Aren't the monsters you are eating also innocent people that were turned into monsters? Wouldn't that make you just as evil as the wizard for killing them? :P

Btw. It's quite easy to jump out of the left side of the world in level 3, which causes you to fall endlessly.

Ehm... I guess you're right, but then again it's not that you have to be the good guy. :-)

Thanks for the hint. I noticed that just after I submitted. Also I forgot to build the lighting. :-)

Nice usage of lightning and fun level design.

Awesome atmosphere! Great use of lights.

Pretty cool game, I like the aesthetics. Solid game mechanics. Nice entry.

Pretty neat, reminds me of Agario.

I got an error in every level about the lighting being "built", but I see you already know that.

Really hard to finish ! But really cool entry

Thanks. I wish I had more levels. I have left the level making for the last few hours, but then I realized I had a bug with the eating logic. That leaves me with 4 "tutorial" levels and only 2 challenging ones.

I think the mood was spot on for this. Unreal brings a lot to the table with lighting and overall feel. I think the jumping could have been tighter - but maybe I just home in on those darn spikes!

Good job for your first try. Keep up the good work!

Beautiful backdrop and interesting mechanics! The particle and lighting effects look really good. I lol'd at the "this monster is red" text... haha good way to fix a potential issue!

Nom nom nom nom. I like the mechanical aspect of the game. Caught me off guard the first time!

Really nice, the atmosphere was great and the different mechanics works quite nice.

Really like the graphics, the smoke effect is also really neat!

The graphics are good, and the gameplay has a solid foundation.
One issue is that the gameplay actually got annoying to the point where I quit, I think it was level 6. There was this one spot, and I had no idea how to get past it.
Also, I would recommend you do something with the lights/particles on the creatures to make the colors more clear. If you have to have text saying what color an enemy is, you've done something wrong =\
All in all, though, it's a good game. Well done!
