The controls are really difficult to deal with, all being on one hand and being sticky keys. I tried to use right shift and it didn't work. Loved the idea and the art and music.

I believe I have consumed all the mortals, yes. Yes.
Yessss............
Thanks for playing! I should have been more clear about the controls - use the arrow keys to move, and left shift, left control and space to use abilities. WASD does move the character, but I didn't intend for them to, and I should have taken them out.
Nice job, I loved the jumping mechanic.
The controls are annoying, but this is a really creative idea, a funny premise, and great art, along with a solid soundtrack. Definitely an excellent showing! I'd like to see this expanded on!
Controls were tough, it's true. The game was super charming though. Smart work on the graphics-- color and detail where it matters, easy to read monochrome for everything else. Fun game.
I loved the music and the graphics! The controls, however, were pretty unintuitive and frustrating. But I got the hang of it :)
Reminded me of katamari and I loved it. I'd like to see a version with easier controls tho.
I really liked this one, fun to have to orient yourself to use your different skills. Only problem is the keys open my mac's dashboard during play.
Pretty interesting mechanics and there's something about that song that makes me laugh. Good job!
Very cool, nice to see another Lovecraftian entry :) The mechanics are really interesting, a little bit of Katamari Damacy mixed with Lovecraft. Great job!
Good thing I live alone. My mom wouldn't allow me to play this game. Good game, I give it 666/666.
I also struggled with the controls but enjoyed the game once I got the hang of them; nom nom nom!
Wow! So good game! very nice flame and interesting monster)
Really good, but incredible hard!! Where's YOGO?
Awesome idea! It was fun to play and had a good sense of humor. Really well done!
I really love the little creature and his attributes! I especially liked floating about and jumping off things. The challenge of getting my one-eyed, one-tentacled fellow to bounce and float just where I wanted him to go was a lot of fun, but the difficulty of the task should level more slowly. Also I think the peppy music choice was perfect for the task at hand! Lastly, I found using my pinky to press CTRL to munch on mortals really hard to isolate (especially when holding the shift button to float and arrows to move). So using another finger for eating would have made this task easier. Overall, a really fun experience and my curiosity is piqued! Would love to play more levels if there were some!
Very very enjoyable, but it would be great if there where some dangers, or maybe i didn't play long enough (3-4 levels).
I was sad when it ended, I wanted more! Great job!
This was fun! Cool and simple look, good vibe, creative interpretation of the YOGO theme. There were some clever and surprising moments (the four bugs that you had to eat in order of largeness), and the final level was hilarious. I would love to see it fleshed out into a longer game. Maybe get a better sense of the Arkham beastie's character? (Does he just want to prove that he can be as abnormal and indescribable as any other Elder One?!) Once you get the controls figured out, I feel like it has some serious potential to scale into something really awesome. Agree with nina77 about having the game wait to put you in those trickier situations a little later on...
Overall, well done! I want to see this evolve!
That's an awesome game you've got there! Love the bizarre humour!
To reply to your comment on our game (Lumen): A level that is all glowing grass? That's going straight to our to-do list for the post-ludum version! Great idea!
Loved the humor and the art. Really creative use of the theme. Was disappointed when it ended so soon!
