Homes Through Time! by Materie
Oh wow, so very, very incomplete. :D
The idea was to have the evolution part be part of the story; doing small missions to improve your current home. I barely managed to output one very, very short level, though the story really requires about seven, minimum :P
As such, not much evolution at all, nor is there much of a game to speak of.
There is also no sound.
On the flip side, though, I am fairly pleased with the graphics, although they could use a bit of polish, especially the hero. :P

I appreciate that you entered at least.
But...
This...
I don't think this is really even a game...
5 for humor though.
I think that this is especially true in your case - you almost have a game here. All of the boring "mechanical" work seems to be taken care of!
In any case, good work!
Yeah, I think the hardest lesson which Ludum Dare told me, was how difficult it is to plan time... so difficult. In my first competition I realized 4 or 5 hours until end, that my game will be not finished. And then I made a new and simple game in the last 4 hours. So if you think you won't be able to finish a game, my personal advice is just to make a very, very, very... (very) small one in the remaining time.
Humor 4/5 (I really laughed hard xD)
Your coding was neat and tidy, and you got a parallax background working.
Would have liked to have seen the wolf realised!
If you struggled making graphics / music in time, maybe look into using open source sprite libraries like http://opengameart.org/ and entering as a jam entry next time.
