I like the mechanic of using your score to unlock powerups, though it'd be good to know what I am buying so I can make more strategic choices.  The aesthetic is simple but effective.  I think you should've made vulnerable enemies more distinctive from the blue ones.

Good work! I like the upgrade system. I did encounter a bug where when moving to the next level, I would get stuck in a boxed off area of the original level, as it seemed to build the new level over the old one.

Really cool entry. I was hoping someone would make a "roguelike" twist with upgrades and procedural maps, and I wasn't disappointed. I like that even though the levels are procedural, you have the classic "clear the map" gameplay once you find the whirlpool. Felt pretty well balanced to me, too. Challenging enough to make me feel good for beating it, but not so hard to make it feel unfair. Though maybe it would be cool to make the upgrades a little more impactful to encourage getting more dots.

Either way, I had a lot of fun playing it, and that's what counts. Great job!

Loved the art, really cute design. At some point it gets brutally difficult lol. It’d look much more appealing if it had sound and music. Good job!

I really like the art style you went for. The big maps were fun to explore, and finding chests and power‑ups added a great touch. Awesome work on the game! 🐟

Solid PacMan clone based on fish theme. Love the smooth scrolling, and player movement is spot-on. Like that you can collect points for power-ups. Enemies seem to move randomly, so games seems easy at first, but new enemies keep spawning so things get really hard. Game doesn't seem to have any audio, though?

So hard in level 1
