The Horrifying and Viciously Aggresive Though Strangely Susceptible To Evolution Monsters From Some Mysterious Random Tomb by Ret44

[raw]
made by Ret44 for LD24 (COMPO)
Your goal is to collect as many gold as you can. There are two kinds of monsters that will try to prevent that. Every time you kill one them, they became stronger. They will adapt (evolve) to your actions, so be warned.

This game is based on XNA Framework, so you gonna need XNA Redistributable, and .NET Framework (both 4.0).

Love the title, not really sure where evolution comes into it though!

Game was fun but I didn't see any new mechanics.

Couple of issues - Buy too much armour and your health goes up rather than down when the enemies hit you, I had to avoid collecting health potions since these actually reduced my health down to 100! Also it crashed after about 4 levels.

Really liked the graphic and the gameplay!

Something wrong with the HP indicator. When i take a potion it say's 100, even if i have more than that! If i get hitted by a monster, it return normal..

A bit buggy (some doors lead to the wrong place, after being hit my health was 101) but quite fun, although after buying many swords (another bug?) after the first dungeon I could kill everything in 1 shot.

Not bad, a few problems that I've seen, though:
* Frequently getting hit by the enemies as soon as I enter a room, without chance to dodge/shoot;
* Too much gold, after the first level I was doing enough damage to kill any enemies in 1 shot
* On the second level, the enemies had seemed to evolve to deal negative damage, thus healing me O.o

Fun gameplay, but you get way too much money. I could one-hit everything past level 1. And you should probably change how defense affects damage, so you can't GAIN HP when you get hit. Also, maybe I'm just stupid but I didn't find a key in a level despite looking into each room several times.

That is one long title! A few little issues as others have mentioned but a pretty fun little game. I like the idea of species of monsters evolving.

if this was made in .XNA then how come you cant put it onto the web? XNA is one of the webs main programming languages.

I don't really know where to start. But first of all, do not think this is an insult.

Your game has got tons of bugs, for example after a while I started gaining health when monsters where hitting me. The game is also to simple, I could kill all monsters in one hit after the first level etc.

It also happened that I glitched out of the screen once. I was standing inside a wall square. My solution was restarting the game.

Kindly,

I must be at the bottom of the bucket, because all the games I've clicked today have been XNA, and I can't run them.
