Really nice! ♥ Bob deserves all the cheese in the world!

I totally agree :)

Man. I thought it felt too difficult.. but maybe you made the enemies ebb and flow in numbers because I kept having close calls but never quite getting fully overwhelmed. Impressive balancing if so. 

I'm not sure if I stopped prematurely, but I got crazy big (even fish looked tiny) and I didn't seem to continue to grow for quite a while, but I hope I didn't miss anything at the end. There was a surprising amount of content though!

As a jam game I've got nothing to say honestly. If you continue developing, I wonder if the bullets could've been made to look more distinct from cheese, since once the bullets got bigger sometimes I found it hard to spot the cheese from all the bullet chaos. I also felt like too many enemies moved in a "predictive" pattern, or perhaps they shouldn't push you around so much?

A great game to have found just before the end of the jam. Pretty, juicy, thematic... all round top marks! Thank you for making it

Developer

This was a solid submission! I was surprised when I got to the fish phase! I was not expecting to grow that big! Excellent job on this game!

Developer

Thanks a lot ! :)

Thanks for the game, quite fun to play! Interesting interpretation of the theme. I was also surprised by the variation of enemies, that's really cool. I'm not very strong in bullet-hell games, but thanks to the strong idea, I enjoyed it and had a great incentive to play further to see what enemies are still waiting for me ahahh

Developer

Thanks for playing ! :D

Oh yes, cheese game! It was really fun, however after soo many cheese powerups the speed when I was not shooting was uncontrollable :D Also maybe it would be nice to add some levels or some indication whether you are doing well in the game or really suck, because when I stopped for a while, I didn't die as I would expect, so mabye some meter or progress bar would be nice touch. However, good job and cheese!

Developer

Really fun and chaotic! I'd love to be able to choose which upgrades you get from the cheese though.

Loved the Sporelike concept! Really nicely realised with a killer consistent art style! 

Submitted(+1)

Really enjoyed it! Love the art style and love how many different enemies there are. Also thought you pulled off the effect of everything growing over time really well.

I did feel like I was getting overwhelmed pretty quickly with enemies. And also did not feel like I was powering up fast enough to keep up. Was trying to collect all the cheese I could get but was still struggling haha

overall really nice game!! 

Developer

Thanks for playing :D

really great art style + variety of enemies! liked the balance choice of moving slower when shooting, makes the game feel a lot more dynamic!

Fun game! I had a blast!

My guy is now on top of the food chain, and other living things now spontaneously explode around him. "Apex Bob" they call him.


Great work, guys!

Developer

Enjoyable survivors-type game! Reminds me of agar.io. Good work finishing!

I really enjoyed the abstract styling, playing a mouse collecting cheese but fighting micro-organism made me laugh. Weird and charming, yet fast paced and fun.

Once I realized that I was moving slower when shooting I liked that balancing. Do I stop shooting to zip past some enemies, or do I shoot them instead? Love when a game has options.

I think the game could benefit by some form of score or progress on screen, indicating to me what goals I have accomplished.

Well done overall!

Developer

Thanks for your comment :) Glad you liked the game !

finally a game i can relate to

What a fun and juicy game. I was screaming CHEESE everytime some new cheese appeared on screen. It felt really good to go from microscopic to bigger than fish. Then no bigger species appeared and I one hited everything, so I guess that was the end of game.
Good job.

Developer(+2)

CHEEESE !
