Really nailed the creepy atmosphere. My main critique is that it is pretty difficult to tell what each mutation actually does. The ui is not quite clear enough, and the fight scenes don't give me much information.

I really like the execution on this one, most of the things are working smoothly. Good job on the camera movement and all the little animations, they really sparkle things up. Nice work!

My favorite game ive played this jam. Absolutely nailed the theme,  the opening cutscene is great as well as the actual game page is just perfect. I love that you can select which part of the turtle to mutate, and its awesome there's a physical representation for those mutations.

For feedback id say as a player, its not really clear what each statline does, as well as the mutations. So it did feel like I didn't have too much agency with my choices. Still beat the game twice, still loved it. I would buy a full version of this game, the loop/UI reminds me of Cloverpit. Great job.

Cool and weird!  My turtle got rocked a lot but I had fun thinking thru the upgrades and also just experimenting so see what the syringes would do.  Also props for actually having mutations that require different animations (eg spider legs), I was too scared to tackle that in my game!  Nice work!

I passed it on my second run. An interesting concept. The hub and its animations are brilliant, and the opening animation is great. But it lacked balance – there were too many unbalanced upgrades

This is the sickest version of pokemon I ever played...

Impressive work, the art style is good and well implemented through every interaction in the game. The only thing I would change is that I would put the stuff you can buy in front of the turtle, as with some mutations it gets too big and some stuff becomes difficult to click on. 

It's a bit hard to understand what you're supposed to do to win the fights, as they get pretty intense quickly. Some in-game help on the characteristics would have been great (maybe it's there and I missed it).

The most impressive entry I've seen so far, that's for sure!
