NOTE: I have fixed the bugs people have mentioned. So hopefully it runs smoothly now. I have also added a skip tutorial button so you don't have to run it each and every time you start the game. The sacrifice button won't work if there are anymore than 2 cubes in the sacrifice area.
This is my first ever ludum dare. I definitley overscoped and didn't touch on hardly anything I originally planned. Happy to get out a working game though.
The game will take ages if you don't sacrifice your evolved cubes/animals. The more evolved they are the more they are worth! Some colours are also worth much more than others.
You can select a cube by left clicking or clicking and draging to select more than one. You can also hold shift while clicking to select more than 1 cube at a time. To move a cube/cubes while selected click the right mouse button.
Starting off with simple blue cubes, can you evolve it into 8 different species?
NOTE (Change Log): I have fixed the bug where 2 cubes being squished before the tutorial says so bugs out the game. The altar will not work in the initial press unless only 1 cube is on it. Also a minor fix with some of the cubes not evolving to the correct coloured animal.
There has been quite a few bugs with my horribly created tutorial! haha I will definitely be testing a lot more then next time I do something similar! I have added a check button at the top left of the screen just in case the tutorial bugs out. That way you can still at least continue the game.
I have rescaled the points system. Big thanks to @evogengames for pointing out if you added all the cost to evolve there really wasn't much benefit to sacrificing the more evolved animals. It's much more of a benefit now to squish those beautiful creatures :smile:
Thanks for heads up :smile: I have updated the sourcecode as well so the change can be seen in Bitbucket.
SPOILER (how to get all the different colours):
- The easiest way to get all the colours is to mix every colour with blue.
- 2 blues make yellow.
- 1 blue 1 yellow make green.
- 1 blue 1 green makes purple.
- etc.
There are many other different ways to make all the colours as well if you prefer to try and figure them out :smile:
