Funny tardigrade cannibalism. The theme of 'tiny creatures' literally being the tiniest creatures was a fun take. A little bland at the moment; it needs more development and content

We agree, planning on a few updates soon, thank you for the feedback!

I wish I could hug the other water bears instead of munch on them.

I see the potential of the game but overall I feel its just okay.

Loved the Music

The background being static was really confused me when I was pressing WASD I thought I wasn't moving but glitching out, until I used the other tardigrades as a reference point for my movement instead of the background.

Each tardigrade taking 5 hits feels unfair to the player when they only have 3 hits.

The bite mechanic feels broken as it doesn't really stop the other tardigrades from going towards you that well

The enemies path finding towards the player feels very simple. 

The player has to engage with the enemy to gain points while they just sit around and wait for the player to get close to then attack. That feels weird for the vibe you tried to establish with the description asking to survive but surviving is very easy.

I don't really feel any agency to increase my score when I can just wait till so many enemies spawn that they just come at me in a straight line.

I see no point in a lunge attack at the moment.

I survived for so long and couldn't kill enemies fast enough that it started lagging

Played it 3 times!

Survived: 345 seconds

Enemies Killed: 42

Again I see what you were going for just needs more work. Hope to see it improved!
