The game was too difficult, your body felt way too out-of-control to try and avoid danger and the enemies fired too quick, to the point where if you didn't shoot and hit them before they took their first shot then you're pretty much guaranteed to die. Also when the player got down to just a head they were completely useless, I would give the player another way of regaining their tail other than killing enemies (which at that point is impossible).

Developer

Thanks for playing my game, yes the game is too difficult for sure,  I didn't understand that while I was testing it, I hope I could fix that after the jam ends.

A very interesting game! I really liked the graphics and the overall idea behind it, but it could use some tweaks. When you're big it punishes you, as you can't move around freely without getting cut in half (or stuck), but it punishes you when your small because you die in few hits and you can't see the enemies. Overall, I'm really liking this one, well done!

Developer

Thanks for playing my game, I'm really happy you enjoyed it and I'm planning to fix all those tweaks you mentioned after the voting period ends! Good luck, and thanks again.

Very pretty and cool concept. Great job :D

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I like the concept of the game! Quite original, but as other people may have said, it's quite hard to move around with your entire body flailing around XD   Perhaps make the map a bit wider? Just a suggestion :P   But anyway, great work! The concept is there but with some more time, work and QA, it'll turn out to be a good arcadey style game!

Thanks! Yea, I already changed the map and made the body much easier to control, so after the jam ends I'll upload new version),  thanks for leaving a comment and playing my game!

It is very original, but it is quite impossible to dodge the projectiles sometimes, and there are some glitches.

Developer

Thanks for playing and commenting! Im planning to fix all those glitches Andre decrease the difficulty

I luv the artwork but it the shooting effect is a little excessive but that comes with game jams. Overall Pretty noice!

Developer

Big thanks! Yea, I made the shooting effect like to make player feel power in every shot.

Great game with the artstyle and the idea like this.

Developer

Thanks! Hope you enjoyed

Nice shooting effect well done

Submitted

The idea is very cool, and I really liked the artstyle, the only thing thats annoys me is the player movement, but overall is a nice game ^-^

Submitted

I liked the idea of the game; however, some points could be improved. The game required very precise movements, but the character was difficult to control. I felt like I missed a strategy to navigate those tighter areas. Adding to the difficulty, the player's body was ammo. You needed ammo to defend yourself but having ammo makes you harder to control. When you have a lot of segments you can see you surrounding better, which makes shooting detrimental. The more you shoot, the less you can see.

If you could make movement more manageable, it would greatly improve this game. Also, consider keeping the camera at a fixed zoom. Especially, if the player becomes more agile with fewer segments. Visibility is important with fast motion.

However, with that said, I think this game was nice. I managed to find the end. Also, controlling a flailing worm is quite fun. And the effect for adding segments had a nice punch to it.

Big thanks for playing and analyzing my game so deep, I'll notice most of advices and improve the game later, especially the difficulty and level design to make it easier to go through them, but I'm not sure I'll change the movement controls, because the idea was to make player fell like something wrong is with his body,  and so he'll need to study and start feel his mass correctly and control it well, just like a parasites, but thanks for such a clear comments about the camera, other controls and etc!

Submitted

I have to admit I spent a bit trying to read the instructions. The movement is kinda frustrating, I always managed to hit the first spike or the second, but I enjoyed your idea, it reminded me of the first part of spore but with a larva theme hahah

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Yes, I'll increase text resolution and dramatically will decreace the difficulty of the game and levels.

Submitted

The cover image looks really cool! The game itself is pretty challenging. I always kill half my body on the first spike and my body got stuck in a wall once and I had to sacrifice some parts to break free. Being small is very dangerous, I move so fast but can't see very far so I always just run into a spike. I got the sense of exploration because there seemed like many paths to explore. Great job on the game!

Developer(+1)

Big thanks! I'm really happy you enjoyed the exploration process, the game actually is too difficult, so after the jam end Ill fix this and wall bug!

Submitted

Very cool game. Loved the unique concept

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Very cool concept, I don't think I've seen the theme done that way before with the parasite idea I love it, very cool art style too but I wish the colours we're clearer, great job

Developer(+1)

Big thanks! I'm happy you enjoyed!

This game is so hard, even epic gamer me can't beat it. The art is very pixelated, making it a bit hard to see. The shooting mechanic is pretty cool but it's hard to find places to re fill the bullets and I always die in the proccess of looking for one cuz the camera is so zoomed in I can't see things around me.

I think the game would be lot better if you tone down the difficulty and makes things easier in the beggining. But overall a decent game :)

Developer(+1)

Yes, very sorry for this imbalance, I know the game is too hard event for Epic Gamers, I also didn’t get all things in time(mini map, biting without bullets), so don’t worry you are still epic gamer, I hope I’ll fix all this later and thanks for playing my game!

Submitted

Hi! The game was a blast! But also PAIN!!!! AAAAHHH These creatures are very annoying, the only thing i would add for the game is Sounds and Camera control so you can see where they come, however the game is very good, your body feels like a true parasite ,  i think losing your body being unable to shoot is frustrating :S, maybe you can shoot tiny things with less damage the shorter you get, that's one cool idea there.

Awesome Game! :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and giving such a constructive comment! Yea, those creatures are kinda too powerful, about the sounds I just forgot about them)

Submitted

I liked it, main criticism is the text resolution.

When I work low resolution, I like to render the UI to a separate, higher (usually double what I'm rendering the screen at) resolution rendertexture, then apply it again as a PostProcess.

Developer(+1)

Yea I understood I did something wrong with the resolution), thanks for playing! I'll make sure to fix this issue next time!

Submitted

The art is really nice, but the text is unreadable and the game is quite confusing and hard. A clear tutorial would help in clearing that up!

Developer

Okay, thanks for playing my game! I’ll make it more clean to understand and decrease the difficulty
