Need more smaller creatures for us to eat. I couldn't find any until I was really big.

Nice take on the eat-and-grow genre. I like the bright colors and procedural tail animation.

It definitely feels like a bit of a grind at the start, and the one-hit-deaths don't help in that regard. It also bugs me that the background hexagon is slightly vertically stretched.

funky music, great backgrounds, innovative mouse controls (although a little slow to follow it), large enemies, working collision detection, colour palette cycles, the worms were nicely animated. Seems to work properly.

A simple and very funny little game idea. I especially like the music and graphics. Overall a good combo game. Well done.

fun eating/growing type of game! i love that it's a bunch of sperm of different sizes eating each other.

Still haven't hit the egg. Might want to add an epilepsy warning for the free proteins and the eggs (or an epilepsy-friendly version) but no other complaints.

What a great game! I liked the core gameplay mechanic and how it fills, it kept me for many tries. Graphics are very good and this music gives me something like James Bond vibe.

Interesting game, it was too hard for me but it was well executed and good music!

The mouse control is a bit unresponsive. I would either polish that or change to keyboard controls. Other than that, fun game. Good job.
