Congratulations on submitting! I think the game would have looked just slightly better if you stuck to a color palette with fewer colors, but it still looked really good. The animations when mutating and the death animation looked quite good. Great job!
Great sounds, great animations, and a fun arcade game! Well done
Everything is very cool: gameplay, graphics, sound. The concept is simple, but it works!
Glad you enjoy the core game loop! I think knowing that it works at this stage is going to inspire me to keep adding more layers now that I've got this working as a prototype. Definitely will be brainstorming some more enemy types now.
Also glad you appreciate the sound design! I had a lot of fun adding in those details so everything has a bit of audio feedback to the player.
Thanks for playing!
Absolute masterpiece! It feels a little small, but for a solo developer it's AMAZING
It's a good idea and it's fun to play. Except that the full health regeneration makes things a bit easier. Good job, especially for a solo developer!
Incredible work!
This is a quick and understandable gameplay loop that steadily gets more difficult over time. It's satisfying to sweep your mouse over the enemies you were just being so delicate around, and it really makes you focus to dodge foes at later stages. It's fun, simply put.
Not only is it fun though. It's clear that you put a lot of attention towards player feeling and feedback. Each time you are hit, the damage sound effect pitching down is a way for players to instantly know around how much health they have. Each time your mutation finishes, there's a grace period where you can't be hurt. When the player is wildly flinging their mouse around, they're bound to mistime their mutation, and you anticipated that.
Simple and short, but incredibly well done... And as a solo-dev?! Way to go!
No doubt in my mind this is one of the winners.
This is one of the best games played during this jam, nice gameplay loop, magnificent animations and art style, and nice sounds. Simple but exceptional.
I really enjoyed playing this, great submission! The art and animations were super cool. I liked the responsiveness of the character following the cursor. Good job!
I really enjoyed the pacmanlike concept. It would be great with more enemies.
This is so cooool!! The art and sound are great. It says you didn't make the music but it still works super well. I also love dodging the enemies with my mouse it feels pretty good, though the lerping could be a little less. I think the game doesn't have much of a difficulty curve, maybe don't refresh the health quite so much so that the game is a bit harder. Brilly :D
Thanks so much for playing! I made a few mistakes with the level data right before I submitted at the deadline, so I agree about the difficulty curve and health. In fact a few levels don't even spawn enough enemies to be able to kill you if you get hit by all of them! :P
If I update the game I'll improve the level progression for sure. I appreciate the feedback!
