Only one level ? Too bad, cause the concept would have been fun to play.

It was pretty annoying that the slimes appeared at the numbers without any after-spawn-cannot-hurt delay... otherwise good game!

Maybe i did something wrong, but my score at the end is always 0000000, no matter how many enemies i devoured.

So the fun of highscore hunting is missing.

nice but, Collision detection is somewhat sub-par

It's quite hard know wich monster is larger and wich is smaller than you, at the start.
Later is more clear, but bigger monster spawn over smaller, because they stand still in spawn point if they are too far from you..

good game. The score keeps showing up as zero at the end though.

Fun concept!
But the collision hit-boxes are too big.

Good game to play, fun. Liked the music. It was just over too soon. You really should develop this further! Good job
