This surely deserves some 5 stars in various categories.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I really enjoyed it and I think it has tons of potential.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>btw, what's the third stat? I had most at high levels and that one remained at 0 and I was never able to figure out how to increase it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good job!"},{"author_name":"nuria","author_uid":"4978","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 4:06pm","epoch":1346083260,"text":"Hey, thank you! The third stat is size, it will make your creature bigger. You need to eat corpses to increase it. ;)"},{"author_name":"pjchardt","author_uid":"13158","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 5:33pm","epoch":1346088480,"text":"Interesting mechanic about movement and firing.  A bit too slow for my taste though.  I kept trying to increase my fire rate.  I do find the sound effects and music were very nicely done.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I also could not figure out about the size stat until I read the comments :)"},{"author_name":"madameberry","author_uid":"14549","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 5:39pm","epoch":1346088840,"text":"Man, that was fun.  I had no idea what I was doing, and I think I died a lot but it was fun.

When you completely fill a bar, you won't see the benefits immediately. You will transfer that experience to your descendants, so when your lifetime is over and you die, they will take your place as your evolved form to continue your journey.\r\n\r\nCONTROLS\r\nMouse - move cursor. When your creature is overlapping the cursor it will shoot automatically.\r\n\r\nLeft Click - Will teletransport your creature to the current cursor location.
