Found one more case where you can get stuck and not be able to complete the game: https://i.imgur.com/DueAcYF.png

That said, this is one of my favorites so far. It's almost reminiscent of bubble bobble. The graphics are simple but effective, the background music is enjoyable

Great game! It feels like a nice puzzle game. Falling is really slow.

Good design.
On the level where the electric monster first appears, when you eat all the small enemies on the bottom level you become to big to fall down, so you cannot eat the final big one and get stuck on that level.

The graphics are great, would be nice if you could Control your char while falling

tiffi 2015-12-14 15:35

Oh and if you polish and bug fix a bit, it would be a great smartphone game

A brilliantly fun little game, Well done.

Good Job, I really like the graphics and music in particular!

Now its really getting huge! (i hope his body can take it)
I also suffered from the "getting stuck on the level" -plague.
I think it was...level 7? It was the level with many little brown enemies and two bigger green ones.
I could eat the bigger ones even though there still was one little guy left. And I couldnt fall through the ground to get to him.
Nice game overall!

Oh, childhood... Well played.

Great recreation of NES-era games! I especially liked the character design. I did get stuck on level 12 or 13 though! Had one dragon left to eat, but got stuck on the bottom layer of platforms. No biggie. Fun game!

Very good puzzle platformer. The pixel art is really nice too. :)

Pretty interesting level design, the game made good use of the mechanics.

Didn't get a screenshot, but got stuck on what I think was level 11 - could eat the Red dragon-looking guy in the middle but there was one little guy going down the side still!

Nice little game, excellently captured the retro feeling :)

Excellent! The game mechanics is simple, but is has a lot of little extensions to be not so boring for a long time. I like different movement patterns of the enemies, shocking and firethrowing abilities of the them, my own ability to bounce jumping on enemy's head. Music and art are very moody.

Unfortunately, I stuck on one level when I ate all enemies except one and was too big to fit into the hole in bottom of screen. I do not remember number of the level and I did't made a screenshot (and I closed the game pressing random keys trying to restart the level), but I can recall that the level has a dragon in the top of screen, big knight at bottom and very small knight over whom you cannot to eat if you are too small. I think a restart button may solve this problem.

Anyway, great work! This game is one of my favorites.

Really nice and cozy, the fall speed felt a bit sluggish but the game was fun.

Great game! The game delayed actual gameplay way too much though. Falling was excessively slow, the eating animation didn't need to temporarily immobilize the player, and the death and respawn could have been much faster. Besides that it's really well done. Sound and visuals are good and the level design and difficulty progression is perfect. Great job!

Very cute! I didn't mind the falling speed that much as it reminded me of how some old games played which fit with the overall style(I especially got a bubble bobble feel). Level design is solid as well!

drzanuff 2015-12-16 04:03

Good concept! When i saw the intro I remembered Pokemon Red XD .

khallane 2015-12-16 11:48

Cool game, finished all levels

jcwelgemoed 2015-12-16 15:00

What cool little game. Loved the graphics, sound and puzzle in general. Great work.

mrmordem 2015-12-16 16:31

Nice little puzzle game, your art style is pretty neat a solid entry overall :)

zeriver 2015-12-16 21:36

Fun game, i really like retro graphics and music vibe. Game is challanging but rewarding when you complete level. Pretty great entry.

beetracks 2015-12-17 04:08

Nice level design! Gameplay was solid for me. The only annoying thing was the music. A suggestion I'd give is to have least two for interleaving each stage. The art is great. I loved the sprites and the starting/ending screen. Very nice job!

oz2mura 2015-12-17 11:23

Catchy chip tune music. Love the cute graphics. Level design is pretty satisfying to figure out the best way to move around, I'd say the challenge of have only one heart would even make it more satisfying. Really enjoyed it.

fluidvolt 2015-12-19 01:55

Could not beat level 10! That said the bouncing and growing mechanic is nice. I like the art and the music fits very well... sounds prehistoric and primitive. Good one.

xhunterko 2015-12-20 00:14

Found a bug where you were too big for the tiles in level 13 so I was unable to finish. However. This is a cute little game!
