Hilarious little game! Reminds me of Spore, if it went down the cosmic-horror route instead.

Developer

That's pretty much exactly what I was going for! ๐Ÿ˜…

It's eating everything and everyone, and it's going to eat all of us! Oh my god! D:

Reminded me of the Tasty Planet games. If you were to do an update after the jam if you felt motivated to here's some suggestions and pieces of feedback

  • Zoom-out so the cat doesn't cover your entire screen. 
  • A smaller level for small animals or bugs
  • Moving around top down in the city level because right now its just holding right and then left.
  • A quick level where you eat entire cities and countries.
  • The controls are very slippery in space and its very hard to get the first moon to start the ball rolling.

Overall a good game, not purr-fect but pretty good.

Developer

Haha, great minds. These are _all_ things I had planned to work on. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Thank you for playing, the feedback and the cat pun. ๐Ÿ˜…

Oh man, this game took a dark turn. This is super well done, from the innocent-looking Blat to the music amping up per level. Nice job!

Developer

Thank you! I didn't even have time to add the screams ๐Ÿ˜… It was very much supposed to be a juxtaposition of cute and horror. If I was going to make a full game out of it, the various life forms would definitely fight back.

Music all came from a recent humble bundle. Though actually I ended up only using the Ethereal album which can be bought on its own from ineedmusic.co

This is the first one I am commenting on.  I had a lot of fun with this little game.  Legitimately made me smile to suddenly be eating people on the 2nd level.  Idk why.

Thank you so much, that level was so hard to do for some reason, everything that could go wrong did, but I knew the game needed it to work! ๐Ÿ˜
