Wow, just in time!
I'm a bit disappointed, though, with this one. I made the classical error: Too ambitious for my experience and time. I didn't have time to add proper sfx or music. Also the game lacks a bit of polish. More about this tomorrow with the Post Mortem.
The game: As I have no knowledge about DNA, biology and so, I decided that given that Evolution took so long to be a Ludum Dare theme... what if Evolution itself fights against the previous LD themes? It has been in the final round 7 times and 9 voted, that's 9 levels!
Every mini-level is inspired by one past LD theme, as can be seen on the top-left corner of the screen. Plus a last level surprise not inspired in any past them, but with which Evolution has got to fight til the last blood drop :)
HOW TO PLAY:
You have to collect a letter from the word EVOLUTION in each level. When the letter is picked up, a door opens to the next level. The first level can be tricky, but just think about finding the first letter. By the way, the game gets a little better after the first mini-level :)
Controls: Sometimes cursors, sometimes mouse, sometimes both of them:)
Hope you enjoy it!
UPDATE: Ok, looks like the first level is not so obvious so, as I want you pals to play the game, here's the trick: Place objects clicking around and hit the "Boom" button. Check the screenshot!
UPDATE 2: Crap, it seems like there was some z-fighting issue with the "Next" button after winning the first scene! On my Intel card the button was shown in front of the dark plane, but on nvidia, it was rendered behind... Please check it again!
