolved creatures do.

Nice work!
This has a lot of potential, and could be even better if all the kinks are ironed out.
For example, I switched into the 2nd level and still had the momentum from the last one going, so I plummeted to my death. Wall-jumping needs to be introduced in a thought-out-fashion, as well as enemies and how your evolution-bubble behaves. The grass was way too diffcult, as it just kills you outright.
