Took a few tries to figure out - maybe the instructions could've had a picture? But it was fun once I knew what I was doing. My suggestion would be to have a consistent visual language that distinguishes between things you're supposed to get and things you're supposed to avoid.
I was going to ask about the game's connection to the theme. Then I read the top of your description. I'm putting back some theme points just for that :) This was a pretty addictive game. The regular levels were already pretty difficult though so I never beat any of 4, 5 or 6.
This game is oddly addictive! I played it for a long time and love the mechanics.Only thing: In later levels the mob of enemies bunnches up, what then makes them easy to avoid. The UI is ugly, but i like the variation in the graphics - (wonder how you had time for this) - and the levels ramp up the challange nicely. I saw how you streched it into fitting the theme, but the theme could have been hit more nicely. The audio is not overwhelming but better than nothing. And I would have chosen to do a next level screen, so you don't get confused after a level and don't have to head back into the main menu yourself. Overall a good entry i would say!
Took some will power to stop playing, the gameplay keeps you at it for a while and I adore that in games. Great work!
Great game! Super hard but fun enough that I stuck it through the normal levels at least.
Fun game, very hard levels. Something frustrating, when you suck bullet, if they go out of the 'sucking zone' you die.
Great Game! It reminds me of an old game I used to play in which I have to eat small fish in order to get bigger. Good Job!
YES I DID IT!
Wow, this game is really challening. I love it! The graphics are bright and quirky, the "story" is just sick :-)
The gameplay is awesome, it reminds me of the good old times where games were simple but really hard and you had a feeling of real accomplishment once you mastered them. This was the same experience here! Great job!
The nerds were actually the easiest to beat because you can suck them up so early. This makes for a nice relief I feel so I am totally fine with knowing that after the second purse theft round, which I found the hardest level, the nerds would follow in the final level.
Really cool game, again this is so much fun. The sucking mechanic is so easy, yet so satisfying. The final moment when you grow large enough to suck in everything - really awesome! :-)
Great job, keep up the good work!
Nice game! Some things feel a bit unfair, especially if you get bigger and they walk into you. Anyways it really felt addicting! Keep it up, guys!
Pretty cool game. I agree with yall, the theme really sucked, and it's cool to see that you made a nice game anyway. The concept is quite original, I could see it becoming a nice game outside of the jam if you added a bunch of levels.
One thing that frustrates me is the hitbox when sucking projectiles. I often get hit when I thought I would just absorb it.
