hey, I just wanted to say I was shocked by your most recent comment about my game — and I have a good reason why haha The thing is, I loved your game the most out of all the entries, and I swear I’m not saying it just to return the favour. The morphies just found the place in my heart, the dialogue was very witty and I found the game mechanic very unique

Haha, thanks! I designed the game, but credit for Morphy's looks goes to JapeNess who did the art. In Catalyst's case, I love riddles and deduction, and mythical creatures, and your drawings were really good. We could team up for a jam some time, if the right opportunity shows up. For now, I'm looking forward to Sasquatch's video. It'll be interesting to see which games the judges like.

yeah that'd be awesome! I love gamejams especially because of the community and the opportunity to work with different people, but this gamejam was spur-of-the-moment desicion so I went solo haha and same, I'm really curious to see the vid!

That was really fun to play! Definitely a great use of the 'evolve' theme for sure! Loved the idea as well, it's just really clever. Plus the art and sound made me feel like I was playing an old SNES game or something, and I loved it!

The idea was quite fun! Having to damage the small blobs to make the next evolution have more damage was a tricky idea to grasp but I enjoyed it overall! Good job!

That was really fun I loved your take on the theme and the ending and credit scene was a lovely reward :)

Generation based evolution with a great concept was incredible! The tutorial was just STUNNING! Well done! :D

A few feedbacks- 

  • The player health in the middle bothered too much, now I know you wanted it to move with player but at this point top/ bottom or on one corner would've been better. 
  • The left overlay UI looks good but given small ingame area, it takes up a lot of playable space.. instead the game scene could've been limited to a smaller screen area separate from the UI on bottom-right corner.
  • Speed should've been clamped or gradually harder to evolve as at last point it was really hard to control for aiming.
  • Increasing life span by only a second felt tedious at first as I kept dying but I guess that's the only way to get more generations. Could start from a higher number like 5 seconds could make this feel better.

Good luck on future projects!! :)

What an incredibly cool concept! “The more a creature does of something, the better the following generation will be at it.” Wish the creature could do more things, though.

Graphics and audio together give me the feel of an oldschool 90s game. Which makes me feel all nostalgic.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

Really awesome entry! We love the visual style, and the gameplay loop is great. It’s a bit challenging, though. Awesome job!

Thank you!

I played your game on stream if you'd like to see my thoughts:

Thanks! It was awesome to see someone play it. We wanted to do some of the things you mentioned, but lacked time. You gave me some cool new ideas, too!

PS. Morphy wasn't a premade asset, it was made for the game by JapeNess.

Omg this game is so cute!! I loved the idea - very creative. Funny dialogue in the beginning as well. The gameplay was addicting - I kept going back to shoot blue slimes so I could defeat the slime boss haha. 

Developer

Thank you!
