You've implemented the idea you decided on very well. I also appreciated the Hollow Knight reference. Seeing people enjoy themselves makes me happy :D

Interesting game about a flea. The name of the game was very clearly inspired by the first version of the game Hollow Knight and its old version Hungry Knight. Also visible is the inspiration from the game Rain World. I didn't really like the gameplay, but the part with metroidvania as an attempt was not bad. Perhaps the game should have added something else to the main mechanics. The old slot machine style is interesting to look at, but there is a real lack of music.
it's original, I liked it)
I feel that to convey the sense of scaling/growing, one must attack the concept on as many scales as possible. I like the pixel art but found it super hard to get pas the first spider that is smaller than you.
i really like the art style with what looks like old crt lines im guessing? also reminds me of hollow knight. i like the nonlinear level design and how you have to walk past things you need to get later. only thing i think wouldve been nice would be being able to move as you charge up a jump. overall very satisfying good game :)
I'm glad you like the level design and art. And yep, those are crt lines! Thanks for playing and leaving feedback!
[SPOILER ALERT]
The ending—there's something liberating about it. You and the moon, the openness of it all, the reward after all the hard work. I could almost hear a soundtrack playing in the background. I loved it."
I'm so glad you liked the ending! I think a nice piano song would have been great, if only I had the chance to find one. Thanks for playing!
I like this game! It worked well as a metroidvania despite being short. I like that some previously easy jumps became more challenging after the spider grew.
Awesome game! The art was really cute, the level design had the metroidvania feel, and sleeping being a checkpoint system was a good idea! The only thing missing was some music, but overall that was great, nice work!
Great game! Cute and simple pixel art. I think it would be even better if the foods were drawn in the shape of a food (like a worm), but overall, it's really good. Nice job!
Very nice! Hits the fun metroidvania moments with circling back and experiencing the same rooms in different ways, and the presentation/art is lovely. Well done!
Thanks for playing, I'm so glad you liked it!
Nice game! Although it was a bit easy I liked it, you can cheese it a bit though by skipping over a food and then coming back to it. Do you think you could try my game out?
Thanks for playing! I'll be sure to give your game a try later!
I hate spiders, but enjoyed this game! Awesome art and animation, it works really well. I just wish I could've eaten the other spiders when I was larger than them!
Ran into a bug where I jumped into a new section and fell back out, and then my screen got stuck on the previous screen and I couldn't continue.
Awesome level design too!
Thanks for playing, I'm really glad you liked it! I had considered letting you eat the other bugs once you got big enough, but unfortunately never got around to it.
Thanks for letting know about the camera bug. I had encountered that one a few times while making the game, but thought I had fixed it. Oh well...
Thanks again for playing and giving feedback!
I really love this platformer, growing every time i sleep n stuff. But tbh I'd make the player instantly jump when his jump bar is full; without letting go (like jump king)
Nontheless, great game!
Thanks for playing and giving feedback. I appreciate it!
A nice platformer game. The jump charging in this game is very nice. It fit well for the not so fast paced game.
Well done.
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for playing!
Cool level design, making a metroidvania in 96 hours is realy impressive.
Thanks for playing!
very nicely made
I'm glad you liked it!
Very nice little metroidvania, level design is clever, I had no problem with the jumping, nicely done!
Thanks so much for playing! The level design was my main focus for this jam, so I'm glad you liked it!
I loved everything about the game, maybe it's a bit short but except that you did a great job ! Reminds me of Hollow Knight a bit :D 5/5
Thanks for playing! Hollow Knight ran so I could walk :)
Artstyle is really fun :) gameplay is cool but jump is hard sometimes
I'm glad you liked it. I agree, the jump needed some more fine tuning. Thanks for playing!
