Really cool! Loved the visuals and the movement of the nematode. The big cells reaching out definitely spooked me, I lasted just over 2 minutes. Nice job!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

That's a cool idea with the visuals. I like it.

But it lacks the extra interactions

Thanks for playing!

Amazing graphics! Nice use of the theme. Well polished.

I just wish there was a bit more to do, or some sense of progression.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I really enjoy how slow the large cells move, very imposing!

Developer

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it!

I loved the way the nematode moves with the controls. Really nailed the "slug" feel. i lasted 80 secs, and was caught off guard when a large cell "reached out" to grab me (a nice touch btw, I was getting complacent). Can imagine it becoming the next agar.io if the nematode grows and you can eat other player's who are shorter than you in a multiplayer mode!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Multiplayer support would be really cool, I might look into that once I've picked up all the skills needed

That was fun to play! You incorporated the theme really well, and I had a strong sense of 'dread' as I was getting consumed by the enemies. Very cool!

Developer

Thank you, glad you liked it!

Lasted 188 seconds! Was really satisfying watching the giant cells try to eat me. Loved the noise they made. Great entry!

Developer

Thanks, the very last thing I was working on was trying to get the big cells reaching out a little smoother which would have looked really cool, alas time ran out

Really nice and polished, solid mechanics and the gameplay actually becomes more difficult the more you play. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Really cool submission, feels like the beginning levels of Spore or something, really liked it!

Developer

Thank you, glad you liked it!
