Good game :D

juaxix 2012-08-26 01:03

haha, i like it, hard and wicked

jamezogamer101 2012-08-26 05:54

Realy fun!

eyehawk 2012-08-26 11:31

Haha! Hilarious and fun game! How did you come up with the idea?

dig 2012-08-26 20:58

Awesome!

funbyjohn 2012-08-27 09:26

Eyehawk: I have no idea. Just started coding the tongue and the other gameplay concepts came to me xD

djcsdy 2012-08-28 01:25

I'm intrigued by the idea of having to compete with my own offspring :).

phocker 2012-08-28 01:29

This was a lot of fun but I am not sure what it has to do with the theme. Nice job!!!

shayl 2012-08-28 02:05

hehe I had a lot of fun with this one, cute sounds too

cataclysmicknight 2012-08-28 03:28

Very fun! LOL cloning, super-long-distance eating and saliva sprays, fun for all here!

simianlogic 2012-08-28 05:06

haha, neat game. i would've preferred mouse controls for the tongue, though!

evilseanbot 2012-08-28 05:21

Genuinely funny. I think you meant to say "mitosis," there doesn't seem to be any sexual reproduction going on (as I interpret it).

kickerua 2012-08-28 07:17

So funny. :)

I like camera movement, especially zoom out when your clone is near.

capro 2012-08-28 08:41

Interesting. I like it, good work.

talslain 2012-08-28 08:48

Fun game (:

jujule 2012-08-28 09:41

Fun but I don't see how the game play relates to the theme.

kyyrma 2012-08-28 09:59

Neat little game. Enjoyed it! If you decide to work on this further, you could think of implementing powerups (longer tongue?) and maybe giving the player a bit more advantage when it comes to evading clones, for example by slowing down gameplay for a split-second before you get eaten.

gama11 2012-08-28 10:13

Funny idea, sadly, I didn't find the gameplay to be all that fun, since it was highly repetitive. Also didn't like the tongue controls too much, mouse could've worked pretty well for that. Music would've been nice.

starmen 2012-08-28 10:26

Considering you made this in such a short time, it did feel really polished. Nice one.

norgg 2012-08-28 12:08

Space HAAAAAAMMMM. Excellent. Got that precious high score for now.

chamberlainpi 2012-08-28 12:58

Haha, the saliva particles are pretty awesome. And the creature noise when your player gets devoured by your clones is funny too.
Nice graphics, I like the way the tongue looks dynamically generated.

stevesefchick 2012-08-28 12:58

Cute, simple, and fun! A little disturbing though!

imef 2012-08-28 16:39

Fun to play! I'm amazed it was made in just one day!

lucars83 2012-08-28 17:57

Fun, but my death came quickly.

funbyjohn 2012-08-28 17:59

@chamberlainpi The tongue IS dynamically generated :P curveTo().

yopsolo 2012-08-28 18:39

Give me a flamethrower, this creature must disapear :D
I had a good laugh, well done :)

refreshcreations 2012-08-28 19:24

Enjoyable, fun game kinda like a mix up between smash tv and asteroids, but with tongues, ha, the controls worked surprsingly well also, got to level 7 with 36200 points.

bemmu 2012-08-28 19:51

I like the fast pace of movement. Controlling the tongue angle with arrow keys felt new to me, so innovation points from that. Suitable graphics (bonus points for parallax stuff in background). Minimalistic audio, but pleasing. I love how the character looks happy after getting some ham.

kato9 2012-08-28 20:01

That's some serious saliva action. Pretty impressive for just a day's work!

Eisdrache 2012-08-28 21:24

Very funny game. A little bit annoying you cannot zoom out to see where your clones are and you can only spot them when it is too late.

charliecarlo 2012-08-28 23:08

This is pretty fun.

pardue 2012-08-29 00:02

Fun to play, funny, and impressive that you did it in one day.

whilefun 2012-08-29 01:38

pretty fun game :) I found the controls and overall game play got repetitive though. Neat idea with the tongue and movement being controlled separately but in parallel

kassoon 2012-08-29 20:42

Cool idea, gameplay was pretty fun, but I couldn't play for very long cause the speed of the scrolling background made me feel sick. I could see the potential though!

revelorenfield 2012-08-29 20:58

Ahah, hilarious :)
Baby version of Lickitung from Pokemon xD ?
Too bad for the music, it adds a nice mood in your post-comp :)

thurig 2012-08-30 07:48

Great humor and a fun game to play.

harusame 2012-08-31 00:54

Funny game :D Good job !

infernet89 2012-08-31 19:32

Cute eyes for the ham is a good reason to play this. Very good work!

pansapiens 2012-09-01 08:49

Amusing :) Good feedback loop with the offspring slowing increasing the threat as you become more successful.

jaj 2012-09-01 18:27

The little details like the space saliva and the cute blink whenever you ate something were really nice. This game would have been so much more awesome with a chaotic soundtrack in the background though! The game itself was really fun.

hamster_mk_4 2012-09-03 22:11

Great reuse of resources, fighting ones self (or clones) is always a surreal experience, doing so as a space ham with a giant tongue is even more so. I don't know whether to praise you, or call for the men in white coats to come and get you. Since I don't have the phone number for the men in white coats, I guess I will have to praise you.

zelen3d 2012-09-04 16:53

Really fun to play! I especially liked the feeling of speed I had, and the way the camera zoomed out and said "look out" when you were near one of your offsprings! And there is such adrenaline rush when you get chased by them!

keenblaze 2012-09-04 19:14

Very nice entry! Love smooth controls and graphics!

chuchino 2012-09-11 23:12

Pretty fun. I would have liked it if you had multiple lives; it seems like I always die as soon as there's enough clones for the game to start getting intense.
