I randomly stumbled upon this game by using Google Lens on a screenshot of one of my indie games and this game turned up. I'm not even a part of this jam but I gotta say, it was really fun playing this. Tentacles were awesome! Great work!

This is a really good start to something awesome! Expanding the mutations, meta progression, enemy types, and procedural layouts could make this into a really fun game to just kill some time with!

Also I like the way it looks. 5/5 on the art direction!

I enjoyed playing your game.

What I liked:
- Visuals!
- Map design felt right
- Lighting! Nice one

What could be improved:
- Combat: the cooldown on the laser is to high. If you start with it alone you shoot. Wait 7 years and see your second kid graduate and when she has her kids you can fire the laser again. How about reducing the cooldown a lot and make the laser weaker? Limit it's range that way the player still has to come in close and personal.
- Tentacle: I liked it in the beginning. But later it is very hard to engage the enemy. You have the dash for that. Nevertheless I always took a lot of dmg when trying to get close. This could be maybe solved by giving some Iframes when using the dodge. Or changing the enemy variety to include more melee enemies and less ranged enemies. This way ranged enemies would become more of a priority target for the player.
- Acidpool: I found it's use very limited. The slime does not stay for very long. When fighting the enemies don't move that much, because I am circling trying not to get hit. For it to be useful I have to get close. Which as we covered before is rather hard. 
- Upgrades: I would have liked to see more variety instead of only flat scaling. E.g. powerful laser that shoots for 3 seconds but has longer cooldown. Big tentacle with longer range, but afterwards it has to regen for longer?

Really liked how upgrades made you look cooler (MORE EYES!1!). Captivating gameplay. I don't know if I'm just clumsy but size upgrade felt useless - I would soak a lot more than 5 bullets. Tradeoffs in upgrades is an engaging idea, maybe its because all the other upgrades came with no tradeoff.

Graphics and animation work was really well done! The mutation choice was also a nice touch. I thought the laser charge felt long, but after getting 5 eyes I could see why haha. Maybe a square aspect ratio would have worked better? Some enemies aggro'd offscreen, which was unexpected.

Carrion-roguelike very cool. Controls felt a bit laggy but loved the visuals

Carrion vibe. Game juice on point, I like the roguelike approach of the game. The ability description can be simpler I think (+25% size >> BIGGER!!) maybe. The pace of the game can be faster. Fun game!

The art looks beautiful and I love the abilities you gain. I do think the tentacle and eye attacks feel a bit clunky as you can't predict where they will land. Nice game overall though!

Really cool! Reminds me a lot of Carrion, great visuals and progression, the tentacle hit feels a lit bit weird though!

Well made, I enjoyed playing that! Nicely polished and just the right amount of challenge.

I would prefer if the eyes shot on the release of the button, so they could be timed better.

All-in-all, a great entry - good job!

Your game is very cool! It's awesome that you can grow stronger and customize your character. The mutations is like a fun way to change up the look and gameplay.

Very cool game, our games a a little similar, it was fun to become stronger and add different mutations to the slime that also changed the appearance to look more monstrous. Very aberrant i like it.
