I made this game for Ludum Dare 24. The theme was evolution. I created this game as a joke to try and trick people. My description for Ludum Dare was:
"This is my 'video game' although I prefer the term 'interactive experience' or simply 'interactive art'. It explores the philosophical conflict in our society between rationality and irrationality or according to other between our spiritual side and materialism. I refer of course to the conflict between science and religion.
I warn you now this game will be confronting, it will take you on a journey through the oppression of a brilliant mind as it is forced to conform to the Church's orthodoxy and rebels against the boundaries imposed upon it. So please sit back and prepare yourself for the emotional roller coaster ride that is Charles Darwin versus the Catholic Church (also known as Darwinicide)."
Despite this exaggerated description when you play the game it is just a space shooter with some quotes, some quite poorly voice acted, from Charles Darwin and Richard Dawkins. I got some...interesting responses. Overall people seemed to like it and it was rated 30th overall for humor. I tweeted it to Richard Dawkins but he didn't reply. :(
Big thanks to Joshua Douglas for the original music track and to Colin Capurso for the graphics.
I might add autofire to this game since there is no reason not to shoot all the time.
