An unusual mechanic but easy enough to understand, I wasn't able to make it much further after eating the prawn creature in the third or fourth level. Good Job on releasing your first project.

Developer

Thanks! Btw that was actually a sausage, not a prawn, but I can see how it might look like one haha

This was fun and different! One of the few games I actually played to completion, so well done! 

Developer

I'm really glad you enjoyed it! It’s great to hear that you played it all the way through :D

I like the unusual innovative game mechanics explored in this one! And it is executed very well. The game is short but sweet. 

Great work! :)

Thank you! I'm really happy that you liked it :)

This game in concept is very cool, and I love the really cute, simplistic visual style with its use of only a few colours. However I feel the mechanics are not very well explained to the player at all unfortunately. I couldn't get past the second level as you can't move up very far. I tried curling up on myself which allowed me to reach a little further, but even then my range was very limited. It felt like I was missing something.

I'd be happy to try it again if you wish to explain it a little better. I do think its a good start and a unqiue concept for a puzzle game! Good work :)

Thank you! I used the nes color palette but tried to pick the most colorful ones. And yeah the mechanic is confusing. I wanted to do a tutorial but I couldn't fit the text without it getting over pixelated.

the idea is cool and the artwork is really great but how the hell do you play it? why does it sometimes disappear? why does it sometimes curl up and sometimes not? i guess that's one of life's mysteries. Bravo for your first public project, it's something !

Happy you liked the artwork! I made the body disappear to make the game a bit more challenging but I'm still learning, so some bugs slipped through.

Feels a bit wacky at times and some of the puzzles need polishing, but I do like the idea and I think there is a lot of potential for this.

True, Glad you liked it. yeah I'm not the best at designing levels

I still can't get that dog to go where I want it. Well done on your game.
