Hey!

The game looks great, the controls are pretty nice and the design is really likable. 

Now there  are  two bugs I want to report: 
 • When you remove a part, it's ability icon stays
 • The AI is pretty impressive, but still needs some work: when an enemy sees a green blob inside a wall, it tries to get to it through the wall.  When you get behind an enemy, frequently ij just starts to ignore you.

Still love the game, keep up the great work!

Firstly, I've been getting some weird crashes and frame rate dips, though that could be because I'm playing on the browser version. Still, these issues ought to be worked out.

Might just be because I'm bad, but there's a bit of a major difficulty spike after the tutorial. I seem to just get violently demolished by clawed creatures, with just about no food in sight.

But this is a nice concept, and the execution is almost there! Keep going!

There is a few bugs here and there like the leach glitch ware it launches across he map then I start lagging and have to I have to refresh the page but its a great game, nice work, please add more races and parts, thumbs up from me.

The game is great but there is a bug where it spawns me in a wall and on a piece of a diffrent factions block or building piece.The game is great and i hope that it can get better.

Feedback: I can't get the game to Run, I get the launcher to open, select my options, hit play, than it quits.

I think you should make it so you can't get a part without a unique ability when you defeat a boss, because it's always disappointing when you beat the boss and get a basic connector, or a worse version of a part you have.

Because one time i was the one with the repair ability with its connectors, and i got a basic connector, when in a different one I had both the push-eater, and the bomb eater, making a cannon.

This will add a layer of consistency, knowing that beating a boss will make you stronger.

Oh, and this happens only after I add parts.

This game is AMAZING. 
1 (and a half) suggestion(s), though: 
I know that in reality, a Siphonophore's zooids are basically only individuals by concept, and don't actually do whatever they want, (or maybe I read the wikipedia page wrong... oops...) but maybe it would be interesting if, once the main-control-zooid-thingy was killed, the other, remaining zooids would still struggle and kinda fight back (e.g., the claw randomly snipping, jets propelling), and maybe, if enough zooids survive long enough and/or somehow collect enough nutrients/health-orbs, a controller-zooid could even regrow?

And maybe it would look a bit nicer if, on the growth-mode tutorial, instead of always showing the "Shelly" structure zooid, it showed the currently selected parasite's control-zooid? (In the screenshot below, not sure if you can see it, but the parasite breed is Advena )

Love the GUI layout update btw, you're a legend 👍

sorry for making this unnecessarily long .__.

Nice game you have here, I look forward to see how it evolves.

Now on to the feedback:

1.For the love of SWEET BABY JESUS,  stop spawning enemies out of nowhere next to the player.... It's really annoying and gives the feeling of an unwelcome element of luck that can cause you a premature game over with little that can be done about it. If you still wanna do that then do it off screen, or make a visible, delayed warning sign like bosses do.

2.The zooming distance is a bit small compared to how easy enemies can ambush you. Getting jumped from behind by a second enemy is pretty shitty. 

3. Some parts differ only in appearance, the connectors are a good example. Maybe tinker the stats so that different zooids from different species have different stats. Example: species 1 connector: 1 and 2/ species 2 connector: 2 and 1. Same for all other parts, different stats to make the races more interesting.

4.This is just an aesthetic, but changing the color scheme of a zooid of another species to the one of your own core/species would look better than making a frankenstein creature like you do now.

5.An armor block zooid? A plancton collector that generates nutrition over time? A directed shock emitter that disorients enemy zooids? A pheromone zooid that pacifies enemies for a short while? A storage unit that is heavy and frail but holds lots of resources?

Think outside the box, don't just have connectors/movers/weapons/mouths. 

6.The Ai is good at pursuing and running away, but clumsy at avoiding terrain and untangling creatures from one another. The bosses are pitifully easy because of this.

7.Optimize the game pretty plox. The frame rate can  suffer near multiple whirlpools/large number of enemies/very large creatures like the box fortress beasts in free roam.

8.The ui and menus are really bland compared to the rest of the games aesthetics.

9.The music is chill and nice, a good direction given the games nature.

Thats all I can think of right now. Good luck and keep at it.

This is awesome!

     This game is my favorite itch.io game so far, I really enjoy the combat and being able to build your creature as you progress. The game looks great and the controls are pretty good! The game is very challenging and takes a lot of time to build a creature that can defend itself and attack, so your all good with the challenge! I do like the collision, like if you place two spikes facing each other they collide when they hit. This brought along a few problems, if one of my melee weapons hit each other they either, get stuck on each other and then are unusable, or they start shaking violently. Other than that I love what you have done with this game, I have a few ideas to enhance the game. Here's a few, after killing a certain amount of creatures with a weapon it upgrades the weapon to be slightly stronger. Making a new creature that is faster than the others but it is weaker than others. Making a new creature that can spit of mini versions of itself that are very weak, but when you have a lot surrounding an enemy it suddenly becomes harder to get rid of them all. The creature would have average defense and no weapons but the creature summoner. I hope you like some of these ideas, thank you for making this game and if you have a team I thank them too!
