Music was very relaxing, liked the idea that eating different creatures improved different abilities. Performance wise, the game was a little jittery running on Firefox. Other than that, very nice game! :)

This was definitely a good fit for the themes. I thought the music was a perfect fit as well, especially with the background (which did flicker occasionally, but it wasn't a big deal.) I also noticed that the screen seemed to "flicker" every once in a while, not sure what would cause that -- this was the web version. Anyway, great job!

Too confused visualization.
Spore-like gameplay, but it's realy about 'Growing'

NIce interpretation of the theme. But you need to spend some tile polishing gameplay and visuals. Not sure if it was just my browers, but the camera was jittering constantly and it took me out of the experience. also the movement speed and turning speed are very slow. Im sure you were going for relaxing, but it just became frustrating.

You have a good base here, just need to spend some time on your polish and re look at you background to make your character and food/enemies stand out and i believe you will have something good here. Keep up the hard work!

Very nice atmosphere, although the visual and movements are a bit weird. The idea totally fits the theme, but controls are very slow at the beginning (I guess this is intended as we are suppose to grow and have better capabilities on the long run). And after a few minutes of play, it seems the character was so big that he stayed vertically and I couldn't rotate anymore (maybe due to the physics collision with rocks?). Anyways, very zen indeed :)

Great graphics for well known game. The gameplay is rather slow in the beginning but it gets better.

I liked the music! It contributed to create a relaxing mood. I could not see what was going on at first, the changes in the background where a bit confusing. Nice game play though. Nice work! Congrats.

The jitteriness of the camera makes it pretty hard to play but I like the concept a lot.

Nice background effects that go well with the music.

Cool music. Camera was a bit stuttery - not sure if it was framerate or something else.
