Generally I love the concept to eat smaller things which at the same time makes us get bigger. I just wish there was something more to it in this game.

Not bad for you second game :) Waaaay better than your last 'entry', good job!

BOING!
BOING!
NAM NAM NAM!
NAM NAM NAM!
Made my day. Graphics are okay, game was fun. Sadly if you had a size, nothing can kill you - so a gameplay tweak would be nice to harden the progressed gaming. You should improve the collision with the right screen border so it looks like on the left side (use the rectangle.Left + rectangle.Width instead of rectangle.Left only). And the dots moving on the info interface at the screen's bottom (pink area) - this would I fix, too.

Sound is awesome :D very simple, but fun. Good job!

This looks a copy of a game i saw last time ago in a flash game page. How was its name??? Not cosmic crush, i cant find it, before cosmic there were another with rectangle faces. Smile face = you can eat, angry faces = they eat you.

Finally found the game, Hungry Blocks :)

Nice simple idea, got a lot more fun at the end when there were several large enemies and staying alive is a challenge.

Simple and fun idea but too hard to catch the little buggers! Kudos for the sound effects!

Nom-nom-nom! The sound effects added a lot to the overall mood, and the game is simply fun to play. My biggest problem, that you capped the score at 500... I would have been great to eat EVERYTHING! :)

Nom Nom Nom...Oh Nooooo ha ha ha...

Interesting idea - there are lots of games in this LD which use the concept of eating to grow, but this is the first one I've seen where the 'enemies' are doing the same thing!

When I first heard the 'boing!' sound, I thought it was going to go into http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyxC8DzjQj0 !

Fun entry to play. Not a lot of complexity, but it works. Some balance problems, as others have mentioned - you can end up with a ginormous green opponent pretty quickly, or you can grow yourself so big that it's not much of a challenge. There was something funky with right and bottom collisions for the non-player blocks. Fun, though! Good work.

requires XNA4 which crashes under WINE so can't test

Another Linux user. Can't play.

Very cute game. I like the eating mechanic, but I wish it was deeper.
