I like the perspective of the microscope. I would have loved to see more detail in the visuals and to have a faster eating mechanic
Thanks for playing! I ran out of time for some of the polish I wanted to make, and possibly add upgrades to increase the grab speed!
Great idea.but the movemnet was really slow.i wish it was alittle bit faster
Thanks for playing! I think I would need to do some tweaks to the physics to allow the player to move faster without breaking, but it shouldn't be impossible!
Great idea, really fun and addictive gameplay loop
Thanks for playing!
What an interesting game! I wish the grabby arms were a bit faster, but I like how different it is.
Thanks for playing! I could possibly add a way to gain upgrades to increase the speed over time.
I like that concept!! I'm a fan of medicine and microbiology type stuff so this was fun to play. It'd be interesting to see an expanded version with different microbes that offer different challenges!
Thanks for playing! It might be interesting to make different microbes to choose from!
A very interesting idea. I think that it can be developed into something more. Great job.
Thanks for playing!
Nice!!! It took me a while to understand the mechanics, but after i did it, it was very fun!
I win!
Thanks for playing, and congrats on the win!
Cool idea, fun game. The grabbing mechanic feels a little too unresponsive, otherwise, I had a good time with it! Thanks for checking out my game!
Thanks for playing! I was thinking about adding a small cooldown graphic for the grab, but ran out of time.
The grabbing part is well implemented. The rest needs some more love. :)
Thanks for playing!
Nice little game. I like the grabbing part!
Beside that, there isn't much to do. Would be great to see some fighting with the enemy and some music, I guess :)
Thanks, the grabbing part was hard to figure out how to make and not explode from physics!
At the moment, the player can collide with the enemy a little and affect its motion. Though stealing food right out of it might be cool to try to make.
The amoeba was so convincing. Love the soft body physics animation style. This was a great idea. I could envision some really cool thing you do with this as a base for more gameplay. You could things that stay alive in your cell body... Mind Blown! Love this. Hope you develop it further.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
I love the animation work with the character eating and the overall look and feel of being on a slide. I think you could even add in some upgrades at some point to expand on the idea. I had fun playing!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
like the bounciness maybe give the background a kind of texture to help visually when moving kinda seems like we still until we see the capsules and sounds when absorbing would make it so salifying
Thanks! I was actually trying to figure out a shader for the background but ran out of time, same for the capsules getting eaten.
Hehe cool game!
Thanks!
Fun game, promising idea, lots of fun things you could do. Good job!
Thanks!
The animation for the eating is insane. It just looks so satisfying! :D Well done. The game itself is a bit repetetive, but over all has good look, feel and certainly a uniqueness to itself!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! The eating animation probably took the majority of my time to figure out how to make.
Nice game, Felt liked I moved too fast, compared to how slow I was to eat
Nice game, Felt liked I moved too fast, compared to how slow I was to eat
Thanks! I actually made the enemy slow down a little during the eating animation, so perhaps I could do that for the player as well.
I really enjoyed this, it would be cool to see this game with more polish/improved graphics.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
