Glad I didnt miss this one. The visuals were really well done and gave the game a unique feel. Swimming around felt smooth. It would be great to see more mechanics implemented, like combat or a scoring system, to give the game more depth. Looking forward to seeing how this develops further

The game was good, the movement is pretty good just needs a bit of tweaking in the turns. Need to use a lerp function to smooth the turns.
That being said the game really had no point that was easily discernable. It has great potential but there was no score, no killing the other microbes, just running around picking up green spiny looking things.
You have a good start to a game, but you need to have the spiny needles start doing damage to something, and also have something attacking the player.

GDTV-2025Cute little microorganism game :-D It was quite chill to just roam around and munch up the food. A suggestion for future development could be that the player character grows as it eats more and more food? Either way, I hope you've had an awesome jam!

Gold ExpressLove the vision of this, how it looked and the way navigating feels. Definitely interested in giving this another go if it gets worked on more post-jam :)

The Timbre of Toy TownReally nice visuals. Pretty fun even with the incomplete mechanics. I'd love to play again

Final AntasyA good looking concept and i'd like to give it another try once all the mechanics are implemented.

Tiny KnightIt looks amazing I hope I will get to try it again once the bugs are fixed because it's a very interesting one

Wooly WorkshopYou've done a great job making this game and the concept is really interesting. While it's disappointing you didn't get combat working, the amount of mechanics you did manage to make in the time frame where really well made and made gameplay very enjoyable. This was a great first game and I'm very interested in seeing the finished product. You've done a great job, keep up the good work!

Mimi & the Mirrorthis game was so visually appealing! cool concept. i saw a comment that said controls were not intuitive, but they felt fine to me! i dont see a "point" to the game (whats the goal?), but i had fun swimming around. great job!

Pineroot HollowAbsolutely love this concept! The animation of the miroorganisms is truly lovely. I like the feel of swimming around in the drop.
I did peronally find the controls unintuitive, I kept wanting A and D to rotate and W and S to be forward and back.
This has huge potential but and even though at the moment there isnt yet a true game as seems no need to eat nor much risk of being eaten but I'd love to see the full game if you keep working on this.

Immune ResponseThe aesthetics of this game are perfect and beautiful. This has a lot of potential and it was fun to swim around push other creatures outside of the drop.
I made a similar themed game where you're a tardigrade riding air currents between raindrops and it's great to see someone else with a similar theme.
Please finish this game. I'd love to see the final product you envisioned.
