Really creative idea! for me the game felt chaotic but in a good way, like I didn't have control over my shooting bacteria which made me think twice where and when should I move. I think that adding music to the game would add a lot and also maybe a certain goal/bosses?

Overall, I really liked the idea and the game looks good!

It's very pretty, all the light and particle effects are really nice (even tho it can be difficult to distinguish what can hit you and what cannot). The sound is really harsh tho, the firing sound tends to click several time at the end, so when played a lot of time it's very annoying, also you have some sounds that clips, so it hurts the ears. Finally, no music un unfortunate. So yeah, you should work on the sound, and the clarity of the visual and it would be perfect!

Omg you've created LASER SPORE. I love it. 

My only complaint is esc closed the game, I tried to pause to write this comment, and now I'm sad. 

Edit: Lol, once you get too many friendos, it won't let you shoot because it despawns the bullets faster than you can shoot, and you just kind of turn into a big moving blob. Kind of a shame, but I'm sure my computer couldn't handle much more than what was going on anyway.

Great game! Visuals are really nice and I liked the audio. Gameplay is really addicting and I could play this for days :D
I thought it would be hard to move with all additional parts acquired during the playthrough, but it was actually really easy. Also, bonus points for quick and easy to understand tutorial. Great job!

Not even joking, contact me the next time you're making a minimalistic game, I'd love to do some audio work for this, this is amazing, but the audio drags is down a bit! Awesome, so organic, it's so fun to move around in the unorganized mess and fling your tentacles around, awesome!

Thanks! its very cool to have this much feedback and support from you and other developers, I definitely agree with the audio issues since I added it last minute, I'll likely have it improved in the post-jam releaseπŸ‘

Cool concept and the tutorial make it easy to get into

The game lock you attention, you just want to keep playing to see how big you can get, the visual effects are great, and the gameplay so good to play, but the i think the shooting sound effect gets repetitive really fast, but besides that, good job in making this game!

The game is very fun and I love the visuals. The idea is very original.
But the game isn't challenging, so after a while there is nothing to do.

Awesome idea! It's kinda fun to see your little blub grow into this weird moving spiderweb-thingy that shoots. Personally, the glow was a bit hard on the eyes pretty quickly and the audio too sharp. If you work a bit on the visual and audio balance as well as polish this, I can see this becoming a nice little time waste :)

This is super neat! Loved building my bacteria. It's a bit on the easy side but over all, a really solid game! Nice job!
