Very relaxing. Except when you fall back to the start of the game accidentally. haha

I can attest that hole can be frustrating. Was one of the bits of QC we didn't get to touch before submission deadline. If we expand after, we definitely plan to be a bit more curated with the level design.

Amazingly executed, even though it was a bit frustrating to fall in the same hole over and over, this is a very calming and sweet game, both the graphics and music are extremely good. Great job! Fits the theme very well!

I personally love metroidvanias so this game was honestly really cool! The color changes were unique and the transformation throughout the game was fun. Keep up the good work!

Really fun game, I enjoyed the platforming and exploring the world. The art is also really great, and the music made for a pretty relaxing experience. I also liked how as you ate more your abilities changed to help you reach places you couldn't before, I thought the level design was super smart to accommodate for that. Overall this is a great submission, amazing work :)

I have some experience playing Metroidvania games, but this game is good and forgiving when it comes to infinite life since it's about facing Trial and Error until you pass certain obstacles. 
-Music is relaxing,
-The controls are alright 
- The pixel visuals are good

Wow, this is a very good game! I loved the idea and how you executed it! The art/animations are really nice and I find the level design really clever. The music and sound effects fitted the atmosphere quite well!

Really good game. The concept is pretty interesting, it's not as simple as it looks, and it's amazingly implemented! There were no FPS losses for me. I haven't finished it yet because some parts are really hard if you didn't eat enough before. You sometimes softlock yourself for the same reason. But overall, the game is incredible. I'll definitely finish it as soon as I have time :)

Really nice work, I got a lot of Rain World vibes from this game. Love the use of surface and sub-surface color palettes. I got stuck for a while as the bouncing butterfly until I realised I could jump through some trees. I got confused because another tree or wall that looks very similar bounced me down into a hole. In the end I got all 40 bites and I think you’ve done extremely well with this jam!

Thank you so much! We'll update the game with some QoL improvement asap :)

I like the original interpretation of the theme :)

The music, art and gameplay make it a great game!
