the powerups all felt really good and were nicely designed for progression without feeling broken.  also the enemies were all so cool and varied!  it was neat to use them as a metric to see how far ive come.

game sounds fun and the game art really funny, and also youtube trailer is good idea maybe I should do it in 2025

This is so much fun! When you start seeing fish enemies is when you realize the true scale of this game. Kudos to the artists for making so many sprites. Could use a little more polish but other than that, awesome game!

so many enemies! I really enjoyed this game, so addictive!

That was more fun than i expected, the tutorial was clear but then once in the game theres no stats or scorekeeping. I ran out of ammo and was floating around trying to dodge germs while unsure how to get more. No clear win condition or high-score  so i eventually stopped. Fun lil game, could be cool to play on mobile.

Would appreciate if you play & rate our game as well: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2024/rate/2914018

Nice job! 

I wasn't expecting the game to have so many enemy types. Every time I thought to myself "okay that's it" a new enemy type would appear like "no it's not, keep shooting my guy".
I think I valued getting player speed at the begining of the game since some enemies are faster then you but overtime DPS becomes way more important since enemies don't speed up (at least I think so - maybe they do) and the damage is also your source of healing while also defining your "progression speed". I think it would be cool to let player choose what type of powerup he wants when picking up cheese (just like in the mentioned below vampire survivors).

Also the fish animations are so stylish I am curios how did you make them?

Overall great game!

Thanks a lot for your comment, yeah i agree that the power up system could be better and we didn't had time to polish it correctly... And for the fishes, it's a lineRenderer in unity that i control with a script :) Glad you liked our game !

Oh, interesting solution! Will keep it in mind in the future. Thank you!

Reminds me of Osmosis Jones! I played this way too long, and grew to a size where the enemies couldn’t touch me anymore. My biggest criticism is, it was really hard to tell if I was moving or changing size without some kind of frame of reference like some background decorations. And I wanted to fight the green worm guy! LOL. Overall, nice cheese, nice game!

Developer

Thanks for your comment ! :D

The difficult spikes at the beginning and I think that's great. I have an intense moment shooting through the enemies, there is a ton of them, so diverse.  The music doesn't get annoying the more you play. Its a nice game that can get into something bigger.

Thanks a lot ! :D

I really enjoyed this game, the game play is really addictive! I got to a point where there were basically no enemies anymore.

Well done!

Must eat all cheese! Really fun game, loved the variety of enemies you could find.

Very addictive. I became so big the other enemies became invisible. Great job. Also loved that sometimes the shooting matched with the music, that could have been quite the feature.

There were so many enemy types. I liked how the koi fish wiggled. It got too laggy for me around the hammer head sharks. I wonder how big things got!

cool bacteria shooting game!

I like the idea of scaling up from the most tiny organisms up to bigger enemies like fish and stuff. Pretty simple but cool. 

Submitted(+1)
