Ascent

"Death is only the beginning" - the GameDev.tv Jam topic got me thinking about the great circle of life.

Evolution started somewhere in the deep seas of an otherwise lifeless rock hurtling through space. Every living creatures grows, reproduces, and dies - its remains picked up and reused by the next generation.

Big subject for 10 days!

In this game, you feed, grow, mate, and evolve your sea creature in a race to the surface. If you die, don't worry: your "spark of life" still has a chance to reincarnate!

It's been my first game jam, and such a great experience! I'm planning to elaborate on this idea and turn it into a bigger game.
