I like the hunger mechanic, it forces you to swap powers so you never stay with the same. I liked how clear the enemies health bar were with both color and visual threshold indication of when they can be eaten.\n\nThe map may be a bit too big? I was lost really fast, and with no goals or waypoint I didn't really know what way to explore.

I like how you managed to get in so many variations of enemies and abilities. I was having fun goin around find out what they were. The different climates and procedural generation is very cool.

I only survived 3 minutes my first try, but it was a fun 3 minutes! After understanding how the game worked, I got really good at keeping myself fed and feeding, the only thing that really killed me was the deer (XD)...

The idea of an oblivious character who only wants to snack while everyone is trying to kill him is so charming, haha. I could totally see this being fleshed out into a whole story arc :) It was also fun going around seeing what different abilities I could get by \"eating\" other creatures; similar to Kirby in that sense! I found myself going back a few times to see what the different powers would be, haha. \n\nIn terms of feedback, I think a little bit more art \/ sound would've gone a long way! Maybe some character animations, background music; something to make the world feel more engaging. That being said, these are all minor concerns in the grand scheme of things. \n\nCongratulations on making this in 72 hours :) Also if you could rate my game as well, that'd be amazing; any feedback would be much appreciate!

I didn't make it to the volcanic or void biomes from your screenshots, but I think I saw the others.\n\nThe on-screen text and UI was pretty small, and I think \"eating\" has a range that is not visually indicated, but aside from that the mechanics were fairly intuitive.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":881810,"author_name":"Erlioniel","author_uid":"erlioniel","epoch":1665312323,"text":"Hi there!\n\nAmount of art and animals you drew is quite amazing, however for me it was difficult to find out how to play.
