I love that you used a tardigrade for the theme, they’re such fascinating creatures! The game is really well done; the controls and transitions felt great, very smooth. I especially appreciated the little preview that gives you a rough idea of the contents inside the water drop, that was a very nice touch. One thing I’d suggest improving is the sudden encounters with enemies right after entering a drop: sometimes you start taking damage immediately with no time to react. Great work overall!
Thanks for playing enjoying our game and thanks for the feedback! We definitely want people to explore the raindrops, so we'll have to make the random creature distribution not place any where the player will end up.
You came up with a very cool idea for the theme! And I loooove tardigrades, they need the representation! Mechanic was a bit off for me, i got stuck couple times between air and water. The lore is great, a nice educational game.
Nice concept and execution! I was able to get to 162nm! Needed to get used to the controllers a bit, though. I would suggest to check if it wouldn't be better to put the rotation pivot on the center of the charater instead of on its tip.
You managed to do multiple tiny worlds in a single game! Well done!
Thanks for the review and suggestion. Well look into that!
Got to 442! Great game!
Very interesting concept with a good amount of polish! I found the transitions from air to water quite disorienting, but I imagine it would be hard on such a lil guy.
Dope scroller game!
Nice work! I like how the enemies in the water have tentacles that try to get you.
Thank you! I learned how to create those as part of this jam!
Awesome game,nice graphics and mechanics really enjoyed it. Great concept
Nice work! Had fun playing it and enjoyed the concept.
Pretty cool mechanic! I stopped at 250 but this is a great idea. Congrats!
Thank you so much!
So cool! Very polished look. Kept me engaged trying to keep the little guy alive.
So glad you enjoyed it!
really unique and relaxing game. enjoyed it more than i thought i would. Very well done!
Thank you so much for playing our game.
Wonderful!
Super Cute! I had a blast becoming the biggest tardigrade, the splash sound is a little loud in headphones :)
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it! I'll dial it down in future updates!
Super charming game and the shrinking/zoom mechanic was very well implemented. Was a little confused at first why I couldn't move sometimes, but once I figured it out I enjoyed it a lot more.
Ate an amoeba and died, was a good day to be a little water bear 10/10
Love it. Fun game.
Thank you so much!
Very cool idea! I made it to 93 meters. Fun project!
Thank you for playing our game. We're so glad you enjoyed it!
Always nice to see a tardigrade game! I like the concept, but I'm not sure there was much incentive to explore the raindrops or deal with the enemies and health pickups much. It seemed like the strategy is to just hang around the edges and jump out once your water's full.
But a lot of solid work here, charming art! The music shifting when you enter/exit water is a nice touch. Great job! :)
Thank you so much for the feedback! That's a good point...maybe if when you hit a raindrop your momentum pushes you further in so you have to deal with the contents?
I think that'd be perfect.
Great job with the game. It is fun and challenging. Very well polished. Keep it up!
