less a sugestion about mechanics but could we get a roadmap for what you planned to add? also inspired by packedrat eh? thats a name ive not heard in a long time, shame how that ended up. wishing you luck in the project.

Why not a zone based around packs where many of the enemies are tied together like all different kobolds with a kobold brood mother miniboss and a dragon final boss with many bad ends for them themed around the idea that you become part of the pack maybe a few where you end up as one of the normal enemies roaming about or being laid as an egg by a breeder to hatch latter. if you want to be extra could have them monster you interacting with the other enemies in different activities to really sell your part of the pack.

Since this is taking inspiration from Packedrat I have a few ideas based on what I think worked well for it that could also work here. Of course I have no idea where you intend on going with the story so many of these might not fit but here they are anyway.

- Being able to bait certain enemies into each other causing them to grapple and use each other like you could with the kobolds in Packedrat.

- Wide variety of enemy types, not just bipedal. I see you've already got a flower type thing which is a nice start. Some ideas for other enemy types could be Insects, Ghosts, Plants, Dragons, Corrupt Machines, living latex (Changed comes to mind) etc,

- Themed zones to house different enemy types. Cursed forest, Slime cave, Abandoned Factory, etc.

are genders fixed or will there be male, female and others as options

Some general feedback time!

-The content filters are appreciated, but feel a little half baked when you can't disable things like the dick sprites on the rat or bear and/or simply disable enemies focused on unwanted vore types entirely.

-Sandbox mode is really great to see in a fetish game, so people who want a quick fix can see all the things they're interested in and cherry pick. I wasn't able to figure out how to damage the bear or it had super high health, so it seemed like you're forced to return to the main menu to get him out of your sandbox? A clear enemies keybinding or button in the room might be handy for such things. 

-The charged attack doesn't seem very worth it vs just spamming. Maybe increase the range and knockback, or the damage, to make it feel more worth it?

-Wolf is my favorite.

Maybe you aren't looking to go this route due to work or your vision and the game won't ultimately be my cup of tea, but best of luck either way!

Please add an option to disable music. It overpowers everything else.

Are there plans to implement a map feature down the line? I would assume so, given the Metroidvania genre is applicable here.
Also the little fire collectables I've seen around, are those... well, collectables? Or like hidden powerups?

As for suggestions, well folks have already mentioned a lot. I guess maybe adding on to the object transformation I saw in the content settings, maybe there could be places where you can be turned into stuff that litters haunted house areas. Maybe either turned into a painting, or perhaps the painting can come alive and "eat" you to have a new portrait be displayed?
And perhaps some enemies with tails that can be used to eat could be like demons/succubus? I'm not really sure the range of enemies you plan to have for the game, but those are the first creatures to come into mind for tail vore.

Will we be seeing post vore animations for all enemies? If so whats curretnly in the game? and in terms of suggestion, maybe a submit button.

The movement system in your game feels really fluid! That's fairly uncommon for a lot of itch platformer games and is pretty exciting to see.

I noticed a blind-spot: would strongly suggest implementing coyote time and input queueing  mechanics to your jump, as it felt very hit-or-miss when running towards an edge  (especially noticeable in the sandbox). If you plan to have much platforming in your project it's going to be a source of frustration as-is.

Male/Female Predator/Intercourse Toggle. Like if someone wants AV on, just not for males. Or if they don't want female/female secks scenes in their gameplay. Instead of their grapple, maybe they just hit you? 

When you take the defeating blow, a nearby enemy of your preference has their fun with you instead. Or maybe if one of your preferences isn't nearby, they drag you off to them, or instead offscreen. Or maybe they throw you down to one of your preferences? Maybe they tie you up as an implied present for someone? If it's too much work, maybe just break the atmosphere with a toggle for individual enemies.

Some of these ideas look like a lot of extra unnecessary effort, but it would be a big QoL for players. 😭 

It's your game, of course. I just hope you enjoy the development process. I understand if it doesn't fit into your vision for the game. I am a big fan of your work.

I feel that this game still needs to iterate more on the vore aspect of the gameplay. Like Packedrat, this is a vore game where you have to avoid vore in order to progress. I suppose it fills a certain niche, but I'd like to see some new ideas in this space.

Here's some ideas:

• How about persistent vore. Like if you get digested, the enemy stays full, or at least for a while. Could be useful for puzzles, like you feed a wolf to make them lay down on a button.
• Or what if you can take control of an enemy when they swallow you, Mario Odyssey style, in order to use their unique abilities. Perhaps a digestion timer controls how long you can sustain this.
• What about more complex behavior or interactivity? Right now, the only interactivity the vore scenes have is pred dialogue based on whether you struggle or don't. There are quite a few vore flash animations with more interactivity than this game.

Ok, on the actual game part of this game. I understand that this is only the first beta release, but I have some thoughts.

• Right now, most of the enemies sort of just walk toward and instantly grab you. I think they need more variety in their behavior and attacks. The rat sort of goes into a run, which is a start. You could add a lunge attack to the wolf, or maybe have the squirrel try to jump on you.
• Currently there isn't any reason to fight enemies other than defense, and given they won't chase you through any doors, platforms or other obstacles, its really easy to avoid combat. Consider improving enemy AI and adding some enemy drops.
• I feel that certain content settings should adjust the level scenery.
• I cannot smash the boxes, coins do not spray out like blood from a fresh wound. This is a clear error.

Overall, any game where my character can run around topless is a good game. You have a very great start here.

Hi, the game is already at this stage awesome. It would be really cool if enemies could interact with more than just the player, maybe there could be random characters that can be caught by predators. For example a wolf girl could catch someone else and lie down to digest it, and the player could jump on her stomach, it would also be cool if at some point she could open her mouth and the player could accidentally fall there and be swallowed. Anywat, the game is amazing and has a lot of potential.

Do you plan to add "size changing" mechanics? For example shrinking yourself to get a puzzle done or getting vored in the proccess. And yeah, I got inspired by packedrat, but I personally would like to see how it fits with this awesome game, as it was incredibly fun back at that time.

Been following this for a bit on FA and thought the first build was pretty great. It looks like everyone else has already touched on most of these topics, but I'll reiterate over them anyways.

• Player movement was predictable and wonderfully smooth. Seriously, no complaints here. 
• The combat definitely has a good base, but enemy movements and attack patterns make the game a little too easy, especially with the knock back. Beyond the boss, every enemy could be defeated by mashing the attack button. Giving enemies a way to respond to player attacks would help create more engaging combat.
• There's currently no incentive to fight the non-boss enemies, and also easy to get around them. After the first encounter or two of a given species, I found myself skipping battles frequently since walking past enemies took less time than fighting. Given how early on things are, I'm sure this will get addressed later on though.

Onto more suggestion like feedback...

• One tap escape from grapples makes them seem a little pointless. I think it would be better if you took normal damage until an attack incapacitates the player.  Or perhaps require several button presses to escape, and maybe let the player get devoured if they don't escape in time, making escaping even harder or completely preventing it.

I wasn't going to mention bugs since I played on a non-target OS (MacOS via Crossover) which can cause bugs not actually present in the game, but I'll drop them just in case.

• In sandbox, if you respawn after the harpy files off, the harpy sprite remains hidden until defeated. The harpy can still attack and grapple the player when its sprite is hidden.
• Sometimes after breaking free from a grapple, you can stand where the enemy is and become unreachable by the enemy. The enemy will rapidly switch which direction it's looking, but will not move away.

Great job so far, can't wait to see where this goes!

Is adding struggling system a good suggestion? (I know some people didn't like mashing button so, maybe adding in as an option?)
