I've got the web version up - let me know if you run into issues with it. Regarding some of your comments:\r<br\/>@racarate: You don't pick up the item drops, the robots do. If they pick up an item, that item will be integrated into subsequently generated robots. Also, the &quot;pineapples&quot; are the ones doing the evolving, so, yeah.\r<br\/>@Thurig and @Mamick: Thanks for the suggestions. I enjoyed working on the game, so there's a chance I'll do a post-compo release. If I do, sound and updated controls can be implemented.\r<br\/>@hnjslater: Now it is! also, no, your death (while unfortunate) is inevitable."},{"author_name":"gnx","author_uid":"8333","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 8:56pm","epoch":1346187060,"text":"Simple yet functional little game.

With that said, the game repetitive pretty quick. I think making different kinds of enemies come faster, and perhaps some other stuff like powerups to mix it up would keep things interesting and awesome :D"},{"author_name":"SecondDimension","author_uid":"14838","time":"Sep 1, 2012 @ 12:55pm","epoch":1346503800,"text":"Quite simplistic in terms of controls &amp; level design, but the idea of enemies picking up pieces and evolving was excellent.  I ended up letting the robots just collect the stuff so I could see how they integrated it into new designs.  Definitely worth expanding on this"},{"author_name":"AdventureIslands","author_uid":"11391","time":"Sep 2, 2012 @ 9:32am","epoch":1346578020,"text":"Cool concept, at first I was wondering what those items are and then the creatures started using them, cool.
