Sandevo - The Evolutionary Sandbox by leparlon
The game was not finished, and I had problems creating a build that would work in any other computer, so I HOPE it works (My first time with LWJL + Slick.. it was fun! :) ).
This is about playing with evolution, the creatures haves some parameters and needs that randomly evolve each time they reproduce. Its ALL RANDOM, the only way you can influence is by changing the environment.
The AI is scripted, and remain constant through the generations.
When finished, this game should be about surviving in a pretty random world by tilting the evolution your way> You can do that by killing off the agressive creeps, letting only the passive ones reproduce, or by modifying the environment, build fences to force evolution on specific species (works!), plant vegetation (works), etc.
(you can do this things on this version, but there is no reward or goal)
This thing here has ALL the features minus:
-Sound
-Animations
-Tile merging
-At least 30 creature frames
-A freaking GOAL
But I found it fun to play while angry.
Controls (I am releasing it with all the debug controls)
WASD - Move
1-6 - Simulation Speed (important)
X - Place plant ou cursor location
Z - Place Fence on mouse cursor location
Mouse Right - Remove Fence on cursor location
Mouse Left (HOLD AND SWING) - ATTACK
O - Add Herbivore
P - Add Carnivore
And this name is temporary, since it wont be a sandbox when finished.
PS: The creeps may look the same, but that is because I had no time to make enough skins, the parameters may be VERY different.

@midgard I could not (tried for over 5h), I'm pretty new on this Java stuff (could barelly export an executable). Sorry!
But yea, Looks like a cool concept, too bad you didn't have enough time to complete it!
The theme and the concept are good, I liked it!
