The shooting and collecting were fun. The music and sound are great. I tried three times and got to the evolution where you turn into a redcoat. Unfortunately I was unable to beat it, because I really want to see how far it goes.\r\rSome things I didn't realize right away:\r- You can hold down the fire button\r- You can hide in your house at night\r\rSome negatives:\r- No pause\r- It's tough to check how much you need to evolve because you have to mouseover, which is difficult in battle\r- Evolve didn't seem to work by pressing 'E', I had to click it with the mouse."},{"author_name":"Cipher","author_uid":"13577","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 10:49pm","epoch":1346193840,"text":"Nice game had a really good feel to it :D"},{"author_name":"kevincorrigan","author_uid":"15028","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 10:52pm","epoch":1346194020,"text":"That was great, I really enjoyed it, and the music was nice."},{"author_name":"imef","author_uid":"9591","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 11:03pm","epoch":1346194680,"text":"Great work!

That's the most boring phase of the game, where you move slowly and the enemies just walk around randomly instead of attacking you. \r\rIt's interesting that evolving as soon as you can doesn't seem to be the best option. On my first play, after evolving three times I quickly got killed by the super-fast red zombies. On my second, I evolved twice to get a better weapon, collected money and resources for a while, then finally clicked the evolute button when I was getting low on health and I was instantly taken to the ending screen."},{"author_name":"Filth","author_uid":"4809","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 12:51am","epoch":1346201160,"text":"It took me a while to realize that I could see the resources required for the next evolution by hovering over the "Evolute" button.

I think the first level should be lower on gold, because monsters are especially slow to kill on this level. I also managed to game the system by not upgrading my house. I was able to easily get the wood and stone while no dangerous monsters was aiming at me and then starting to upgrade when I was 200\/200\/200. Maybe monster levelup should come each day instead of each upgrade ( with shorter day ). I played only 2 games but spent time and really enjoyed them, that's a very addictive entry. Oh and the Music is awesome, it would just be perfect with a loop instead of a end+silence+restart."},{"author_name":"Spaceoff","author_uid":"5791","time":"Sep 1, 2012 @ 1:23pm","epoch":1346505480,"text":"Very fun. But goes from easy to very difficult once those crazy red zombies start appearing. Days seem a bit too long but that's okay I guess.\r\rThe graphics were awesome :D, music worked well, and all in all it was great.
