I love the venus model and animations!
The stem and leaves generation looks pretty cool too.
Wish it had some audio though, would add a ton moodwise.

Very cool idea. Lacks the motivation though. There should be some goal or some life bar or something. But great execution.
graphically its great, the controls could feel a little faster and i think that would make it more fun. the lack of sound really took away from the overall through, i liked the growing mechanic but felt as a game it really only kept my attention for a minute.
maybe some kind of goals could appear, instead of dying you could shrink when you don't have enough flies, and you have gaps you have to be small enough to fit through sporadically or creatures you have to be big enough to scare away,
Wow. I have no clue how that procedural generation stuff works, but well done!
While I was thinking about the jam theme I remebered about this film, 'Little Shop of Horrors'. Cool
Thanks so much for playing guys! Yeah totally agree I need to add more gameplay and music/sound would be awesome. Hope you enjoyed the visuals though :)
Great feeling with this game. Well done !
I enjoyed this, it kinda feels like a small interactive art piece.
it definatly would need some progress/life/foodbar. right now i have no idea what i´m.... wait, a fly *nomnomnom*
Well this is experience! Alright, yes, no audio and score or something, but damn, look at this epic ending and monster-plant growing animation. You did a really nice job, I mean it.
That you so much for the kind words guys, massively appreciated :D
That you = Thank you! Editing comments would definitely be a good feature...
Nom nom nom!
Really nice rendering of the plant! Congrats!
I enjoyed this game a lot! It felt very satisfying to chomp my way through clouds of flies with my ever-growing jaws. I got HUGE, and could really feel the weight dragging down on me. Wish there was some indicator, though, how close I was to death at any given moment. Maybe a gauge or something at the bottom. Anyway, loved the low-poly style! Nice work incorporating both themes so well, too!

As prev said, a subtle motivationnal hint, a bit more backdrop would make it deeper. Very nice entry.
At first I thought it would go on forever and with no score visible I wasn't having much fun. But then when I finally stopped being able to reach any flied I realised I could lose so I went back and tried again. Not bad, I would have enjoyed more if there was sound and a score.
Great animation! Feels really good to chomp these pesky flies :3
A really good feeling, simple but really cool !
Thank you !
Really cool game and nice idea.
The plant is great. The spawning and growing leaves. the twisting of the trunk. Found myself just staring at it. Maths is beautiful.
Nice concept and very indeed creative, I hope it can be more extreme :).
Nice job btw.
Good game, good graphics. Unfortunately, the game does contains information about my score or life or anything. :( I haven't goal. Another negative thing is the sound. :(
Thanks so much for the feedback! I deliberately didn't include score as I wanted this to be more of an experience rather than a traditional game, but I can see now more feedback (of some kind) is needed to guide the player. Totally agree sound and a nice backdrop are really needed and hope to add them soon :)
Give me a score!!! This fly crunching feels so nice but it would be so nicer if it made a number go up! Looks amazing too. Great!
It would be nice to have a goal, score, or an indication of how big the plant grew when you die. I like the concept and I think adding sound effects and some goal or scoring would take it up a few more notches. Neat idea.
Yeah you're right! Gonna add a score :D
I really liked the procedural low-poly plant! Its definetly missing a background though - mood-wise and for making the flies more visible. Also missed the opportunity for munchy sounds or some procedural music ;) Some obstacles and a goal/motivation would spice up the gameplay.
Pretty neat game, low replayability tho :( at least for me, the graphics are awesome tho so good job on that <3 and was fun while it lasted, you can always have some "fly murderer" moments
A High Score system would be a necessary addition. I like the swarming flies though. And you combined the themes which is cool.
My game is also about growing flower! I love the tech around your game. I also agree player needs some kind of motivation like health bar and maybe changing speed.
Very cool little game! I really love how it grows. And pretty much the same as the other comments said - needs replayability ;)
Great take on the theme, probably the simplest game I played so far but pretty entertaining. I love the design of the venus fly trap. It doesn't seem to have any sound though.
Nice game. Gameplay is great.
Nice plant)
What makes this game so good is that it is simple in its gameplay.
Cool to see the animation and growth of the plant, is challenging to catch the flies at first. Good job! :)
man, that vine visibly twisting really makes this games feel polished, nice job!
Great game man! I really liked the low-poly art style and the particles of blood popping out of the blue dots (fairies to me).
The twisting plant sure adds some mood to the game!
To bad it didn't have any music or points!
Great job man, keep up with your great work!
Once again thanks to play our game!
I sure felt like a twisting growing Venus fly trap. Cool concept would love to see it taken further.
Gorgeous graphics, relaxing, beautiful experience overall.
Liked it a lot! The download gave me a 404 error though (tried it after the webGL version lagged.
I agree - cool animation, and the lack of some form of motivation - Health to gain/lose as eat/grow. Escaped flies. Also, sound would help set the mood more. Awesome models, and game play (what was there) was rather cool.
Really nice idea! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/S5oK4fsls3Q
