Really fun game, always happy when I finish a game. I enjoyed how the character and other elements changed throughout the game. As others have mentioned, it would be good to have a background with more detail as it was sometimes hard to tell how fast you were moving.
Thanks for coming and checking it out and commenting! Yes, the background will be getting an update after the jam, it definitely needs something to help the movement feel.
Fun game with a nice concept. I would recommend making the water background a little bit more detailed because it was difficult to tell when you were moving
Thanks for checking out our game! Yes, the water definitely needs an update ... that will come after the jam is complete. Just one of those things you don't think about until it is up in public and then it was like "ohhhh...!" BTW Loved your game!
Nice game! A good mix of spore and feeding frenzy :D simple, but works nicely! Well done!
We appreciate you come and playing our game, and thanks for the comment!
Very fun game! I really loved the variety of creatures. The music and sound effects are also hilarious. Great humour and amazing job!
Thanks so much for the comments and playing! I am glad you enjoyed the character art!
Awesome spore vibes! Fun little game, would love to see you expand upon it
Thansk for playing and the comments! Yes, I would love to keep working on it into a whole Spore-esque world... glad you enjoyed!
The cute little creature in stage 4 was just deformed :/ :D Fun little game for sure!
Suggestion, background should have some variations, so the movement feels straigthaway better. We had the same thing at start, that our background was just same, but you couldn't really feel/see the movement as well, even if the movement itself was alright.
Thanks so much for playing! Yes, the background will be getting an update ... I completely agree it needs it to have that movement feel. One of those things that slipped by the wayside ... lol!
Really cool game ! Thanks for playing ours !
Thank you for playing our game too!
Enjoyed it! quite funny game.
Thanks for checking out and playing our game!
Spore vibes! I played a couple of rounds. This was well done. Would be interesting to see how someone wold expand this. Keep it up!
Thank you for catching the spore influence! I think this would also be fun to expand on, as I had a bunch more ideas that wouldn't fit in the time slot. Thanks for playing and commenting!
You really nailed the sense of progress. Good game.
Thank you for checking out the game and commenting :)
i NEARLY evolved to the last stage. those shrimps got me in the last seconds... the challenge was quite well balanced, though it would have been nice to see the evolution be reflected in the creature abilities. the moving-towards-the-surface-ascension theme was quite nice though.
Thank you for playing and commenting! I appreciate the input on expanding the abilities, it would be a great direction to explore :)
Pretty cool concept; the art style is pretty cool as well; I think the predators should not spawn instantly as they do; and the cutscenes are pretty cool too. Good job!
Thanks for your comment, glad you liked our art!
Liked it! Don´t really see the theme but it´s fun! :)
Thanks for checking it out and commenting :)
Really enjoyed this! The mechanics are great and it is very addictive and fun. It definitely fits the theme and I love the art style of the sprites too. I like the way you had a little cut scene to introduce the evolution idea at the start and the way the eating sounds got deeper the more you evolved. Beyond the jam it would be nice to add some parallax background to give a better sense of depth and movement.
Thanks for checking out our game and commenting! Yes, the sense of depth I agree needs to be added, I am glad you liked the gulping :) BTW, loved your game!
47 an then the crabs/shrimps were on the whole screen :(
But it was a nice game. I liked the gulp and the change of it a lot! :D
If you have the time, play and rate my game, too.
Thank you for playing and commenting! I will check out yours, too!
Nice simple mechanics with an interesting theme behind it, coupled with nice sound effects.
Well done!
Thanks for playing our game and commenting!
Brilliant geme loop!
Great sound and effects.
Easy and fun!
Good job!!
Thank you for the comments, and thank you for checking our game out!
I love the cute critters and the eating sounds! It's harder than you might think... And I won!
Thank you for commenting and playing our game!
Nice work! I've always wanted to see this mechanic from spore expanded upon, and you did a great job! It's super satisfying to see your little creature grow with every piece of food they eat, and all the character designs were really charming!
Thanks for catching the "Spore" homage, what a great game that was! Glad you enjoyed, thanks for commenting :)
I got to level 5!! Fun!
