Amazing game idea!! Very Spore vibes!! I just had a little difficulty geting away from the enemy... Maybe could have a mechanic of sacrificing eggs to distract the enemy!?

This is a nice game with great visuals! I like the pixelated style!

Animations and juice are off the charts, great looking game.  Initially easy to understand, but not really sure how to win.  Gameplay loop seems like it needs an end.  Gave me Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet vibe.  But seriously, amazing looking game, you should consider fine tuning for a full release.

:3 I always try to add as much “juice” as I can to my games! Thanks for the feedback, I will likely make an updated version :)

The simplistic artstyle worked great with the procedural animation. The mood was great too, and I really do need to give you props for the sounscape. After 10-15 I got the feeling of "why am I playing this, what is the goal" which was a bit less good. However, the features in place and gameplay felt good, even if the game did feel a bit aimless. Good job!

Interestingly creepy :), however I lack of presence of the creatures. Ambiance is cool for an abyssal experience. might need some goal of high score to keep the motivation when no enemy in sight.

as others have said very atmospheric, and i like the design of the main monster. also i felt very attached to the little fish and was sad whenver they died
also what if all the little fish had slightly diffrent random designs, making each one of them more indvidual so when one of them dies it feels even more saddening.
also i feel like there should be a penalty for the left click ability, right now there is no reason NOT to use it, maybe it could drain food or something

The atmosphere is really dark and creepy and it works so well! The world is full and beautiful and animations are top!

Thank you!!

This game is really cool!  I love the atmosphere and the procedural animation is really cool

Hopeless. Life is impossible...you died... Why does the monster attack only me and no one else? If he could have been interested in someone else, then I could have survived. Balance the game and add development. Sorry. It was written in translator. Game is good. i spend time in this game much more then in other one.

I planned on letting the predators attack each other to make it feel like a real ecosystem, but it started to get out of scope for the game jam, so maybe I will add that after the jam ends! Thanks for playing and for the feedback :)

Very atmospheric.
However, there are moments when predators are absent for minutes, which can be less thrilling.

Submitted(+1)

That was very exciting! The atmosphere really set up a perfect jump scare when that terrifying creature, perfectly animated, ate all my lil guys in one fell swoop.

Very fun, endlessly open game that was easy to get lost in and lull into a false sense of security. Thanks for making this!

Great atmosphere, very enjoayble gameplay. I do wish there was an end goal though. Or atleast some high score stuff

Submitted(+1)

This is very very cool! Love how creepy and atmospheric it feels. I'd love to eventually be able to evolve and become the predator! Overall excellent game!

I absolutely dig the procedural animations. Really inspiring! The game really comes together nicely, and has good potential :) !

Submitted(+1)

Amazing! the sound and everything is just on point! I love the style just wish there was a real goal in this game other than surviving and growing your fish family, like exploring and maybe even fighting(?)!

Developer

I might add fighting in the future! The reason the fish have horns was initially to ram into enemies, but it was hard to make it feel right. Hopefully I can implement it in a next version:) Thanks so much for playing and for the feedback!!

Incredible work! The style, music, physics, atmospehere - I'm in love with this game. It should definitely become something more than a jam entry. Just try to add something adventure, like exploring world and lore, collecting items(?) and it will blow everyone's mind. Good luck!

Incredible atmosphere. The sound design and art are really well done and the whole game feels very polished.

The game is really great. Even though the graphics are quite abstract and bizzare, the procedural animation made them really fish-like. The sound design is spot on and the whole game feels really polished. Well done!
