Darwinia
Darwinia is an action game, similar to Cannon Fodder, with
graphics inspired by early arcade machines and retro Computer Graphics,
such as in the movie Tron.
It is a virtual themepark, running entirely inside a computer
network and populated by a sentient evolving life form called the
Darwinians. Unfortunately, Darwinia has been overrun by a
computer virus which has multiplied out of control. Your task is to
destroy the Viral Infection and save the Darwinians from extinction.
Darwinia has elements of many different types of game
genre,
as it mixes elements from strategy, action, puzzle, hacker, and God
games alike.
It won the Seumas McNally Grand Prize, Technical Excellence, and
Innovation in Visual Art awards at the 2006 Independent Games Festival.
