HOW TO PLAY

Click to move (don't hold too much)

Moving uses up your tentacles, allowing you no more than 10 seconds of interaction

Eat plankton in order to regen

Be careful, ennemies destroy your tentacles too, try to stay alive

I love the graphics and had fun trying to survive. Very creative little enemy creatures. I had a little trouble understanding when/how I was losing tentacles; it seemed too far out of my control, or random. Overall I enjoyed it.

Nice graphics but the control/movement is little bit chaotic for me :)

The movement was a bit difficult and I'm not really sure how the theme is conveyed. But the graphics and audio are superb.

I wish I could control this game with the keyboard, using my trackpads makes it very tedious. Nice mood and lovely graphics!

Oooh. Pretty Jellyfish and lovely ambiance music to go with it. This is kind of relaxing. Like looking into an aquarium.

Really nice use of theme. But a feedback for when you get hit and lose control of cell could have a feedback for how long you dont have control.
Since you can exit the screen and return from the other side, it would be nice if when you chose the movement location to have the cell take the shortest route by exiting and returning to the screen.
Great background music. Great job ^^

Very pretty game. I never developed an intuition of how much "tentacle" would be used by moving a certain distance, which made some things difficult, but once the aggressive enemies showed up, I pretty much dropped all regen strategies I'd had. Nice work, and congratulations on your first LD.
