That was really a great like, i loved it, the mutations were amazing, i liked the idea that we can take control of our kind turtle ... the audios were peak and make me feel im in ocean , GJ :DD
I handled the audio. Thank you so much š
was a great game to play on stream! The idea you get to play your species once you die was great!

Thanks for streaming it! I hadn't realized that there was an eyedropper button in the built-in ColorPicker :D
Sorry that you took control of a turtle that was out of bounds. I should've added some safeguard against that.
Nice one :)
Great game! I liked that i wasnt alone but had "allies" that gathered resources with me.
The game reminds me of the first stage of spore, which was the best part of that game.
My pacifist attempt didn't work but my predator run was a success. Three times members of my own species coincidentally helped with the hunt which was an amazing feeling.
Maybe a "pack" mechanic, where you call others for help, would be a nice addition to this game.
Thank you! A "herding behavior" mutation was one of the things that I was thinking about adding, but didn't have the time.
Nice and relaxing, the effect on that minimap is cool too! I also like the colour selection option. That was a neat customization touch that haven't seen in other jam games before
Felt good to find a big bunch of food and chomp it all down before your rivals could get to it. Had a bit of trouble finding the last few rival stragglers to actually beat the game. But overall I found the game very relaxing, I think the music played a big part in that!
Thanks for playing! I was planning on a sudden death mechanic that would speed up the end of the game (in addition to the already shrinking arena), but I ran out of time.
I liked the execution. Iām glad you can color the turtle. The controls are interesting.
I loved the game. It's really fun and reminds me of the times I played Spore.
Congrats for you guys! Its a very good looking and fun game, and also very elaborated for the time (kudos for that)! And how not to mention the frutiger aero vibes.
