Planktos by SaraMartins

Planktos is a local multiplayer game where you play as a phytoplankton. You must defeat your friend... by eating him! However it won't be easy, as you must be big enough to absorb him...
SITE: Itch.io
Both players can eat other smaller phytoplanctons. It's a belly game, where eating you makes you stronger, and being hit by your opponent shrinks you.

When you have just the right size, you can absorb him, and claim your throne as the micro-sea's king :yum:

The game features a simple procedurally created colour pallet, which changes throughout the time.

The players and the food visuals are created using a Metaball/Soft Bodies algorithm.

So go kick some of your friends' bellys, and may the best be the Micro-Ruler!

Nice! I really apreciate the smooth animation. Also very clever to make the 'winning'/larger player slower! Sadly, I had to play it by myself, but I could see this being quite fun with 2 actual players instead of just hands :smile:
