Simple and cute game, but please make that the other lizzards eat eachother, so they don't all focuse on you
Simple but fun ! I was a bit annoyed by being focused by everyone but i eventually got better lol
Nice work! Played and discussed on stream here if you want to see first impressions & thoughts
Simple, cute and fun. Reminds of the enemy lizards in Rain World.
This plays really well, congrats!
Impeccable, love the procedural animations and minimalist approach, this was a ton of fun!
What can I say, I'm a sucker for procedural animations. I love how smooth the movement is. I love Jam entries like this one that put technology first! Great stuff
Really cool idea. I like the idea of latching on instead of just insta win if you're bigger. The simple silhouette design is really nice. Only issue I see is sometimes the lizards all stack together into one blob.
Pretty cool game, though the choice of keys are not the best not going to lie... I feel like you could've just used the mouse and rotate the lizard while capping the rotation speed just so the procedural animation doesn't break and using space or left mouse would've been alright I think. How also the lizards bite each other is a bit tricky when other bigger lizards are around because they kind of gang up on you, they should also attack the other lizards (not always but at least a bit). The game is alright but it could also use some environmental stuff, like some rocks, trees and so on with some funny gimmicks because it's a bit empty. Great game still.
I love the simple artstyle. the controls took some getting used to but once i got it i had a ton of fun biting and dodging lizards!
Simple and fun! I love the animations for biting and some of the risk/reward loop for trying to get bigger. I have just one suggestion: I wish I had more visualization for which lizards I can/cannot bite (if there are limits - it seemed like I couldn't bit the super big ones), or alternatively wish that I was able to bite super big lizards and got MUCH bigger as a result. Really fun how the scale / considerations of gameplay change as you get bigger regardless. Nicely done!
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback :)
There's no limit on which ones you can bite, but bigger lizards can shake off smaller lizards way quicker, sometimes after one thrash even.
Bigger lizards do provide you with significantly more mass, but it also takes into consideration your size so you don't suddenly get massively bigger - that can break some of the visuals 😝
A fellow lizard game! This is really satisfying thanks to the animations and is quite a good take on the theme.
It was scary when a bigger lizard came charging at me!
Animations remind me of rain world. Good job!
The animations are so good. I wish you would have made some environmental cues were you are. I think only one color you feel kind of lost even if it does look cooler. Would been cool if the enemies would attack each other aswell. But it was very cool overall!!
I really liked the game ! Maybe there is not enough enemies around. But its really great
Love the proc animation! Super fun
The way I screamed when 5 giant lizard ganged up on me lmao. Fun game and of course the animation is very smooth.
Love the lizard legs, it feels very satisfying to move around and eat other lizard, got up to size 8 and so but game gets too difficult hahah
I enjoyed playing the game! Simple but entertaining game-mechanics. I do agree with previous comments that the game makes you wait too long between at the start.
Another note, it is difficult to attack other lizards, especiallly diagoanlly, maybe it's intentional to be a bit difficult?
Simplistic but I see you spent less time on it too.
Good game! I really like the animation of the lizards.
One thing to note was how long i had to wait at the start of the game before any other lizards came for me to eat. Would be more enjoyable if at least one came right at the start so you can jump right in to the game :)
Brilliant animations going on!
