Really fun little loop, the random cheese upgrades were a great upgrade route and definitely made me a cheese fiend! It would be great to be able to see how much of each upgrade you have earned like in Risk of Rain 2, just to add another layer of satisfaction as some of the upgrades aren't immediately noticeable in game. Great game and tons of fun!

Yeah,it's a good idea. Glad you liked the game !

Hell, yeah! Best rogue game I have played so far. I love the different attecks of the enemies. And there are so many different of them. I love the sharks. Nice upgrades as well. Also i was surely surprised when the game suddenly zoomed out. The only problem was that I got pretty laggy after I was around with the fish for a while.

Love how chaotic it is. The gameplay is really fun, there are a ton of enemy types, fits the theme, music is good everything feels so nice and polished. Also i really like how we dont just die when taking damage

Submitted(+1)

The zoom out feature was great. I felt like getting the cheese was sometimes difficult when I was small, I kept being swept away by the enemies.

Really liked the music, gave a nice vibe.

Seriously fun, the gameplay felt well balanced, I played for ages! The chaos was difficult, but not punishing, which was a good balance too. Music and sound effects really helped with the vibe, nicely done!

Love it!  Great minds truly do think alike, heh!  I really like how you handled powerups and additional attachments, I could learn a thing or two from you!

Really fun! Great job.

This was really fun. The sheer amount of different enemies you had was super impressive, as well as all the procedural animation going on.  The difficulty level is perfect, the pacing is great, the gameplay was satisfying. Overall amazing work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot ! Glad you liked our game :)

This game was pure chaos I love it!

Submitted(+1)

Super duper fun! I loved how exaggerated the difference in scale is in this game. And I liked how whenever I took a lot of damage, the fact that I got smaller actually tended to give me a chance to run away and regroup. Sometimes enemies spawned right on me, and I got blindsided a couple of times by enemies that were so small I could barely see them, but overall I had a blast. Really great game you've made here!

Developer

Thanks, glad you liked our game :D

This was really fun! I got to the point where I was so fast and could shoot so fast and so much that the game was too laggy to continue but I really wanted to keep going because of the enemy variety!

Developer(+1)

Thanks ! Yeah, the lag is the main issue of the game at a certain point... Glad you liked it :D

Submitted(+1)

Super fun game!! I loved the chaos and the frenetic action. The controls remained responsive and accurate at all times, which is really necessary in shoot'em up games. Great job!

I'm curious: are the enemies de-spawning when they are off-screen? I didn't experience any framerate issues so I was wondering if there's some limit on the number of enemies in the game?

Developer(+1)

Well, you're the first one telling me that your frame rate stays good. But normally, yeah, they dispawn when they're too far away... Glad you liked the game !

Submitted(+1)

Its a really great game with nice difficulty curve and introducing new level of upgrades for the player. I think I just broke my mouse though  LOL. Well done!!

Developer(+1)

I don't know how you managed to break your mouse but glad you liked our game !

hahaha just kidding :V

I really like the pixel art and the way the enemies move around, it makes the world feel alive. I thought the jiant worms were really cool because theymade me fell very small. The music and sound effects are very good nd its really statisfying to play!Overall, I reall enjoyed playing this game, well done!

Developer

Glad you liked it :D

Submitted(+1)

The art for the enemies is great, it seems that as both you and them grow you reach a sort of ceiling where it becomes difficult to overcome them though, had fun still!

Submitted(+1)

It was pretty fun in the beggining with a lot of ganks from the bacterias. Maybe it felt a scaling difficulty when you start to really grow, but otherwise a solid entry and a fun game

Developer

Glad you liked it !

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed playing it! Though it seems the bullets get slower as you progress, might be a scaling issue?

Developer

Yeah we saw that bug at the very end and we didn't had the time to fix it... Glad you liked it !

Submitted(+1)

So addictive! But I’ve played a lot of similar games, and it lacked a bit of uniqueness. However, the enemies were well-designed and added a nice touch.

Developer

Yeah, we thougth we had a creative idea but it looks like not that much...

Submitted(+1)

Pretty fun. Played till i had the game going at 1 frame per second, due to the absurd amount of fish. 8)

Well done!

The idea that the healthbar is the size of the player is really cool! I'm unsure if it's a bug or a design decision, but you can't actually die in the game. You just end up being really small.

I also really liked the design of the enemies, some of them looked really nasty. The idea with the alien and the cheese is really funny and creative. All around, good job! I don't really know how it could be improved further.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing ! No, the absence of death isn't a bug but maybe it looks like one... :) Glad you liked the game !
