Zoo Hypothesis by NikSG

[raw]
made by NikSG for LD30 (COMPO)
Figure out the systems - the solar systems, if you will - and create advanced life on planets. The more planets with advanced life there are in the same system, the better you do, because life is pretty cool and making it grow in space is neat.

Half relaxing puzzle, half space strategy (once you figure out how to create life).

I think I figured it out, though it would be good to have a solver that will say "good job, you've maxed out this level" if the goal is the score.

I'm not sure I was able to figure out some of the interactions between the systems, but I did enjoy it!

I finally figured it out! Neat idea... it'd be cool if there were more combinations.

I really love idea for game. Interesting mechanics.
I found how to create "advanced humanoid begins".

The prototype has the potential. Some things need to improve or add.

It took me a few minutes, but I got humanoid life. Cool concept, but tricky to figure out as a player. Interesting take on the theme and innovative gameplay. Good job!

Might not be very intuitive, or might just be me, but I didn't really get it. Sounds were annoying and visuals are subpar - sorry! Not trying to be mean, but this game needs more love put into it, man! I think your concept has a lot of potential! I think you should keep working on it.

Could not figure it out... Didn't spend that long though.
Seemed pretty interesting though. If I had more patience and time I'm sure I'd have played with it longer.

Hi there. Got to the advanced humanoids. It would be nice to see a few more stages and a few more orbits. Nice graphics, UI and sounds. Good job!
