what score do you need to evolve?
due to the competition time limits you "evolve" as you hit dna and your movement actually gets faster each piece you collect. After the judging ends I plan on expanding this game and making a lot of changes. All feedback is appreciated and I will take it into account during the redesign. If you do reach the end of the level your name will get posted onto the leaderboard. The DNA evolves your speed by adding 10px to your maximum velocity and also 10 to your acceleration.

it feels like the dynamics is kind of truncated, like.. it doesn't run smoothly. But I like the overall idea of the game.
thanks a ton for your feedback! the game is written in javascript unlike flash where a plugin determines the performance quality, a large part of this games performance is dependent on the browser you use. This is an unfortunate consequence of html5's current state. If you have enough time to reply with your browser and maybe the version I can look into boosting the gameplay on that platform. Again thank you very much for your feedback and time!

One glitch i guess is when you hold the up key for too long the browser scrolls. I dont know if anyone else is having this problem but also i use Opera. But nice game :D
Thanks Neuyasha! I think this is a focus issue with Kongregates iFrame and my webpage. I will make sure to try and look at focus detection. Maybe I could pause the game if the window scrolls! Thanks!

This game was made for Ludum Dare 24 and was created over the weekend. After the contest ends I will be making a lot of changes and expanding the concept and gameplay. Any feedback is welcome and if it becomes a major change/fix/expansion that is not already in place or scheduled I will be more than happy to give your kong name some credit in the game credits!
