This is my second Ludum Dare attempt and I’ve really enjoyed making Growing Gertrude. I hope you enjoy playing it!

You are Gertrude the amoeba. Eat those smaller than you to grow until you are large enough to take on Peanut the Octopus and steal her treasure.

Use the WASD keys to move Gertrude. You’ll need 4 of each creature to grow enough to eat the next.

Play and rate it here.

I added bubbles at the end to make it look more like an underwater scene, and would like to add some seaweed later. If I had more time, I’d also add levels of difficulty and improve the animations.
