How does your game fit the theme?
The player turns into the creature that ate them! This way, the end of one creature's life is the start of another! There are also a bunch of endings, so technically, when you get to the "End", theres still more to explore and discover!

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, this was a solo project and all the art and code was made by me! Everything EXCEPT the background audio was made by me!

The graphics design is on point, very good, and the concept is interesting, the game gives a calming vibe and loved the design of the flies, I liked the different endings I found and the unexpected ones, I god stuck as the hound when he turned upside down preventing me to jump, a good job nonetheless.

Great game. Realy fun to play. and I realy wan't to know, How many endings are there? I managed to get 8 defferent ones but I feel like there are more. art and feel of the game are great, It does feel a bit unfinished though. but you know, It's a game jam, a lott of games are unfinished.

Awesome game, keep it up♥

Thank you! The list of endings are on the main game page! You're right it is pretty unfinished, I was able to get it to a barely playable state just in the last 6 hours of the jam! Thanks for playing :)

WOW, such an interesting idea. That's a good one! I think some panels which shows controlls of each being could look better than random text in the jungle but the Hound controlls are not the best. I quickly turned upside down and couldn't do much. And when it was still right I found that by spamming E and jumping doggo can dash very fast and maybe this was the reason I softlocked myself.

I like your idea and I am curious what are your next moves. But next time please add like a pause menu and options. And fix Hound to stay in the right position. And add more endings (I am a big fan of a Traitor one, that was unexpected). And more animals. MORE!

Thanks! I initially wanted to have interactive popups that tell you the controls with animations and stuff, but i wasn't able to finish that in time! The doggo was pretty unfinished too but i had to focus on the other endings so that the game gets to a playable state atleast :P

Thanks again for the detailed review!

I love the ambiance. Did you made the graphics? They are fantastic. It's really original.
