ingest|digest by vivid-hallucination
This is a game about a blob named Petri. He's just a little guy, and he's hungry.
Collect all the things, digest them, and grow :)
Click to move. Press space sometimes.
I made this solo in about 33 hours, minus 4 for the first failed prototype.
It uses p5.js as a backend and a particle library I've been working on for the blobbo
100% Human Made. Well, 99% + VSCode's code completion.

I really liked the sound design here! The particle system is also very neat - It seemed like it kept making fractal shapes as I got bigger, and I was really curious if that was an actual mathematical occurrence or coincidence!
My one piece of constructive feedback is that it might have been a good idea to skip the first round where you're just collecting abstract shapes and go straight to the second phase. During the first phase, I had no idea if there was more to the game than just collecting the shapes, but once I hit phase 2, it felt like things really picked up steam in a much more engaging way
Overall, this is really cool stuff for just 33 hours, especially being built on a custom library!
@@@
Happy I opened this website NOT under influence of some kind :laughing:
Great job <3
It got very slow on the final level to move, I'm not sure if that's intentional or if it was lagging.
^^
(Update: if you want to further improve on this game, I recommend using GPU to handle the particles, as it lags a lot in the browser even on Intel's Ultra 9 275HX)
