Well, I didn't know what I was doing, so I only survived 6 seconds. Then I read "you were absorbed" so I thought I was supposed to escape, but that led to a void of nothing. So I thought maybe there was something I'm supposed to touch. Found out some things decrease growth and some increased it. Tried decreasing. I was absorbed. Tried increasing, and I was absorbed. Nothing makes sense.

hehe sorry it sounds like you were a bit confused - the instructions were on the game page:

Use WASD to move

Hit smaller entities to grow, and avoid bigger entities (they make you smaller)

Keep moving to avoid the nematode

At 1000% growth, eat the nematode to win

Not too b a hypocrite, because I forgot to put an opening image of the controls in my own game, but I really expect a game to convey the idea within the game, not expect me to read a webpage before downloading.

Nah, I'm right there with you - I agree they should definitely be in the game. Honestly I was submitting and realized I forgot to put them in, so it was the only option for this submission unfortunately

I thought you were allowed to update your game as long as it wasn't past the deadline. I had to push a hotfix that I only found because I was replaying my game to get screenshots for the game's itch.io page.
