I like the feed animation very gruesome those poor orange men :(

Fun game. Cheesy. But you missed a blatant opportunity to name the game "The creature from the DEEP must feed his sheep."

Like the feeding animation

I quite like the concept

Game speed feels a bit slow paced, but the idea is very nice. Does give me the feeling of hunting those dudes ;)

This game was really cute lol the burrowing was a little bit wonky but otherwise nice job

Gameplay would gain a lot with faster movement but anyway, it's a really nice entry, perfectly fits the theme and the mechanics are innovative, great job!

Nice idea! But it took me some time to find out, that i could move also through the grey blocks ;)

Wow, innovative twist on a stealth platformer!
Love the main character graphics, and that feed animation!

Could have been a nice idea to restart from the most recent level if you died, but on the other hand it increases the difficulty.

Also the restart key R is too close to E and F :P

Very nice job!

Very cool!

I found the controls a little bit awkward, but may be it's me!

@puckers & asotelo94 - the feeding animation was a ton of fun to draw, it's my favorite part of the entire game!

@reidrac - I could understand that since all the buttons needed to play the game are accessible with one hand.

@orangepascal & Oddly shaped pixels - Thanks for your comments I really appreciate them! I do agree the player moves slow in the game, when playtesting was feeling like a chore I should have sped it up. Oh well!

When I saw the instructions on the screen I though the game would be a little hard to control, but it was very smooth! It was very intuitive which is good. Congrats! Now a bug report: on the second level I was standing below a guy and pressed F without pressing W, the sound of eating came out but no animation. I did it a few times and when I finally did it right I won the level. Seems like it counted the same guy several times.
