  • Good puzzle game! Well designed game overall.

Did you include your Game Design Document in your downloadable files?
Yes

Tell us about your game!
The Creature Must Grow is a puzzle game where the player must place new growth tiles on the board in the correct configuration so that no tiles overlap and all spaces on the board are filled by the end of the stage. The growth tiles, when placed, 'grow' off of the adjacent creature tiles so when you place a new block, the creature grows. Each stage is larger in scale than the last. The first is the creature eating a prokaryote from the inside out, the next is it filling a petri dish, then it breaks out of the petri dish and spreads across the table, and so on.

I only completed 5 levels but plan for more.

Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
Yes

Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes

Extra Notes
This was fun! I learned a lot as this was the first game I brought anywhere near to "completion". Thanks for the opportunity and for broadening my horizons.

Lastly, im pretty sure, due to a bug, the last level in my game isn't possible to complete. That and some of the mechanics aren't implemented correctly but I have 5 minutes until the deadline soooooooo yeah.
