This is the most unique game I've found in this jam. The way it interprets the theme is completely different from other games I've seen. The fun scoring system and satisfying gameplay loop add tons of replayability to this (I've played this at least 5-6 times with varying scores)

It's super addicting and insanely fun! I'll be shocked if I don't see this in the GMTK winner's video

Super polished and fun to play!

Really interesting concept and well executed! I think adding powers up you could buy after every iteration based on the points would also make the gameplay more progressive!

The minimalistic style is done really well in this game with the post processing effects and the visual polish. The consuming effect was really satisfying. Audio was also done very nicely, and fits perfectly with the visuals and gameplay. The foodchain is also a really interesting game mechanic and a unique interpretation of the theme, and the fact that the environment acts without the player too is a really interesting dynamic. Overall a very well polished and thought out game. Well done!

Very cool game, loved how you were able to make a simple game loop very fun and addicting. I felt like I was able to master in and play well at a quick pace. Lots of fun

Addictive game, with the combo system it is satisfing

I liked the absorbing effect (marching square ?)

Thanks! It’s actually an upscaled low res render texture, with a custom shader that sharpens the whole thing, so that the blurred edges of the shapes appear to merge. It’s basically the old “metaballs” trick used to achieve pseudo liquid simulation in many games

The game’s mechanics are really well done, and the CRT-style visuals are top-notch it honestly feels like you’re being pulled into the past.

That's illegal to do so fluid and addictive games.

Amazing idea and really nicely done. Felt really satisfying to play and you set it up in a way that the player is really only limited by their own skills :D

Great concept and excellent execution, my eyes were glued to the screen as I was playing!

This was super fun! The slow pull back and expansion of the playing field felt great, the audio and visuals really hit a sorta nostalgic vibe for me, and it was super satisfying to get hit your stride and fly between shapes.

Super fun concept, and the animations are so smooth! I like that the non-player shapes can eat each other too.  - @wave-mosaic

Ooh I really like the aesthetic of this game! The visuals and sfx really make it sooo satisfying.

It's a simple mechanic that's executed really well. Really nice gameplay loop once you get into the flow :)
