Screenshots of the game didn't inspire me much, but thumbnail is what brought me here))
2 great levels, the game makes you think, I like that there is a development of monster abilities - from a victim to a hunter who eats walls and infects 3 cells at once per turn
Very decent work - I enjoyed the game and the atmosphere
I think one of the top fun games I’ve played in the jam so far! really good job! the progression in the game is very satisfying
Pretty cool I like the idea!
Loved the interpretation of the theme! What a wonderfull game to have a good time. I really liked the game!
Turn-based & Carrion. Unexpectedly satisfying combination. Good job!
I was expecting a more scary game, I didn't expect it to have some strategy puzzle elements. Very satisfying.
Excellent work. This was a fun short experience with a nice take on the theme! Nice disgusting gore sounds as well ;)
I legit enjoyed this way more than I anticipated! You honestly did feel like an unstoppable force. Enemies shooting but STILL push through the straight direction felt AMAZING honestly xD
Well done! a Solid 5/5 from my end
Very cool, we really enjoyed devouring as much of the map as possible, amazing work! The art style and sound effects are on point
Played to the end and really enjoyed. Please add option to quickly find/notice undevoured enemies.
Super polished! Really neat. Would even enjoy it as a full game.
I loved the art style and feel. The main mechanic is super interesting!
Pretty fun game, absolutely gnarly concept and art!
Really fun game! Played though the second level and I want more). Visual and atmosphere is pretty cool!
solid art and I liked the expanding of the tiles / tile interaction systems! tiles worked cleanly but some interactions with camera wouldn't work but could've been my laptop - nice work!
The evolution part was cool but confusing
