This was fantastic, I think I only made it to level 3 a couple times. I think there is an internal size number that isn't always displayed visually. Sometimes when I hit a creature my color I eat them and sometimes they eat me.

My son, Henri, says "This is really fun!"

HEY REALLY GREAT JOB, I THINK THE CONTROLS WOULD BE BETTER WITH A MOUSE POINTER BUT STILL NICE GAME

Cool game! I saw lua code in there. Curious what tools you used!

This game was super fun, I played it for a super long time!

This was neat! I really like how the enemies eat eachother to grow too, it subtly adds some time pressure. (I wasn't very good though, I made it to level 2 a bunch but died quickly after each time). Also shout out for pico-8 <3

Really cool what you used here. I love pico-8 games and though this was a nice addition to thier library. Art was cool aswell. Reminds me of Agar.io but still good job!

It's cool how all the other entities are trying to eat each other as well, it made it feel like a race. Man, I can't get past level 1! I'm feeling a bit frustrated that I keep dying when I think I'm eating something smaller than me. Nice game, nonetheless!

This was a pretty fun game. I wish that the level ups were mentioned or shown in a slightly different way as I thought I was just occasionally dying when eating something when big. Other than that it seemed pretty polished and done.

@mrpossoms thanks for playing and reviewing. This game is built with PICO-8: https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php

I really liked your game! My only critique is that I felt like I was sliding more than I would have liked to, but overall, it was really fun! I like the simple art too!

Great Game! I loved the retro style, and the arcade-y feel definitely worked to its advantage. My only critique would be to vary the background tile a bit, as it can become straining on the eyes after a while. Nice entry!

Love the pixel art and sound effects :) Nice idea for the theme! Good job!

fun fast paced game, really fun to play. Movement occasionally felt hard to control in the more crowded later levels where the momentum could slide you into other creatures but the instant restart made it easy to get back into the game and catch up

fun game! spend quite some time on it. Would like some background music tho, but overall a fun to play game :) good Work

Pretty fun! Played it surprisingly long lol, the only thing I'd change is to make you able to always being able to eat the same color as you are - sometimes they eat you which is confusing :)

Nice and simple, well done. It has great replayability value. I also like the "boot-up" intro.

stolen-biscuit 2020-04-27 00:32

Fun little simple game, could see myself playing this on the bus or the train! Good work :)

belowzerogames 2020-04-27 04:11

Very fun little game and quite addicting , great job :)

aryanjumani 2020-04-28 18:39

Its a really fun game to play! Some subtle background music could have been given to make the game feel better but otherwise, the game was really great(didn't pass level 1 also cuz I am a real noob)! Although it somewhat reminded me of Agar.io.

Great Agario / Early stage spore feeling. I like the intro animation, and the art idea, really dynamic game, kinda tricky cause it's fast but you constantly need to check if you can eat your enemy or will be eaten. Having a color to show that someone is bigger than you or not as a second information about this is pretty clever. I would prefer a softly slower version or a bit less zoom. I currently feels that i don't have the time to process any information at all cause i'm moving too fast around the world.

Fun game overall !

This is probably already a classic, very well executed with pico-8!

this game makes me hungry!
