Evotron by testzero
**This game is dedicated to mothers who decide the same weekend their son has repeatedly told them "I will be VERY busy and unavailable to do anything" is the perfect weekend to decide "Now is the best time to ask my children to paint the living room and help install a refrigerator."**
To run:
Extract .RAR to the folder of your choice. Run "Evotron_Unfinished_Edition.exe"
Use A and D or the arrow keys to move and space to jump. Press ESC to exit the game.
What Evotron is: Evotron is a platformer. Explore the level to find the secret exit. As you approach the exit, it will be highlighted as a white circle. Touch the exit to advance to the next stage. Every time you advance to the next stage, one more enemy will be added to the map. If you touch an enemy, this number will be reduced by 1 and the stage will advance.
----------
What Evotron was SUPPOSED to be:
An arcade platformer. As you move through the levels, enemy robots will attack you. Whenever you kill one of these robots, you will shift to take their form. We had 4 different enemy types, each with different abilities and weaknesses. The object would be to kill as many and advance through as many levels as possible without dying to achieve a high score.

You can always upload a Post-Ludum entry to make it what you envisioned!
folder next to the executable" should be fixed now. My Dropbox was full. Thanks for the bug report!)
I really liked the vibrant colors though.
I noticed you did not opt out of the audio category, but I did not experience any sound- Is this a bug, or didn't you include any sound?
Anyway, I do plan to finish the game proper, and fix any of the issues that are still there. But I also decided to keep the 'find the exit' as a game mode.
Having the level advance when you're hit was a very good call for Ludum Dare, as it helps people see more of the game even if they're not any good at it.
Keep at this, for sure! (As an aside, there's no affect on other categories for opting out of audio or anything else. All it means is that when the final scores are presented, your game won't be ranked in those categories.)

It'll end up on our indiedb page eventually. I've been swamped with repair work all last week, but I'd love to see this game out there and played the way we originally intended!
btw,love this little blue hero! how nice if he could have more different with that little red bad guy ToT now they are too similary... Sincere hope this world could be more cool in future.
