Cool concept! Woul dbe fun to have some sort of goal or to have like, larger things to eat as you get larger.

I feel like this could be a cool game with more time spent expanding it. I really liked your moon worm sprite and animation, and the sound clips you made. I wished there were a few variations in the sound clips, because obviously they do become repetitive. I was hoping something would happen if I managed to eat all the astronauts on screen, so adding something of a goal like that would a good way to expand here. I would have also liked to see the edges of the world handled a bit more, since when you get quite big you start to see the edge of the moon texture. Even just making it huge or scale up as the worm does could help there. Overall, still a nice cohesive little moon vibe and I enjoyed eating tiny space men. Nom nom nom.

There is definitely more that was to be added (and will be added once the jam is complete).  I'm planning on expanding this and fleshing it out into a full game.  Thanks for the feedback!

Had fun playin it! Good work!

Neat concept. What I think would improve the experience is if there was some kind of ending or at least something different than people that you could eat when you scale up. What would also improve the visual appearance is if you couldn’t get far enough to see the edge of the map.

Loved the sound design on this one. Especially their screams pitching up as the camera zoomed out.

I think it has a lot of potential but there are a few things to polish that would go a long way: the background texture doesn't match the art style very much and it doesn't tile cleanly, some screen shake when you eat people would also help, Id like to comeback to see an updated and more polished version, keep it up

Great suggestions.  I had more planned, but the curse of time was a limiting factor (I didn't even get to start until sunday night).  I am absolutely going to flesh this out a little farther without the time constraint.

Nice take on the theme! Liked the monochromatic colors and the animations on the worm.  The sound design was wacky and a cool addition. Nicely done!
