This is a great idea and a cool take on the theme, I think it could be a fun multiplayer too.
Great Job :)

I had fun playing it. It was a bit hard to meet the evolving condition. I got into pentagon anyhow. Music was well fitted too.
Cool idea but I couldn't really figure out the goal, perhaps a better tutorial is required. I like the sound effects/juice though :)
Interesting idea, the mechanic was a bit confusing at first but I watched the video which helped. I think a gif of that video could be put in the game in the future (I assume it was made after the submission closed)!
It was fun overall, I think with some polish on the ability and the mechanic it has a lot of potential to be an addictive game!
Hello fellow shape-based developer! Slicing through enemies as the triangle was fun, but it felt too difficult to get kills as a square, imo. Maybe I'm just bad haha.
Honestly, the perfect jam game. Every element, from the visuals, to the sound, to the gameplay, is straight to the point and streamlined for ease of use. Well done!
good game agario like
post effects and music are good all feel good cool
not quite clear how damage and xp works
Fun game! Took me a bit to realize how to evolve but once I understood it it was awesome. Would have loved even more shapes but awesome work for a game jam!
Nice take on the tastyplanet/agar genre, I thought the music was particularly good!
Would be very grateful if you tried our game!
Simple but fun! Like others, watching the video helped me understand evolving. I also wish the action button was on the mouse. If there was a score system, I would have played it longer. My favorite attack was actually the triangle.
The game is great! I did not find the evolve mechanic intuitive, but after watching the video, it was really fun to mess around with evolving. The style of the game is incredible, and the unique abilities are very entertaining.
At first, my reaction was "Is this just another Agar.io spinoffs?"
But after played it quite a bit, it's actually fun <3 even though I don't know where's the "scale" system implemented (cmiiw)
A simple but fun game! Getting to play as each different shape was an interesting experience. I think the concept could be taken much further too but for the time frame of the game jam it's well made!
I really enjoyed the game and while I couldn't figure out how to kill pentagons (skill issue on my part), i really enjoyed the evolution of the game and how the gameplay loop worked!
This game is really good, it's a solid example of using simple assets but using other methods to create stunning VFX which I think you nailed here. I enjoyed being the blue triangle, the mechanic of dashing around through enemies was honestly really fun, and I think you can do a lot with the mechanic alone in another game. Amazing job!
I really like the look of this and the soundtrack fits very well! But it needs a tutorial or at least a decent explanation on the page, because I don't know what I'm supposed to do after having filled up on energy from the dots. Any contact with the enemy just turned them red an then they killed me... thing is, I really like the presentation so if I get an explanation I want to try again! :-)
