Cool concept! Had fun playing. Found the tutorial text at the top a little easy to miss (bigger prompts would help), and the upgrade list felt a bit overwhelming to see all at once upfront

Thank you so much, really glad you liked the music and the animations! If you have a second, a rating on the page helps a lot. It's how small games like this get found. Good luck to you too! :-)

Fun, game. Really cool that you included different modes and sectors to fit different playstyles. The main menu feels a bit cluttered for a first run though, and in-game it’s tricky to tell pickups apart from hazards. Swapping the robotic audio with some free tracks from Newgrounds would elevate the atmosphere a ton, but it’s a solid foundation overall!

Thank you so much! The panic flip is the heart of the game, so it’s great to hear it landed. More worlds are on the list. And yes, Tiny Pug65 is a machine 😄

Thanks a lot, and congrats on beating the mayor!  It gets wilder from here: in world 2 there's a kaiju, peppers that make you faster, and a golden loot truck that tries to get away. In world 3 the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower grow legs and run from you, while a kraken and a yeti hunt you down, and the final boss is the actual moon. If you get further, I'd love to hear where it got hard.

Hey, thanks for coming back to tell me! Good news, a lot of that is in now: there are 3 worlds (the city, the countryside with a kaiju boss, and a planet with the actual moon as the final boss), monsters that hunt you in world 3 (a kraken and a yeti), a pepper power-up that gives you a speed boost, and orbiting moons that grab stuff and protect you. There's also a golden truck you can chase for bonus cash. Your save is still there, so give it another try and tell me what you think. Good luck with your own games!

Thank you! That feedback means a lot. The contrast between their attitude and the chaos was the core goal. If you ever jump back in, a brand new visual update and World 2 just went live. Hope you give it another roll!

UPDATE: World 2 is out. Swallow the mayor, GO BIGGER, and the whole city becomes your snack.

Everything that ignored you a minute ago runs from you now.

You're a little ball that sticks everything smaller than itself. Dogs, bullies, cops and a very smug mayor don't care about you... until you're their size. Then they panic, run, and end up stuck to your ball, flailing.

- Short runs, a shop of upgrades between them, no fail screen and no penalties

- Swallow the mayor and GO BIGGER: the whole city becomes a tiny ring in World 2, THE COUNTRY. Your cash and upgrades come with you.

- New in World 2: grab a hot pepper and for a few seconds you count as one size bigger. Everyone one size above you panics. Chase them down before it wears off.

- A kaiju that everyone fears, even the army. Until you're big enough.

It's an early build: all the art is drawn in code for now, and a full art pass is next if people enjoy it. I'm a solo dev updating it every day based on what players do, so I'd love to hear: did you press GO BIGGER? Where did you get bored or confused?

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Quick question so I build the right thing next: did you swallow the mayor, and what made you stop playing? And what kind of ability would you want?
