(Aliens versus Robots versus Evolution)
Your name is Al-Ian, and your job is to go to Earth and
destroy some of Earth's most potentially dangerous species
before they're given a chance to evolve and wreck havoc on
homo sapiens (in the future). Make your way through perilous
puzzles, and be sure to avoid all of the Robots that are
trying to stop you from giving mankind a chance to
successfully thrive.
*GOAL*
Work through a series of isometric puzzles and complete any
necessary tasks to kill off any major threats. *ROBOTS
CANNOT BE KILLED*, just make sure you avoid them like the
plague.
*IMPORTANT SHORTCUTS*
ESC - While in-game, it opens the pause menu
R - With the pause menu active, it restarts the level
H - With the pause menu active, it brings you back to the
main menu (you will lose progress)
*CAKE N' CODE*

great game! Really love the graphic style and polish to the user experience, keep it up!
I'm really impressed by the great puzzle design (I suck at making puzzles). The art was really awesome as well. Overall I really liked this, good job.
Loving the soundtrack, nice graphics too. Gameplay was pretty solid :)
Great game and great puzzle design. I really enjoy playing this. Great work.
Wow, nice game :o
A little hard at first, but very interesting when you get the concept :P
Love the graphics :D and the 3rd person controls are easy to grasp (which is rare) would love to see you continue to develop this :D
The style of your graphics are top notch. very clean and crisp.
I liked the graphics, very crisp and high quality visuals and audio. Interesting concept but evolution was only loosely tied into the story and not the gameplay. Still nice job with the puzzle designs!
Absolutely wonderful. Puzzles get pretty goddamn hard soon enough :D
I liked how you used evolution, using the history of evolution for an unexpected game instead of another tamagochi or upgrade based game.
The player sprite is awesome! Nice puzzles and awesome graphics.
Very good game, kids can learn things while playing, you can put the text while playing too
Cheeky little brain teaser this one. Haha, can't get past the one after the wooly mammoth. Gonna keep trying though. Lovely graphical style, has real polish!
Wow I really enjoyed this...It took me a while to figure out what things did what, but by the end i took out the dodo and successed!
This game was the most fun one I've played so far! I love the graphics and music. And I liked the mix of both puzzle and skill based levels. I only wish there was more gameplay. I think you could have made many more interesting levels with the kinds of tiles there were. But awesome game nonetheless! :D
Nice. Very nice. The graphics never disappoint with you two! I agree, this game could and should be expanded up to 10 times it's current length.
This game is crazy fun! At first, I thought, "Well, duh, you just walk there." And then the ice happened. We need more levels and tiles!
Nice puzzle game!
I agree with AaronGordon for the theme not being reflected enough in the gameplay.
Maybe you could add some "natural disaster" tiles that would destroy for instance trees blocking your way or make some ice melt. This way you make the level itself evolve as a part of the puzzle solving.
Or you could give 3 goals for each puzzle like saving a mammoth, a sabertooth cat or a dodo, and according to this choice the next puzzles get modified (yeah a bit crazy to create though :D)
Anyway, I agree with everyone, graphics and audio are good, the gameplay is a little unforgiving (don't waste a millisecond or you're dead) but still good and nicely polished.
You two never cease to amaze me. :) This game is great, and difficult.
This one was actually fun to play, which is rare for LD entry :). Thanks!
A well done great polished game. Plus you have some points at humor!
Absolutely loved the art style!! My only complaint is that it wasn't long enough, I wanted to play more!
Very polished. I liked the art style. The music was too chimey for me though. Only gripe was my disorientation to the diagonal movement. But that's just me.
Awesome, super polished. I really like the main character's design. I'd love a wallpaper featuring him/her/it.
Yap, this game can keep up the fun even after a few tries. Impressing graphics, nice moody soundtrack.
Took me awhile to get the hang of the controls. I kept hitting keys based on which way my guy was looking. Great game though, with fun puzzles.
Very slick, great puzzle design. I'd have perhaps made the retry button more prominent since it felt a bit cheeky to skip levels, but the puzzles were fun enough to figure out that I kept retrying. Good job!
Excellent game. Really enjoyed playing it until I got to the Dodo and kept getting within a few blocks before dying!
Really great puzzle game. Difficult though, I had so many tries (especially cos I am crappy at puzzles). Lots of fun trying! Graphics are really good as was the ambient background music. A really well executed/thought out game. Really good relation to the evolution theme. Very god job!
Very cute game. I like the way you introduced the various blocks and tied them into the species the player was exterminate. I didn't like the escape the falling bricks challenge and thus I could not get past the dodo level. I really like your graphics style. Especially since it was obvious what was is foreground and background.
Very nice. Challenging puzzles and very polished presentation. I got really frustrated on the wooly mammoth level because I kept pressing the wrong key. This is a problem I have with all isometric controls (the directions don't match the directions of the arrow keys), not specifically a problem with your game.
Great game! I love how every tile, you know what it does without being explained. Everything is very clear and colorful!
Very cool, would just recommend swapping the move on and restart buttons. The first time I played I skipped a few levels before I realized that was what was happening.
The game was pretty fun and challenging to play! I liked the different challenges in the puzzles, with the mix of time-based puzzles, turn-based puzzles, etc. The music was pretty neat. Good polish!
The connection with the theme was kinda tenuous, but I really liked the game! Thanks for suggesting it!
Interesting puzzle game with a neat look. Kind of a Ricochet Robot feel once you hit the ice after the first few levels. I enjoyed it; nice graphics and sounds.
Music gave me a bit of a headache but I absolutely loved everything else. Was a bit hard to figure out a first but once I did, it was quite a fun game.
I can't understand why, but if i die instead of gameover i pass to the next level O_
@infernet89 you don't have to beat every level to "beat" the game. :) There are different endings depending on what species you're able to kill off.
Awesome graphics! I kind of suck in puzzle games so it was a little to hard for me :P
Also i didn't see restart button at first and was confused why levels are changing even if i failed :P
Very very polished! Great job! The time-based levels got a little frustrating (so it was a really good decision to include the "move on" button).
