That was fun, great job! Levels ending abruptly was my only real complaint, it's hard to tell what the progress (i.e. how much left to eat in that level before it's considered done), and then suddenly the level pops away. Totally fine for jam though and I'm guessing you're aware but in case you're not. :) Anyway, great work!

it drains time , it felt a bit wierd at the start but the game kept me invested and drained my time without even knowing it, eating stuff was super satisfying and getting bigger, it was really a nice game, Great Job!

fun little game. I liked the turtle movement and the way he grew as he ate more. the leg animation was a nice touch. Would be cool to have more levels or randomised ones, but you need to limit content in a Game Jam. nice work

Developer

Thanks, I thought about adding more levels, but I wanted enough time to polish the game a bit.

yeh I was the same. Only added 2 levels and did Polish instead of more levels.

I love the concept, and the animation of the turtles legs when he jumps is so cute!  I made him jump all over the place just for that reason :)  I did find the camera angle made me feel a bit sick, not sure why, otherwise great game :) 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I think the sickness might have something to do with the fish eye lens, I like the effect, but it definitely needed to be more subtle.

Speed is key! Just some good old simple fun.

Developer

Thanks :)

I love the turtle's eyes and how much bigger he gets xD

Developer

Thanks :)

Being a turtle, walking around and collecting stuff, is quite fun. The camera effect is making me a little dizzy but still a nice game.

Developer

Haha, sorry about that. It was hard to find the sweatspot on that

Submitted(+1)

Satisfying and fun ! - could play endlessly if randomized user created levels were incorporated - super chill,, respect the turtle

Developer

Ooooo, that's a cool idea. I've never tried making any sort of world builder before

Submitted(+1)

The camera made me feel like i was drunk on the power of eating everything in sight. Very fun and i loved the scoreboard element!

Developer

Thanks! I thought a little competition could be fun :)

The camera lens effect was a little strange at first, but i felt like it really gave a sense that I was small.

I love games like this and Katamari Damacy.

Thanks! Yea, I felt it needed something to make it feel more small :)

Fun game. Enjoyed eating the world, and I like turtles. I didn’t know what I was supposed to be doing until I checked the comments. There’s also somethings wrong with the scale of the game on my browser, so I couldn’t see half the screen.

Developer

Oh no! I wonder why it was like that, I’m glad you enjoyed it regardless. I really should have made the goal more obvious

Submitted(+1)

Really fun game... well done!

Developer

thanks!

Submitted(+1)

I quite like Katamari Damarcy back then so this is up my alley. Nice game!

Developer(+1)

That’s where the idea came from haha, I love Katamari Damacy

So simple, yet so fun! Music, sounds and aesthetics all are perfect. The only kinda weird thing is the view in the beginning but as you get bigger its better. I am surprised that the game didnt start lagging on browser while loading everything from the last level at once lol. This was so fun, great job! :D

Developer(+1)

thanks, I tried to make the game very small so it would run okay :)

Bowser's got nothing on your turtle...cool project.

That is one hungry turtle!  Loved the scaling up concept.  So simple yet kinda addictive to play.

Bit unclear early on what could and couldn't eat at first and took me a moment to realising my turtle was getting bigger, but it was interesting discovering the mechanics organically.

Great work!

Developer

Thanks :)

I have become turtle, the eater of stars!

I love it!

Fun game, swimming and eating is hard

Submitted(+1)

Always enjoyable to go around eating the world. I did run into a small bug if you plan to continue developing. You can get the turtle stuck on the world boundaries by moving against them and rotating with your mouse. Added quite a bit of time for me in the final level trying to get unstuck.

Developer

Oh no! thanks for letting me know :)
