I really dig the perspective you have going. I took me a moment to understand what I was seeing and how it related to the game as a whole. (Shai-Hulud-um-dare?)

fun! its an interesting take on the theme, and very nice visually. the overall presentation of the game is very professional, and the soundtrack is great. I only wish the music was dynamic in some way. I didnt find a win condition after playing for a while, so I'm going t o assume there isn't one. it would be nice if that were spelled out somewhere. perhaps if a win condition were added, you could make it so the music tracks switched from the first to the second part when the player was about half way to victory. the planet feels much larger than it is, due to the dark and muddy graphics. adding some camera movement or reducing fog a little might help this. great work overall. this game is much more polished than most submissions I see here, especially for a compo entry.
A nice idea even with a great mood to it and the audio was excellent! Great work!
Don't really know if it's possible to win, turned into a big sna..something twice and died. It's quite hard to find food and quite easy to eat it once it's found, so I didn't liked that part much, since it's not depends on player. I had some fun playing the game though.
I liked the audio, but graphics were strange. Models seem to be good, but I had feeling that I was playing as feces in stomach or something like this. I actually don't think that playing as feces in stomach is bad, but I believe it supposed to be some snake/worm at some planet, maybe you should've chose colors differently.
I like the take on the theme and always enojoy being the monster once in a while :) Some nice polished feel but I don't know if my monitor is bad or what but it was quite hard to see, everything was dark and it felt like I was constantly in a fog or something. Would have loved some kind of progression or an indicator of how much you are eating (I guess the screen color somewhat represents that but) I could not find a wincondition either.
Like other people, I was impressed by the feeling of controls, but I was not sure to figure out what I had to do. When I regularly plunged, I did not starve, so I managed to not collide with my body and plunge, until I could not dodge my body. Overall mood and sound are nice too!
Nice concept, but game has lack of UI or explanation what's going on, i have figured out that steps are food only on 4th or 5th try. Also there is no indication what should be done to complete game or when it will happen.
Nice mood and nice audio ! It's not easy to figure out what's happening and sadly the game was a bit too slow on my PC.
