In what way does your game fit the theme?
Release a genetic monster, trying to escape its captivity whilst leaving a trail of carnage in its wake
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Nearly all code was written by me, I used EZ Camera shake, LeanTween, and similar packages as well as a grapple scripted copied directly from a youtube video. I also used a free alarm SFX as well as an ambiance SFX

I like this game very much. It's like a combination of APE OUT and Venom. The art style really stands out. Smashing the enemies is really fun and the different types of enemies make this game look very polished. Great game!
If you have a minute please check my game too :)
Thanks so much! Yh ape out was a really inspiration and I definetly need to watch venom
I liked the look (style) of the game. I like that you can push an enemy into another enemy. If you don't mind I have a few comments to make. 1. The controls seem a bit delayed, your player gains momentum after a split second and stops after a split seconds. It makes it a bit hard to make precise movements, I would have liked more "snappy" movement. 2. I would have like to have a health bar somewhere (maybe even simply changing the color of the player?). I wasn't sure how much health I have left. 3. I don't think it fits the theme that much (I guess your backstory explains the "chaos", but not the gameplay). Maybe the enemies could chase the player? That way it could be more chaotic.
Hope I wasn't too harsh :). That is just my opinion after all. The gameplay feels satisfying, when the enemies splash, the grapple feels nice, so good job on the game, keep being positive and best of luck :).
No worries! In the game, the only way hp is shown is through the size of the player so adding a color change would definitely help reinforce that, I think refining the movement and combat would help with your other two points about it not feeling great to control or feel chaotic enough. Thanks for the feedback :D
This is very similar to ape out and teleglitch! This is a pretty smooth implementation of the idea so nice job! The tentacle grab animation looks great too.
Thanks! Yeah, I was very inspired by Ape Out during the Jam lol
overall fun game and nice graphics.mechanics could be better than this
Thanks :D
Really great and fun game. I can really feel the punch and force! Also I like the art style and that you use the size of player as the indicator of HP.
Thanks, glad you liked you liked it :D
One of the most unique games I've played so far. Also my favorite art style so far. Everything is top notch.
Thanks so much : D
Interesting.
really weird game, but really cool, the old tv effect brings more ambience to the game, great entry dude
Glad you liked it : D
no problem, really liked it, give a visit to my jam and tell me what you think, it helps allot, thanks
Such A Cool Game!! I like the movement and the game feed, and the 2d 3d effect makes it So beautiful!
Great job!!
Thanks so much!
awesome game, really nice sfx, fits well within the theme. It's really fun and i congratulate you.
Thanks a ton, glad you enjoyed it!
Very fun game! I didn't get the way the game fits into the theme though
Glad you enjoyed it! My take on the theme was that some sort of genetically created creature had been released from its enclosure and is fighting through guards to escape. "Let there be Chaos" being that someone has released a dangerous creature : D
