Unnatural Selection

Theme is evolution, you control two characters with mutations and must kill one off. The character that survives will carry their trait onto the next level’s characters.

Killing off a character will give you a 3x multiplier, worth more than their points. For high scores make your choices early!

Tip: Mutations change how characters jump, use that difference to kill one but save the other.

Loved it in general, a few issues I found:
I felt like the black one was more likely to survive just coz it was closer
The camera was pushed too far in. I felt I was failing because of an inability to see rather than the abilities of the different characters
When the black one dies, the camera shifts fairly suddenly.
There's a tree in level 2 that blocks the view at a crucial moment, just before a jump...

Very neat concept! i agree with pdyxs about that tree. It got me twice before I finally anticipated it.

Really cool idea - I think it might be more fun to drop in the new generation without stopping the game.

I was planning to add in a true infinite runner style but was running out of time and just ended up polishing what I had, I might revisit the idea later though.
