Graphics had a nice indy feel to them.  Still haven't figured out how to make humans, but did find some funny combinations ;)  The buttons felt a little unresponsive at times, and it was a little tedious waiting for my tree to get destroyed so I could start over.  Great game though, good work!"},{"author_name":"Cell","author_uid":"3295","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 6:30am","epoch":1346135100,"text":"hah, i like the humor."},{"author_name":"axcho","author_uid":"8060","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 6:34am","epoch":1346135340,"text":"Art and music were great, personality and humor were great too. I wish the game moved faster so I spent more time making choices and less waiting for the animation to hurry up already. Maybe my computer just chugs when the tree gets too leafy. :P But still.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It would be great to see this on an iPhone or something. Something faster."},{"author_name":"YopSolo","author_uid":"16503","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 7:39pm","epoch":1346182440,"text":"Really funny, well done :)"},{"author_name":"tcstyle","author_uid":"4834","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 9:11pm","epoch":1346274360,"text":"Well done with the style and humor.

A bit tedious having to wait a long time when you choose an incorrect combination, although some of the correct combinations are quite amusing. Reminds me a bit of the old LucasArts point-and-click adventure games, where things always made sense on some odd level of logic (e.g. you need it to rain, so you start washing a car and naturally it rains immediately afterwards)."},{"author_name":"Andy Go","author_uid":"14759","time":"Sep 12, 2012 @ 11:52am","epoch":1347450420,"text":"Good.\r<br\/>But I have to say it's a little boring to combine a lot of things  without results.There should be more possible combinations I think."},{"author_name":"bvanschooten","author_uid":"14520","time":"Sep 15, 2012 @ 10:54pm","epoch":1347749340,"text":"well presented, interesting to play for awhile, but I could find little logic to the combinations.

Yarn. Buttons. Communism. Magic. Hats.\r\n\r\nThis was an odd legend.\r\n\r\nFrom these 7 things, humanity evolved. And so did lots of other things...\r\n\r\nNobody knows for sure, but one popular opinion states that people grew on trees.\r\n\r\nYour challenge is to outsmart evolution. Combine elements to grow trees, and evolve humans before 10,000 BC.\r\n\r\nNotes:\r\n\r\nGame play should be pretty self explanatory.  Easy to figure out the rules, really difficult to win.\r\n\r\nHere is a spoiler to get you started:\r\nhat + magic = rabbit\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCredits:\r\nFor how to generate dynamic trees: http:\/\/algorithmicbotany.org\/papers\/abop\/abop-ch1.pdf\r\n\r\nMusic is by Edward Grieg, thanks to Kevin Macleod.\r\n<\/p>","title":"Treevolution"}
