And support the indy-company by buying the game!
Oh and the screens don't really do the game justice, the graphics are incedibly smooth, and cool looking.

I bought the game several months ago when it first came out. It's extremely intuitive and amazingly addictive. The graphics are quite unique as well.

I think I explained back then why I don't like it.

Back when? I did a quick search before posting and the term 'darwinia' wasn't mentioned so far on this board.

Perhaps it was on the old boards? I'm pretty sure I remember a thread about it on Polycount...

Justin Meisse

hah! polygon mines! priceless!!

I thought the demo was fun, I did have a problem with one of my combat squads misplacing a guy and I couldn't find him, so the squad wasn't selectable anymore and the alt-tab to cycle through squads didn't work, it just tabbed out of the program. I'm thinking of picking it up.

Joshua Stubbles

Justin, you can also terminate the squad program (making them explode) and then make a new squad

Not if he can't select them.

I had a little go on this in my lunch hour a few weeks back , its really quite refreshing. all though im sure it will get hard to keep track of multiple units later on it the game. when ive got some cash , im gona buy it , if for no other reason than to suport the dev team.

KDR: You can select different programs by alt+tabbing
Just finished the mines, cool game.

cep: Justin said his Windows catches the ALT+TAB so it doesn't work for him. Seems to be a common problem. IMO Windows shouldn't let any program override any Windows hotkeys.

Justin Meisse

weird, I installed it on my work laptop and the alt+tab works fine.
