The Last Creationist by ubear

[raw]
made by ubear for LD24 (COMPO)
The game is about the last creationist - St. Marwin, who is fighting against Darwin's monkeys making them evolve to human.

Marwin's power to evolve animals is going from his Glory Balls(Ctrl) and Glory Beam(Ctrl + Up).

In the game you'll also be fighting against snakes, birds, frogs and Dr. Darwin.

Monkeys evolves to humans, birds can evolve to each other animal(frog, snake or monkey), snakes evolves to frog, and frog to monkey.

It's quite crazy idea but I like it. The game works fine in Google Chrome, unfortunately there are bugs in it, so it's not good in other browsers.

I bugged out, on I believe the 5th level. My thoughts, 'yep that's a crazy game idea alright'. :D

I laughed at the end... It was a pretty fun game. One critique would be to have something else happen when the animals fall onto a single spaced block and stop moving, but overall I enjoyed it. :)

At last, a game that elaborates on the theme :-) Overall nice effort, but a bit lacking in challenge. I completed the game the first time.

bvanschooten: yes, I think it's not as hard as I like, but my tester told me that it's too hard =)

It's pretty fun and I think it's a good use of the theme (very different from most other games. The issue I have with it is the controls; I feel like you could have used different keys and made the balls and laser work better than they are now. Overall, it's a good game!

Nothing loaded for me in the web version... just a white screen.

The game doesn't work in IE. I can't figure out the reason yet3`.

A very very silly game, was fun to complete. The battle pigeons look more like planes but that just adds to the madness.

What the hell did I just play?:D

Strange, glitchy just like an unlicensed console game of yore.
Yet somehow very amusing and filling its place.

Really fun intro story and pretty art!
Yet I didn't get how to pass the first screen. And how to shoot upwards. I'm on Mac + Google Chrome and Ctrl + Up does nothing.
Anyhow, good job.

to Alex Shestakov:
Sorry for that. I didn't test the game on Mac, I'm going to submit post-compo version here with some fixes including shot-keys changes, maybe I'll bind shots to X and Z keys.

What did I just play? It was hilarious, but there's was almost not challenge at all (ctrl+up all day). The best part was the enemies dead animation. Old school.

This ... was ... crazy ... need ... to ... rest ...
I enjoyed it. The resolution is a bit too low for me, couldn't see as much details as I would have liked to. Also agree that there was no challenging part. But it was hilarious, really.

Hehe.. very easy, decent humor though, and okay gameplay to go with it (those bomb weapons you basically just had to spam all the time, which was tiring).

The audio was alright but the bomb and evolution sound effects got annoying... over time.

The ending was cringeworthy.

Brutally insane, and fun hahaha :D The shooting felt a bit weird at times, like I would hear the sound and nothing would happen, or like the shot fired would only go so far. The sounds were great, and the story is hilarious!

This is what I picture an average ludum dare game looking like. It's just a basic game that was made in 48 hours and is just plain average. I like it:)

Funny, cute game. It doesn't seem like it's implemented that well, as the controls are sketchy and there are a few glitches. Still, nice work.
