I was really surprised by the breadth of buffs I encountered, It felt really good to play. I did find that eventually when i had a bunch of buffs and got hit enough to be come really small i was outrunning everything to the point that i was floating in space by myself with nothing to shoot, but in all honesty if things had kept up with me i feel like i would have died very shortly after that lol

The movement so good, far beyond my expectation!

and the mechanics really merciful, allowing the level to be much harder. That's simply inspiring!

The creatures in the game are diverse, and it's a lot of fun to watch them because of their enormous size!

Submitted(+1)

The game features a variety of creatures, and their massive size makes it really enjoyable to see!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing :)

Submitted(+1)

I really liked it! I loved seeing all the different creatures, the artwork was really good! My only minor recommendation would be to add a timer so the player can see how long they've been surviving for. Or a score, as others have said. Great job!

Developer

Thanks for playing :D, it's true that a timer could have been a good idea too

Vampire survivors but good???
Really fun game. I also like the fact that it's unintentionally scary at the beginning since bacteria are quite unusual plus the fact that they are way bigger than you.
The only thing I wished this game had was an ending.

Glad you liked it ! "Vampire survivor but good" ? I'm honored

Very funny, i played around 10 minute, i was really curious about how would look like the creature that once where so big and that i can now completly destroy.

Great participation!

Developer(+1)

Yeah, that was the idea of the game, glad you liked it :D

Really nice take on the agar/tasty planet game. Well done!

Would be very grateful if you tried our game!

Developer

Thanks ! I'll play yours of course !

Submitted(+1)

Nice game! I had fun playing it and the music is great, a score system would be a cool addition and i'm not sure if the character can die or not.
Very good job :)

Developer

Yeah the score system could have been a great feature to add... Glad you liked it !

Bravo pour votre jeu, il est très réussi ! J'ai été étonné par la variété des ennemis à l'écran, j'avais toujours l'impression d'en voir des nouveaux ! La vibe m'a vraiment fait penser à Spore (la première phase) je sais pas si ça été une inspi ou pas ahah. Félicitations encore à vous tous !

Developer

Oui spore à été une grosse inspiration.  Merci beaucoup d'avoir joué et content que ça t'ai plus !

Loved the number of different enemies, and had a great time playing, but it became far less enjoyable to play once I was larger than the size of the spawning fish. Dropped to roughly 1 frame per second and was quite hard on the eyes.

Would love to see an expanded version with that issue resolved!

Developer(+1)

Yeah the game is kind of ended here and we didn't had time to add more ennemies. Glad you liked it !

Submitted(+1)

nice little game gj would be great if there was a score system though 

Developer

Yeah i thought of it at the end... Glad you liked it !

Greattt game! I love how smooth the mechanics are, and def addicting. Great work! 

Submitted(+1)

Wow the magic of cheese can be so powerful :0

Insane game, the graphics are very good and the vfx are insane !! The sound design is pretty good too.

I love the gameplay that reminds me games like Agar.io, Slither.io etc.. The usage of the game jam theme is very cool! 5/5

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks for playing ! And may the cheese slay your enemies!

Submitted(+1)

It was really great ;) 

Submitted(+1)

I really liked the way you implemented the theme, I found it rather fun but I did stumble across a bug/idk what it is which literally spawned giant versions of said creatures and boxed me in but all in all, Well Done!

Developer

Glad you liked it ! The bug you encountered isn't really a bug, it's normal that there are big enemies but we didn't have enough time to balance everything well so i understand it can be frustrating "loosing" like that...

Ahh don’t worry they saved the planet anyways.

Submitted

The framerate of the game got slower and slower as time went on until it becamne unplayable :(
Which is a shame because i reallly wanted to see all the enemies

Developer

Sorry you experienced that. Normally lag doesn't really appear before the last "scale zone"... How far did you go ?

Submitted

I didn't count how many "scale zones" i got through, sorry :(
I will say there was a point where i didn't manage to progress, maybe i was playing wrong...

Submitted(+1)

I absolutely adore the way the little microbes look and are animated, especially the long one with the tail. Reminds me of spore

Developer

Thanks ! Yeah spore was one of our inspiration sources...

Submitted(+1)

I really like the enemy variety. I enjoyed playing it :)

Developer

Yeah we've put a lot of effort on it, thanks for playing !

Submitted(+1)

Fun game, the art is really cool! I literally spent half an hour playing :D

Developer

Waw ! Thanks a lot ! I'm really glad you enjoyed playing our game.
