August 24th-27th 2012 :: Theme: Evolution
Advolvolution has two game modes. The first is survive. In this game mode, you attempt to survive for as long as possible while being attacked by hordes of enemies.
The other game mode is inventively names "1000 Kittens", and spawns you in a world filled with, yup, you guessed it: 1000 kittens. But not just any kittens, randomly coloured kittens! Your goal here is to collect all 1000 kittens as quickly as possible. No pressure.
Evolution comes to both game modes in the same way. As you are busy slaying gooey looking bouncy things, or rounding up your furry friends, the world evolves around you. This could work to your advantage, blocking your attackers from getting to you, or it could corner you leaving you with no option but to fight back.
WASD to move, space to attack. Enter selects the menu item and escape pauses the game.
I will also be adding a timelapse video to the links once I have put it all together.

Pretty fun to play the 1000 Kittens. The WASD keys are not so good for me being strongly right handed so Survival was too fast. The addition of the arrow keys would be great!
Ligh7zIncrement: Thanks!
thewiseguy99: Yeah, I understand what you mean, and I should have thought about that while making it, it only would have been 4 more lines. Sorry about that.
Evolving board has potential. I wish there were more complex rules for it though.
Can't run in Firefox 14.0.1. Just displays a black screen and doesn't change.
Couldn't figure out how to do survival, but 350 kittens later I'd consider my time well spent.
Cool! Would have definitely benefited from some animation for attacking, but good work. I like 1000 kittens mode best.
One thing - your physics is a bit buggy, and you can sometimes clip through walls. Not game breaking by any means, but shouldn't be too hard to fix.
This is a nice little game. Took me a few seconds to figure out what was going on at first, but it's an interesting concept.
Uberi: The best tactics I've found so far is just to run away and spam space bar whenever anything comes near you.
mdkess: The animation was something I had planned to include, but I ran out of time unfortunately. The same thing for the buggy physics. During early testing it seemed to work fine, but by the time I noticed the issue there was already a lot of things based around it that would have needed to be ever so slightly tweaked in order to fix it which, again, I didn't have time for. I'll consider fixing it up and posting a post-compo version sometime soon though.
Timster: Thank you for playing :D
It was neat. It wasn't clear to me how attacking worked at first also I liked the kitten collecting mode.
I survived 50 seconds. This game is interesting. The usage of more audio would have been great. But overall it's a neat idea and fun playing, too. Well-done :)
Nice entry. Had problems running it on the website. offline worked better for me (although with slight screen flickering). At first it was kinda confusing (the evolution of the stage) but then it became something really neat. Space bar FTW :)
I think this really needs some sort of feedback when attacking.

Good game, cool take on the theme with the evolving environment and nice humour with the kittens :)
