Description
Arena shooter with evolving enemies. Created for the 24th Ludum Dare game development competition in just 48 hours by one person.
Between each round two highest performing alpha specimen are chosen from each three enemy species. The alpha specimen mate, which mixes their attributes into new enemies, which can also get mutations. This leads to increasingly challenging rounds.

It would be cool if the enemy droped like temporary upgrades very fun thou
Yes, I agree. I ended up not having time to implement player upgrades in the 48-hour timeframe. I'm thinking about continuing work on the game and adding that stuff to the new version.

NEEDS diagonal shooting, a way to get health back (defeating enemies, finishing rounds, pick-ups), mute and pause button. Super basic and not very entertaining, especially without the mentioned above.

Nice games jam game - you should build on this, add more enemies and maybe an upgrade or evolution system. There was quite a nice curve but it would be nice to see later enemies doing different things (lasers?). Good job 4/5.
Thanks. :) I did have some plans for player upgrades too, and more enemy variety, but you can only do so much in 48 hours. Right now I'm thinking I will work on an improved version and add more features like that.
