Ok, I played the latest version with the sounds.
And I managed to finish it at last.
Still awesome.
I seriously loved this game. I was hoping you would end it the way you did. This is amazing!
The sounds make it sooo much cooler, too!
It's really awesome.
The idea is fun, the gameplay addictive,
and the dodos super-cute.
Haha. Very funny game. Although it is not that innovative, I still enjoyed it.
Nice! I think this is super fun. Great graphics and sound. Will bookmark this one.
Very cute dodo and difficulty very well-balanced (this is very rare in LD games!). Audio is a bit disappointing.
A nice polished arcade shooter, perfectly executed. Only issue I got with it is that it got to crowded, couldn't really move around that much, especially at the end. Which is bad since it makes you a sitting duck when they start shooting.
Great humor, had a blast with it =)
Really nice, I loved the different types of dodos. Definitely enjoyed playing this one
Cute fun game. It was enjoyable seeing what new dodos would appear. The pacing was pretty good. It would be nice to add some power ups or something to jazz up the gameplay.
A decent game. Would have hoped something a little bit more clever. However, the dodos DO evolve, which is good :-)
Man, the art is amazing!
I love how the dodos evolve and get harder and harder to beat!
The humor is awesome and you've got yourself an awesome game, right there :)
Really good fun, love the pixel art style as well. Sounds are right on and the music has that 90s console vibe. I was defeated by the giant purple dodo. It just kept on coming! :(
Ok, I laughed a lot. I loved the premise, dodo sprites & sounds. My life is better having played that game.
Great game :D
My only complaint is an explanation as to how they evolve when you kill them. Say, something like "Darwin gave them a potion which boosts their mutation rate".
Fun shooter here, nice pixel graphics and sound ;) The various Dodos were pretty funny.
Haha! This is great, I love it. simple concept, well executed and polished. Good work.
MegaDodo!
This game is awesome. I like how even after they evolve, the previous species is still mixed in.
Hahahahaha, so fun! Thumbs up for HUGE amount of character art... and might I say pretty freaking well done art :}
I loved it, simple, direct and fun. Dodos.
Great game. Evolution of the dodos folows the theme perfectly. i wanted to keep playing to see the next evolution.
There have been a lot of these dual-stick-shooter sort of games this contest. This is my favorite so far.
Hilarious game dude! Great gameplay and great use of the theme - it made me laugh out loud :)
Ha, funf little twin-stick-shooter! I love the enemy-variety, and you nailed the "empty look" on the Dodo's eyes :)
The graphics are amazing, it's a simple game type, but it was greatly adapted to the theme "Evolution", nice job :)
Darwin versus DODO & guns evolution!! it could be another name hahaha
I like this kind of game
Creative concept, was extremely fun to play, awesome graphics and the chicken sound was extremely annoying. Definitely 5 stars for humor.
most-finnished game i've rated so far! really nice. actually i finished the purple one first round by accident. second and third round i failed though. great game!
I laughed when that 800 pound pink dodo showed up. Great little game; great graphics, funny and well-thought theme. Really liked it.
Great fun. Gets challenging once the dodos start shooting back! Really nice design and animation on the dodos.

Dodo are amazing !
Art and gameplay are really great ! Your game is awesome.
Too bad for the lack of sound.
I just saw the huge purple one but a Dodroïd killed me :(
