I really like the zooming of the background. The fact that most impacts made you smaller was great. I just didn't like the death ray killing you instantly. Good game - well done!

You got nearly a perfect score from me. Lots of fun, and VERY polished. Good job!
Nod bad game. It is solid and have good graphic. I played something similar on iPad but it definitely has some fresh ideas.
The graphics are really great, nice work while being minimalist. Dodging everything is a lot of fun but the instant deaths make things pretty difficult. Perhaps save the rays of death after the player is further into the level.
Simple but fun game. Fits the theme well.
Really fun game. There was just so much stuff going on and i didn't really understand what the different thing were doing.
Reminds me of the cellular stage of Spore. Pretty good!
Everything about this game looks, sounds, and plays beautiful.
Fun little game, it gets quite hard when there are small spikes left over. Like the concept a lot!
Great job, the 2 players mode is very fun !
Woooow!! Sooo good!
Really fun and good rythm. The fact that spikes are immortal the center of the screen a dead zone that you always want to avoid. I dont know how you could fix this, if you make the small spikes vanish too fast you will loose the zoom feeling.
Thanks everyone for the positive feedback !
@Benjamin : Actually, the smallest the enemies, the less damage they do compared to your own size, so you can clear the screen of little objects without too much trouble. The laser also clears everything in its path :)
Fun arcade game, really like the music and there's a cool sense of scale. :)
Whoaw, didn't expect that! Cool game with great visual effects and engaging gameplay. Good job!
Cool take on the theme! Reminds me of Agar.IO
I also like the music!
A really fun and polished game. I liked the zoom effect and the controls were tight. Good work :)
Nice Audio, cool game
Great job, this game is fun and hard! It really becomes problematic, that this little spikes stay as dangerous as when they were as big as the player. But I think this brings a nice gameplay! ^^
The look and feel of this game are amazing. I got absorbed in the frantic gameplay immediately. Looks very polished.
Really fun game, you dont see the time passed. 2 player feature is a plus. But once I got the game over menu without being dead. And please think of those who dont have qerty keyboards!
Awesome little game. At first I was confused, there were little balls appearing out of nowhere, but then I started to move around and suddenly MINDSPLOSION! EVERYWHERE! :D
Fun! Loved the zooming scope as you grew - made it very satisfying to grab a bunch of blobs in a row. A little bit strange that you sort have to hit the obstacles eventually - I didn't initially realize that hitting them when you're much bigger is basically fine (in fact, when they're small and numerous it often seemed to be best just to bulldoze them when it's relatively safe). Otherwise, a great example of a simple game with fantastic feedback from from sounds and visual. Music was good too.
The controls don't work that well of this type of game, it needs something like a mouse or joystick for diagonal movement. But the art is nice!
Really nice game, it feels very polished and is pleasant to play. Also it seems to have a lot of content which is impressive for a game jam game.
Great job! :D
I was really into it!
the effects were well done and the music was amazing!
I like that there were different modes.
nice, awesome game :D love it! great arcade action, love how the level grows with you, very clever, well done :)
That was fun! I preferred the second mode more as it gave you even more sense of urgency.
I love this game, the ever-expanding scale is very cool and Go Fast mode really gives you a sense of urgency. Rates highly on all metrics as far as I'm concerned.
My #1 favorite game title so far. Blobitronica is just fun to say :). Good use of the theme. Great job.
Great game. Had a bit of an agario feel - with traps. Very polished for a jam game. The trap placement could perhaps use another balance pass
Great take on the theme, great visual effects and overall, a fun gameplay experience. I think the game needs to give some more feedback to the player as to what is happening / when he is being damaged / etc., but besides that I had a lot of fun playing this one, as you could see on the stream.
@crucknuk Oh I didnt notice it on my first tries ! This is clever ! Totally worth an extra innovation star :)
it so colored and luminous! Fun
With simple graphics you've made a good game. Good job!
Game-design wise this one has lots of cool calls. Really enjoy it. Congrats!
Great game. Really loved how it kept zooming out and the use of the theme.
Well done!
The graphics are awesome, growing out, but not getting more space, was an interesting mechanic.
I like the camera zooming away as you grow, though having to hit the obstacles once they're too small for you is kind of weird, maybe make obstacles move around and have them go away once they're too small.
Good job!
Nice game, very addictive, and the musi is great!
Funny game :)
smells like teen spirit:)) good idea!
This was a lot of fun! Definitely very thrilling. I loved the aesthetic, and the "Go fast" mode; I think an even faster mode would be lots of fun! The death ray feels a little unfair, but overall the rest of the game is awesome.
I think the idea was the two player but the game would be better played with a mouse
The zoom idea was awesome and I had great time playing it.
