I chose the turtle and defeated some lizards.  Then I chose to evolve with a fish and it made me a lizard fighting a turtle fish.  When I beat the turtle fish, the level didn't end and there were no other characters to fight against."},{"author_name":"Lucas Tiridath","author_uid":"5505","time":"Aug 26, 2012 @ 10:35pm","epoch":1346020200,"text":"Hey, thanks for trying it out for me :). Are you quite sure you killed everyone? The screen scrolls quite a long way each way so could you have missed someone? The way to know is that there are always 5 of them so if you've not killed 5, you're not done yet."},{"author_name":"wumpus","author_uid":"14437","time":"Aug 26, 2012 @ 10:57pm","epoch":1346021520,"text":"This works on the theme nicely.

If I develop the idea in future though, I'll almost certainly include multiplayer. Thanks for the feedback :)."},{"author_name":"KhaoTom","author_uid":"7425","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 10:17am","epoch":1346062320,"text":"Aw man, attacks should cause knockback or something to make it feel crunchy. Primordial setting goes well with the simple drum track, but def needs some more sounds. Lava spout was a nice touch. Love the animal combinations. Congratulations on a good showing."},{"author_name":"Vordux","author_uid":"15280","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 12:41pm","epoch":1346070960,"text":"I like the concept of the game, some interesting elements in there."},{"author_name":"Kickerua","author_uid":"12289","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 8:07am","epoch":1346140920,"text":"I like concept.\r<br\/>The game is quite hard for me.

Got my ass beaten up three times in a row. xD\r<br\/>I also didn't understand how the first screen says I'm the lizard but I'm a turtle if a choose the turtle or a lizard if I choose the fish. Couldn't choose the lizard for some reason (wow, that was really confusing)."},{"author_name":"heuermh","author_uid":"1864","time":"Sep 13, 2012 @ 4:25am","epoch":1347510000,"text":"Like the animal hybrids, nice idea.

If you play your cards right, you might even wind up as a kitten! But odds are you wont.\r\n\r\nBefore each round, you are given two evolutionary paths to follow. The result will be a new hybrid animal that you will play as in the next round of combat where you will play five of your evolutionary rivals. Once you kill them all, you get to make another evolutionary selection.\r\n\r\nCONTROLS\r\n\r\nMovement: WASD (Note that what these keys does exactly depends on what you are but they will always move you in the direction you would expect. For example, if you have wings, W may make you fly whilst if you don't it may only be jump etc.)\r\nAttack: Space (always attacks directly in front of you)\r\nMove to next screen: Enter\r\n\r\nWell that's about it for the moment. It's been a great LD and I look forwards to playing all your games! I hope you enjoy mine :).<\/p>","title":"Combine And Conquer"}
