Thank you for playing and making a video!

Thank you so much for playing and making a video! I love it.

There really should be a cooldown timer from the moment you finish consuming a buffalo so that you can't immediately be killed by a rhino, that part escaped me during testing and I'll probably see if I can patch that. I'll also add one or two other background scenes for the intro, sorry the sunrise takes so long haha.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!

Thank you kindly! I'll definitely see if I can get both inputs working.

Thank you for playing!

Cool graphics and music! It's very simple but effective.

Thank you! Unfortunately it doesn't seem like I can change the size of the game, only the viewport on the settings, but I might try and compile another HTML version that's twice the resolution. The desktop version is completely resizable though.

Thank you! The lion gets faster the more time passes as well as the buffalo, so you have to chase them for a while before you're up to speed enough to catch them. It will slow down if you're not holding the A/D keys or L/R arrow keys, so that may be it.

Thank you! As a former lion myself, it's so nice to see another li-human who can relate to this immersive experience.

Hey-hey everyone! After nearly seven and a half years of trying to make a game with Game Maker, I've finally managed to finish and publish one after joining this jam.

It's fairly simple with only 11 levels and an emphasis on an arcade type of gameplay. I was inspired by some of the classic flash games I used to play as a kid back in the day on the website Kongregate, particularly ones where you'd play as some form of worm monster or shark and go around eating people on the surface/sea. I tried to apply everything I learned from the many unfinished projects that I started as well as what I could gleam from gamedev talks and dev videos where people explain "juicing" games.

Any feedback or criticism welcome, I would love to hear people's opinions.

Thank you so much!

I love this! Spectacular, almost minimalistic visual style and a really captivating experience to play through.

I adore the music in this game, I hope you will release the soundtrack at some point, especially the middle/red room!

Thank you! :)

Great game by the way, I found it oddly quite relaxing.

Could I get a music list?

Will you be releasing the music/soundtrack in the game? I love how it sounds like the original Goldeneye N64 music.
