Evolution & Survival by pontooncity

made by pontooncity for LD31 (JAM)

Add world-events to help your your population of herbivores survive the onslaught of carnivores.

This game is written purely in javascript (nodejs + pixijs).

To play:
Keep an eye on your the herbivore (green dots) overall health and hunger. Plant trees if they run low to eat, and use totems to ward of the carnivores (red dots).

This Game Works. . . But I Really Don't believe that in the beginning, its that easy to get into. Make the UI Better and you'll have a better chance to do better

Super innovative.

Would be easier to get into if the first objective were more immediately achievable

I don't know how to get more points (it is just going to next level?). I liked the theme, evolutionary games have a lot of potential, it should be more!

Pretty funny, and I imagine I would get sucked into just being hypnotized by the little green and red dots everywhere after not very long, whilst listening to the "HOMP" "CHOMP" and "NOM" of my guys.

Nom nom trees. Cool idea, like a herd survival sim. Decent AI too which is impressive. The UI could use an easier way to switch between the different item/world event options. The game requires some reflexes, so a quick way to perform actions would make it more intuitive. It's still pretty easy to pick up and play though.

Game isn't what I'd call fun, a great concept though. Just needs something to shake it up a bit.

I didn't rate this since I couldn't figure out how to really play it. The GUI constantly flashes on and off in the top left which is annoying and makes it hard to monitor health and points. Also, I tried clicking totem, tree, and even fireball, then "Do", but nothing ever seemed to build or happen. This was on Firefox if it makes a difference.

Fun game! I liked the audio design and the twist to drive the herbivores to extinction.

Cool game concept, with additional sprites for the carnivores and herbivores the game would be awesome! and a background music, overall nice entry!
