The Dawn of Man
'The Dawn of Man' is an endless runner/infinite runner game like Canabalt - but with a slight twist...
Your character has to evolve from ape, all the way through the stages of early man.
The game is loosely based around themes relating to 2001: A Space Odyssey (my favourite film) and was an entry to evolution-themed XanderJam #3.

Your game made my list! https://youtu.be/jpLiF707O0Q
Well this was both hilarious and hilariously difficult. Some of the gaps I got seemed downright impossible to jump, I never made it past the spear man stage ;_;
Thanks for the review. Really enjoyed the video!!!
Is it supposed to freeze?
it’s supposed to go black at this point, and the guy floats into space…looks like i broke something. Will look now. It worked before.
oh ok
uuuhhh

I did remember the screen going black, but I didn't see the floating in space part (made sure to wait a minute too just in case).
I'm sorry but the music is very distracting and awful(please whoever reads this don't yell at me, this is my opinion), I had to mute it, but other than that it's an ok game.
Thanks…sorry about the music 😁
wow, its a amazing job,its very cool!!!
Thanks!
youre welcome
this is amazingly well done, simple but very fun and the best part is that u get curious the more you play, i really like the concept too, simple, fun, amazing, 3 words i can describe it, keep it up man :D
thank you for your nice words!
I would like it much if the game don't teleports you into fire(it's a bug there,so please fix it)
i have now fixed. it was too many particles :-)
I would like to play this game but for some reason, this game won’t seem to load…
strange. which browser/OS are you using? I have tried it on most and it is ok.
This was beautifully executed! Loved that you layered the particle effect fire and the music in my opinion just sets the mood perfectly... now I want to watch 2001 again, it has been too long!
Lol this was hilarious. Don't ever change the music. I don't know where you found that but it reminded me of my middle school concert band almost exactly and made me appreciate my band teacher all the more
The music is from Portsmouth Sinfonia where they played the tune for fun by swapping instruments between musicians: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pICA–V9stE
This game was an utter delight! I loved it =D had a blast playing it and cannot wait to see more! Left a follow and lemme know of any games in the future =)
Thanks for the video! I just watched it with a big smile on my face!!!
I am wondering how the level is generated.QwQ. I recently got some problems with my 2d roguelike platforms level design.
Have you combined something like music melody into the algorithm?
you can download the source code for free (Construct 3) on this page to make your own endless runner game :-)

I'm sorry for can't open that file with my poor free trial license. I am just wondering if the distance and size of blocks is chosen randomly or from some premade numbers. For example, 4 types of blocks and 4 types of gaps..
It’s just one block chosen to be a random distance each time from the next. The blocks are also randomly sized. They then have a mesh on them to randomise the jagged edges.
Nice one Sam... it gets tough when the snow comes :)
thanks!
you should see what happens AFTER the ice age…
woho.,,.,. this is soo drammatic!
..and the musich!
Nice game, although the music is very annoying lol
I thought the music was funny, but no one seems to agree 😂🤣
