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!
