Is there anything i can do besides press enter to kill gazelle?

@VitalWinter You can always leave the game, or let the gazelle run away. It's a simple game, but evolutions occur after every three round.

I would try it, but there is no Web version.

It could be a really good rpg! ^^

As VitalWinter I thought there was nothing more than pressing a key to try to kill the Gazelle. I let a gazelle flee and I killed too of them then I got bored. If would have been cool to have more attacks, like in Pokémon

It's a pretty simple game, but I like the atmosphere to it.

I played until my cheetah was evolved and had an almost instant attack. I like the UI and the grass waves a lot too. The art is impressive for the short amount of time.

on a side note: you should make such huge games. this is already the third game i see with over 100MB to download. luckily i have a fast internet connection, but if i hadn't, i would not be able to play :P

@pythong I know, it's the nature of using UDK because it includes directX installer. It's a pain, but it's the engine I'm most comfortable with :/

Hopefully by the next event I'll be comfortable with a better engine for game jams.

the graphics are nice, and the concept/ideas are cool. 200MB is pretty huge though.

my first thought was:
*GASP* a pokemon game!

Seriously? UDK? Pixel Shader 3.0?
