A very entertaining game with a nice use of theme! The graphics were nice and the Carrion inspiration was obvious. My main criticism is one you've heard before, it's way too dark. I can't see where I'm going, making the game much harder than it needs to be. Overall, very well done!

I love me a nice relaxing mouse only game :) so relaxing. I loved the feeling of it, very smooth. Bit too dark but quite fun regardless. Wonderful job!
Lot of Carrion-vibe in this game. Moving was smooth and blob animations looks good. Sometimes it was almost impossible to detect walls. Adding lightning around player character could help. In general, a dark environment looks exciting. Nice work!
Loved the idea and concept, but there were some glaring issues that stopped me from completely enjoying the game. The level was way too dark where I couldn't see where the walls were, and even when I could they would be too far away to reach or I would try to grapple onto them but if I didn't directly click on them then I wouldn't be able to. I definitely think with this type of game you shouldn't have a limit on how far you can reach, or at least increase your range when you gain biomass. And make the player less heavy too. But the graphics on the player were amazing and the enemies were interesting. Just more visuals and better control would've been great.
I really enjoyed everything about this game except for how hard it is to navigate around the map. I had my brightness turned up to max but it was still like just clicking in the dark hoping there was a wall there. Maybe that's what you were going for idk, but guesswork isn't really a fun game mechanic just in my opinion. I wish the walls contrasted just a little more against the background and/or the flashlight-esque lighting around the biomass was a little bigger and brighter. I'm a big fan of the rest of the graphical style though.
I couldn't get used to the mouse only controls, would be nice to have an alternative (maybe 2 keys in keyboard). Despite that it looks really cool in it's dark vibe. Perhaps add a story as well in a future update. Overall great work
Really good game. Controls feel really smooth. I think it would be cool if you had a weapon that used up a biomass, the green snipers were really hard to get past.
