loved the game. Well done!
All the cute and goofy creatures reminded me of Spore; I had a few scary moments where I nearly got sandwiched between two giant monsters! Nice work!
I ate them all. Nom.
Oops, all agar.io. 😅

I'm sort of seeing a trend of Feeding Frenzy inspired games, which I totally expected from this kind of jam having thought about the concept myself at one point, but I can appreciate one that tries to stand out with additional mechanics such as level up choices and attacking enemies directly.
However, it is a 2 days game and definitelly suffers from it. I quite appreciated and enjoyed what you were able to make in such a short notice and the ideas you pitched yourselves on the game's page I do agree would spice up the game, so your direction is definitelly going the right way!
All in all it's an enjoyable and addictive game despite all, just could have used quite a bit more time in the oven that unfortunately wasn't there.
Really loved this concept, only just wish it was a bit shorter and the controls were a bit more snappy! The design of all of the characters is also cute in a funky way :)
Reminded me spore but with fun derpy creature design :)
Oh, man. With a little more polish, this would be a killer online .io game!
Thanks for the stream submission! Very cute graphics, and the gameplay works well. Good job!
This is really neat game :D fun to play as well. well done
This was the type of game Mark was saying
Nice!
Fun and engaging: I like the style and I appreciate that you brought together a complete playable game with music and a progression system.
One playtester comment: When playing I didn't ever feel the need to buy the damage upgrade though. It never felt like I wasn't doing enough damage to things and I preferred to just hunt the creatures smaller than me anyways as faster kills
Fun little game, as someone who is into biology though, I only wish you included creatures that looked like actual bacteriophages.
Nice work, love the background! I played it through until I was the biggest :)
I really enjoyed the little mike wazowski guy
Fun game , i love the different sprites and the vision powerup (which is very important), congrats on finishing the gamejam!
Fun! Great job! <3
Fun, quite challenging game, kind reminds me the idea from the early stage of evolution on Spore. but with the mix of vampire survivors.
Good effort for 48hr! Well done
