Genvaders – My Ludum Dare 24 Entry
I spent this weekend making a game for Ludum Dare 24 .
Your goal is to shoot as many aliens as you can. After you get rid of one bunch, an evolved bunch of aliens appears.
The aliens evolve based on how well they hit you and how long they stay alive. You can prevent the aliens from taking too much advantage of it by killing the nastiest ones first.

procedural generate aliens? if not, that could be a good idea…

I personally didn’t really like the Evolution theme (it didn’t really lead to a lot of good ideas that were simultaneously feasible to do in the given time), but that’s really neat.
I ended up with building Out of the Sea, which really has nothing whatsoever with Evolution at all :P
