It was a lot of fun. I loved the inherited traits mechanic was fun "mating" and finding my way around. I got stuck a couple times however hitting a block on the corner after jumping relatively high and coming down pretty fast. Would have loved some more sound in music or fx, but the art style and existing stuff is so great had a lot of fun!

Wow this kind of amazingly simple and profound... I really enjoyed it....needs more ambience/music/sfx though would be helpful! 

Super innovative idea! I liked it a lot. Sadly, the 1-hit death + very few saving points threw me away but I wouldn't have mind to keep exploring which new mutations could come. There is a lot of potential in the concept, well done.

As for some feedback, maybe it was a bug but a bit of music or sfx would have been nice. The progression is slow but fine afterall, and the levels give a metroidvania feeling for sure.

Overall, great entry!

Oh, to be a little blob eating isopods off of the ocean floor... What a novel idea for a Metroidvania! I was pretty invested in my little blobby boy, but sadly he got stuck in a wall after I got the dig ability.  I tried to press R in hopes that it would send me back to my last mating, but sadly that reset the game entirely... I assume that was a debug key you left in by accident, which I can't criticize you too harshly for, because in my game, you take 100 damage if you press R, haha. It was a bit of a shame though, because I was wondering where this game was going to go, but the beginning is quite slow.

I rate it an  "only game in this jam to have a dedicated Reproduce  button" out of 10
