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.

Love the rogulike / make your build games and this one is one of the best of that I've played in this jam so far ! Great job.
5 on 5 on this one !
loved the intro & the vibes of the game,
always amazed how poeple can make such nice games with this minimalist art style!
Sfx was on point
I thnik I found the META, turn into a house builder, letin only one entry and wait in you room for having heals xD (get to le 55 and quit ^^)
anyway realy great entry !
Very cool game, definitely had me hooked for a little while! Is there a high score? I got level 111. Also, I had a few notes:
Overall, I enjoyed this game, the loop was fun and the graphics were nice. Great job!
This is an image of my max HP being so high that I would just run through the black blob to make the level increase faster:
This is an image of the red wall strategy I described above:
Dude! Wow! I was dead sure I hardcoded a limit of 100 levels. Not that I ever expected people to get that far anyway. I’m glad you proved me wrong on both accounts. Thanks for stress-testing the game! It’s incredible how far you’ve come. If there was a leaderboard I think you’d be at the very top of it.
It did not occur to me that a health bar can grow that long. Silly mistake, but I’m sure I’ll be able to patch it out with no problem. Thanks for the advice I’m sure there are plenty of exploits in the game. I don't think I’ve playtested the game past level 10 before submission to be honest. I’ve saved your images Somehow they bring so much joy =) Thanks for such detailed feedback. I’m glad you loved the game
Cool! Yeah, I love pushing games to the limits, I'm always hoping there will be an easter egg :D Glad my playtesting was helpful!
Pretty interesting game.
Lvl 27, 6:33! This is hard! Loved the game!
Adding "building" ability was a very nice difficulty increase for multitasking, even though it somewhat broke the pathfinding.
very nice game, i would have liked some little break because after level 20 it becomes ver yhard to keep going non stop, but other than that it felt great to play :)
This game is amazing! Good idea and incredibly polished, the art style is insane, nice job!
This was a lot of fun! Simple and well made! The concept is great and the challenge was just right for me!
The intro with the finger being the cursor is astounding!
Satisfactory and well polished game! I felt like was kinda impossible to get a rewards on late game when the rewards is placed almost centered at the screen, but maybe I'm bad ^^'
Simple yet awesome, nice intro
Really nice! The upgrades are all simple enough to be understandable while also having enough nuance to be useful!
Well polished game. Love the way the black glob would move and split and chase you. Wish the player moved a tad faster. Overall well done!
This is a super fun gameplay loop! Love the goop enemy + different upgrades, had me playing for a while. I like the concept of being on a finger, but I don't think it was very well integrated into the gameplay; feels like you could switch out the background and not be able to tell the game has anything to do with scale. The intro animation was super cool, though! Great game overall!
Damn such a good game with great polish. Absolutly amazing and addictive gameplay. Great work for only a one man project!
Wonderfully executed! I especially loved the blob—it was such a cool touch. Truly amazing work for a solo dev!
Such a good idea, it feels suuuuper hard but I like it, I'm impressed with the number of power ups you were able ton integrate (we also made a vampire survivors like and god knows we wouldn't put as much), even more impressive for a one person team, congrats !
one of the coolest games I've played from this jam, really nice job with the intro cutscene, and the difficulty curve felt very fair when trying to figure things out! Well Done!!!!
Great fun! It looks like you took some queues from Vampire Survivor, which is a totally fine inspiration to have as I've spent many hours there as well ;). Works great, looks great, plays great. What else is there to say? :D
looks SO CUTE I saw the trailer and its like a mobile game add but it actually is good!!
Pure and polished gameplay + beautiful visual style = perfect game
