Can you survive evolution by escaping from your natural predator?
Bio Hierarchy is an action game where two different species fight for supremacy in their environment. Since the theme of the competition was “Evolution”, the player must control a newborn of an unknown species and make it evolve with the purpose of defeating its green natural predator, named Gurl.
Bio Hierarchy marks the first time I partecipated in the Ludum Dare competition, in August 2012. Even if I used a tool like Game Maker Studio for the jam (speeding up the development a lot), completing the game in such a short span of time was really hard for a beginner like me. But I did it anyway! The game received a good reception, in particular for its mood because the images and the music were really well matched.
TRIVIA: The main character’s look and name were deeply inspired by my dog called Sid. He was a mixed breed and his fur was completely black, just like the character in BH!