The infinite zoom effect a la Pix the cat is a really nice touch, gives a lot to the game feel. Well done!
Neat idea! Pretty effects!
The ball was a bit too slippy on the controls for my taste, but it was fun nonetheless. Good job!
Well done! Only issue I have is it seems like the food frequently spawns where you have to hit a trap to get it.
The scaling is amazing, really nice game!
The music was awesome. The GoFast mode really feels like the way to go. It is more arcade like and faster paced. Also playing two player modes with one person is also an interesting challenge I think everyone should try!
OK, I'll settle with a highscore of 60.
Fun game! I'm quite amazed by how simple and effective graphics and audio are. The game also is amazingly polished, with tons of tweens, little animations and SFXs...
Great job!
Good job, loved the graphics and the camera :)
Love the fractal nature of the game...it gives a cool sense of scale to the experience. The controls were a bit too floaty for me, especially as the game got harder. It there was less acceleration in the movement, I think it would increase the skill ceiling nicely and make the gameplay feel more intentional.
Simple controls and challenging gameplay! It was fun with a friend. Graphics, sound and music were very nice. Good job!
Well polished game! The controls are weird in the way they respond, and at the same time very intuitive. You don't see that everyday. Great music too! You can walk away from LD34 with pride
Very cool!
Impressive! I think it's very polished even for the Jam.
The conecpt is very cool and is quite addicting. Plus, there are diferrent modes!
Good job!
This game is really tense, but fun. It kept me going, and that's really cool. I also like the graphics. But it also had me on the edge of my seat.
This is great! The music's amazing, it looks gorgeous and the difficulty has a nice ramp-up.
Kind of confused about how bubbles can spawn inside spikes though - it seemed like it was usually but not always a good idea to take them even if it hurt.
I knew there'd be a lot of Osmos/agar.io style games in the Growing theme. This is the best one I've played so far, its a great twist on the concept. The constant zooming out and escalation of hazards appearing makes it frantic and keeps you on your toes. Excellent presentation too.
Very fuuuun!
Fun, fast-paced game, I like it. It gives a good sense of growing massive!
Addictive game,
Nice art and sound, fits the theme well!
Congratulations!
I wasn't a big fan of the menu graphics, and I didn't know what to press to select an option in the start menu.
The game itself was really fun, although the controls felt a bit too slippery for me.
Original game!. Good Job.
Perfect for theme, impressive graphic and background, well done!
Whoa! Awesome job! Best jam i've seen yet!
This was a lot of fun! Really cool game idea and very well executed. I think maybe you should be able to absorb the very small spike balls at a certain point, though, because the middle gets kind of cluttered otherwise. Super cool, great job! =D
Love the arcade vibe of the game. I can see myself playing something like this when I was a kid in the 80s. Well done
Cool how the level is like a fractal, constantly zooming out, nice and original. No octopi this time :'(
Nice Osmos clone! Enjoyed the fast mode!
OMG this game is fun and original, i like the music and graphics. Good job bro. :D
Nice looking game, plays smoothly, and the music really tied it all together. Not terribly innovative but awfully fun. I wasn't able to test 2 players so I hope I'm being fair in just rating it on the single player mode; two players seems like it would be a blast.
Nice game! Liked the Go Fast mode in particular - definitely a great variation on the classic Spore/Feeding Frenzy style gameplay. Graphics and music were also great!
Love the zooming mechanic, great great work for 3 days!
Great entry! The music helps keeping a fast pace, graphics are minimal but clear (I really liked the zoom-out effect) and gameplay is simple but effective, polished and addicting! :D
had a great fun with a friend. excellent theme and decent polish. did you know you can continue playing after game over screen? good job.
Pretty awesome game :D twas very hard yet still satisfying and I loved the style along with the zoom effect :)
Nice job, really like the way everything is getting smaller and smaller. Congrats
Really amazing, quite frantic, great audio and graphics too. Keep up with the awesome work!
This is really impressive for a jam game! Multiplayer, two modes, a cool music, nice graphics! GG! It was fun to play!
This is fun and nice and polished. The zooming out effect worked really well and added to the feeling of growing. Thought it was a great use of the theme.
Pretty fun concept, great use of the theme plus brilliant soundtrack. Also GoFast mode is insanely addictive (My best was around 56).
I like the idea and the realization is polished and well made. I get how the game can be enjoyed, but I personally found it a bit aggressive. It might be the music, or SFX, or overall pace of the game. I don't know.
Anyway, that's great work here, Congrats!
I rated you quite well, even if it's not the type of games I enjoy :-)
You got the zooming out done very well... I actually wanted to make something with zooming out too, but it turned out to not fit my expectations. Anyways, Overall a cool and finished game!
