It is quite a difficult game. but well made. good work

Technically you use 3 buttons because you have set r to restart. :P

Other then that, the game is fun. I like the art style.

@Dalkor As I was submitting it I had a filling someone would bring up the restart button debacle. xD

Controls are pretty finicky, I needed time to get used to them. And I agree with Dalkor, you could have used one of the two buttons to restart instead of assigning a third button. Other than that, that's a nice concept and I enjoyed my time playing.

It's difficult but it's fun, I like the art! This is a good entry!

I re-enabled Flash for a bit just to play this. It's worth it.

Initial learning curve is pretty steep, but things get more interesting after the first dozen or so deaths.

Especially lovely is the variety of changes that creatures can undergo, from the drill-eels losing their tail to the jellyfish becoming jelly-bumps, then joining into jelly-walls. These little surprises, and the emergent complexity of the situation as things progress, are excellent.

I loved this entry. Overall good things, but I didn't hear audio... but judging by the lack of comments about audio, it might have been on my end?

Didn't get any audio, that was a bummer. It was strangely addictive though.

Great game! I like how you mapped all the controls (move, jump, dash) to two buttons and it still works somehow.
The audio didn't work for me.

Great game, interesting use of the theme, it was a tough challenge to get a high score as it progressively gets harder which I like. I didn't hear any audio which was a little upsetting as a game like this would totally suit some great audio whilst playing. Other than that really nice game

Nice game - really funny :)

This is great! The two-button controls are just lovely, intuitive and deep. I loved learning how the enemies work through experimentation. It kept me coming back even after a few rage-inducing moments with the drill-worms. Love it!

Cute graphics! The game gets hectic a bit fast, or maybe I'm just bad at the game...
I enjoyed it but some sound would make it a lot better ,I think.
Good job!

Just wanted to let you know, this is the only game so far I've come back to this LD to play just for fun. That's a rare thing, so kudos for that!
