Good Concept, Didn't really see how it fit in with the theme. Graphics were good, but the flashing lightning gave me a sore head

Thank you! Basically it's about the nightmare evolving in the sense of speeding up :)

Yeah, not really sure how it fits the theme but it was kinda fun. I did like the use of lightning in the gameplay. A change from the usual 'jump and run' games.

Get an error telling me MSVCP100.dll is missing on my system.

Well the visuals and audio are pretty nice, but the gameplay is pretty standard fare infinite runner. Also I'm not sure what this had to do with evolution.

Not quite seeing the connection to Evolution but it really is quite fun, I think it's really clever what you did with the lightning & mouth-floor-things. Probably could have done without the sex noises though ;)

Really nice graphics. Although the flashing lightening isn't pleasant, it does create quite a good mechanic.

Thanks for all your comments, guys, really appreciate it! The main purpose of this game was to test this relatively new flashing mechanic, yes.

For those who didn't succeed launching the game, please try again, I've updated the archive to include the missing dll file, hope it should work now :)

This game has a great deal of mood going for it. But I occasionally felt cheated when I didn't judge a blind jump well.

Great job. The game is very fun, although not original. We like the music too.

Very nice graphics & soundtrack, quite polished but as others I don't see what it has to do with the theme :)

Wow! I love the concept! BTW, I lauched the game from the .exe not the .bat

Can't see evolution around, but a good game anyway :)

Good visuals and audio, the game itself is a bit simple though. Was there ever any other obstacles beyond the mouths? I could only ever get to something like 300 meters :D

Impossible to understand how to play. How all of you can play it ? What are the controls ?
