Hi everyone!

we are a small german team and we've built a multiplayer game about delicate cell-like creatures moving around in a larger organism, trying to grow bigger. However, your creation is not the only one around and you might end up as food for other Tiny Creatures. Moving around is exhausting, make sure you keep feeding on your peers.

The controls are simple: Click join to join an existing game or you will automatically start a new game. The creature can be moved using your arrow keys and space to dash forward.

Have fun with our entry,
Team Banana4Life

Notes

• If you feel like the game is stuck (you can't move, you can't respawn, you don't see anything else moving, ...) just exit and restart the game.
• You might be randomly selected to host a multiplayer session for up to 31 other players. These other players will be able to see you public IP address.
• The game uses WebRTC connections without proxies, some restrictive networks will not support this.

Web-Version

On the surface nothing seems to prevent a web version of this game, networking, graphics and controls would all work fine, unfortunate Godot 4.x does not yet support web exports when using C# scripting.
