How does your game fit the theme?
In line with the jam’s theme, “Built To Scale,” I aimed to create the tiniest survival game possible. I chose the world of microorganisms as my inspiration, and fittingly, the main enemy in this game is a cellular automaton that relentlessly chases you around the level. Here is a quick description of What is a Cellular Automaton is: A cellular automaton is a simple model used to simulate complex systems. Imagine a grid made up of cells, where each cell can be in one of several states (like on or off). The state of each cell changes over time according to a set of rules. In the case of my game the rules of each cell are determined by the position of the player. This creates an illusion of the automaton intelligently changing the player around.

Ah, fellow slime enthusiast. Love your spin on it. Walls are OP but still died 😔. We didn’t have time to add upgrades to ours, I think it’s a definite win.
this one is weird, stylistically it works pretty well(altho the finger jump scare kinda got me at first) the evil black goo is very cool and i like the way it moves and is damaged
i really like the build ability in a type of game like this but the walls need to be able to be destroyed by the goo, because you can just cheese it with a dome
i get the burst and split abilities but they very quickly filled the map and made the game less fun
anyway pretty interesting game
I love it! I played this way too long lol
Too satisfying. Illegal.
This is exactly the type of game I find fun, and it's so well executed too. Cool mechanic and I love the intro cutscene with the finger. The SFX for the goo felt very satisfying, how is it it works? It felt very adaptive to what happened. My highscore was level 21, I found out that if you got Ram+ you can spin around by spamming WASD in a circle and do quite a lot of damage.
really sweet game :D I enjoyed it. I liked the mechanics and the gameplay. Nicely done!
Awesome! The walls were my favorite upgrade for the limited space, and fit the theme very well :)
What a great take on the survivor game! I enjoyed it!
Oh man. The game start with the finger was really cool and fun
Great job, I enjoyed it. Nice art and interesting gameplay. Awesome!
Really well polished game! Very great take on the theme. Great work!
Pretty cool survivor, with a very interesting twist ! I love the way the enemies move, and there is enough upgrade diversity to keep me playing a few runs, well done !
Always love survivor games and loved the look of it! Played at https://twitch.tv/hedge_in <3
very clever with the intro, it was an expectation subversion (specially from me not reading the description before)
got to level 15
very polished vampire survivors style game
(maybe) point of improvement: wall vs passive abilities. I think it could be something to consider to double down either on active or passive abilities, I felt sides of my brain fighting over it a bit lol
I like how the blob moves, the tension escalates over time, and you made simple shapes feel satisfying, well done
Most polished game I've seen yet. Immediately intuitive and easy to grasp. Also, the sound effects are sooooo satasfying.
1. Very nice polish.
2. The enemy AI is great
3. Interesting mechanics, instead of the usual vampire survivor clone upgrades
1. I love the big chunky cursor that turns into a finger print that TURNS INTO THE GAME. so clever
2. big fan of when the blobby chunky things refuse to eat the green thing and form a square around it
Really love your attention to details
This is one of the best submissions I have played yet.
pretty cool! i like the animation with the hand at the start :) really cool :D
Fun game! I really like how the cursor turns into the main playing space. Very creative!
Love the art, the sounds, and the mechanic is very fun! All around very good :)
