Fun and neat! Congrats! Mixing an arcade genre with trying to get empathy to our little baby larva is a great idea for this theme.

Good idea Could add more features Maybe like more puzzles or twists instead of straitforward gameplay

Usually I hate escort missions but this is very well made! Its also spot on with the theme. I love that unique art style!

Very good game ! The Larva crying because I was too far made me laugh ^^ With a few tweeks on bullets (damage and speed VS enemy HP and numbers) I can see a very strong game. good job !

Amazing game, i like the retro style, and the art make me think to megaman. The idea to protect the larva and gain experience after feeding etc... really nice for the theme ! Great entry, i enjoy to play that.

I see a lot of games starting too difficult or starting too easy and never adjusting. This felt perfect in the difficulty ramp up. The only thing I think I would've liked to see was some powerups to add more gameplay variety, maybe in a post-jam version if you guys plan to continue working on it. Great job!

I think I'm in the same boat as a lot of people where I can say that I hate escort missions in games, but this one has a different feel to it. Plays pretty well. Would have loved some more variety in what you can do as the player, but it felt solid overall. Quite unforgiving if you accidentally step into a pit, though :'(

Great entry!

This is a great great game! Good graphics, and really fun gameplay. Well done.

Loved this, it felt good to play, and was easy to learn. Maybe something like a stamina system would be good, being able to spam both the abilities and hold down both shooting modes all the time feels OP.

What a great game ! The game feel is top noch and really helps sell the game, the graphics are simple but really well done. Everything feels nice ! The sound and music are good, maybe just a bit less than the rest. I really had fun, good job !

Super fun! Graphics remind me of PS1 days.

Fantastic game! Shocked you were able to do so much in so short a time. Was also unbelievably fun and tweaked. Perfect.

This was surprisingly fun, haha. Very simple concept but balanced well, with a decent amount of game feel for a jam game! Not a whole lot to offer aside from a desire for more content and polish - which you're obviously not going to get from a jam game. Good job!!

Awesome game! trying to get you to 20! graphics, sound, polish! awesome work

A simple and fun little game. I love both the music and visual style. The controls is good, and this makes game feel good to play. Overall is this good jam game. Well done.
