Cool idea! it is hard, to know when to use your ability to eat animals and when to play it safe and get closer to them using just your controls, but it makes it also a part of the challenge.

Also, it is great that you've added a tutorial in the main menu! I think that a cool twist you could've done with your game is to make some animals like the fox be an ant in disguise and you have to guess which animal is the ant to then eat it and get bigger (by seeing which one runs away from you)

I think that the main thing is making the theme part of the gameplay, and kind of giving it a twist rather than just using it as a part of the story, which was a difficult task in our game too!

Overall really enjoyed it, couldn't get past the strawberry, it seems like the main challenge here is not the foxes but mostly the mana/health bar, great submission!

Really cool game idea. I always knew fruits are trying to kill us all! I really love the animals and fruits sprites. Also really cool that you added a tutorial to your menu. I did not read the description here first, because I always try to find out how the game fits the theme by myself. So first I was a little bit confused on what to eat because there were only animals around and I interpreted the fruit as veggi. But then remembered all those big eat small games and thought "maybe I am not a real fruit after all". So it totally works out for me. Well done!

Nice work, Great concept

Hi. I liked your game. Cool idea and gameplay, but, for me, it is hard game. 

Realy nice game! I especialy liked the artwork and the animation. A little hard at first but overall a fun game.

Oh man the strawberry is not easy. This is a very cute game, reminded me of Feeding Frenzy, I think it'd be REALLY satisfying if there's a crunching sound when an ant gets eaten. I also wanted more things to interact with, maybe picking up something that refills your stamina bar or makes you move faster for a short period of time. There's so much more you can do with this already amazing game you created. I had a lot of fun playing this game, great job!

Rated!, nice mechanic btw!, lacking of player feedback tho, also seen the time left before you submit, what a bold move XD, really nice job on this one!

also would you kindly help rate mine too? it'd be a huuuge help!, THANKS a LOT!!!

Nice game

I found the game fun but hard and liked it overall with no real complaints,  it was just a good game

A really nice game. The evolving is very satisfying, and reminds me of an old game called spore. You've nailed the feeling of becoming an apex predator. The only thing I think is missing is more feedback (like a sound when you eat an enemy) but other than that one nitpick, this a really fun game! Good job.

This game reminds me a lot of agar.io. It has that same sort of satisfying progression, getting bigger to eat more things.

At first I had trouble winning with the strawberry because I was attacking and missing too often, but I eventually learned to only attack when I was in range.

I thought it was cool that each fruit had something unique to them. My favorite fruit to play was the avocado, because I liked the ranged attack.

To improve, I think you should add more sound effects for when you eat something or move around.

Congrats on completing your first game jam!
