This game is a blast, and the voiceovers are hilarious! You can really tell a lot of love went into the sound design. And yes, tardigrades absolutely f**ks!

Holy crap, that was intense! :joy: The controls might have been a bit clunky and what not, but who actually cares with voiceovers like these? I had an awesome time and I'm not gonna let any gameplay issues gonna ruin that.

A very good experience overall. The game is very straight forward, and it has a straight-shooting narrator that doesn't hold back.

Funny voiceover and interesting gameplay. However I felt like it took a lot of effort to break those structures. Perhaps I was doing it wrong?

Love the style, and the art gave me an old video game vibe for some reason, really liked it. Good job

Funny stuff! Took a while to get the jist of things here, but it was quite amusing. :)

Hahaha, damn tardigrades, they really f***!
Damn the clunky controls and the fact that I couldn't jump high enough to destroy the structures, that gave me a good laugh, thanks!

A lot of polish with the hilarious voiceover, and the story! Really nice work. I think the player controller could've used a bit of work though - it felt a bit floaty and impossible to avoid the hazards at times. Some of the hazards were really small too, and I couldn't tell what the downside was to getting hit other than not being able to play for a few seconds, which felt a bit frustrating. It would've been cool to have different mechanics for each of the creatures you control too, but it's understandable given the time limitations of the game jam.

Confusing at first, and hard to control, but lots of fun still! I feel like the music was a bit too loud at times, and once you're on a building you're pretty much invulnerable, but otherwise its still a ton of fun!

Voiceovers were great. Gameplay was definitely reminiscent of original Rampage, so nice work there.

Hilarious stuff! I loved the old rampage back in the day, this was fun parody and the voice over made my day 😁

That was awesome! the unique gameplay and surprisingly good voice acting caught me off guard (I tried voice acting in my game and it did not go well)

The main gameplay is really cool because of how engaging it is despite how simple the mechanics are. It would've been cool to have your tiny followers do something like give you more attack power or slowly attack buildings you're on. I'm actually not sure what the point of them was though. Picking up a tiny follower created a little heart icon which made me think they worked like rings in Sonic games, but I got hit without followers a few times and didn't die.

The main issue I had with the game was feeling like the hazards were too unfair. The recovery time after getting hit was way too long and I sometimes found myself getting hit by a 2nd hazard right after recovering. I think the recovery should be shorter but you should also give the player a short invincibility period right after recovering to prevent unfair follow up hits.

It's a great submission, the voiceovers, music and sound design are all fantastic and there's a lot of charm here. Getting hit felt frustrating though, and I got stun locked once or twice by getting hit a few times in row. A period of invulnerability once you regain control of your character after being hit could be a good addition. Mouse controls for attacking would've also been nice. Great work though, enjoyed this one alot!

The voiceover and such were very good, I had to understand this was a side view, not a topdown- oops. When I got the hang of it I realized better what was expected of me. There appears to not be a lose condition? Or I did not play it long enough. Eitherway, was fun to try!

The voiceover is great, got a good few chuckles out of that! I found the gameplay a bit reppetative in the end, but I did enjoy collecting up swarms of creatures (and seeing them wiped out by a car driving dog!)
