HUNTER HUNGER by oddarock

You start with nothing inside your stomach. A flea sized blob which only seeks to grow, grow, grow and eat them all !
Arrows to move / space bar to jump Eat quickly to survive and grow !!!
You die from starvation if you don't eat enough food, don't forget to check your food bar at the top.
Bon appetit !
PS: The post jam version features some tuning so you get larger and preys are more reactive and less glitchy...

Overall: Fun, grim platformer about eating all the life-forms and growing.
Fun: I had fun playing this game, but could do with being a little harder. The platforming aspect seems to be well-implemented. I'm pleased by the "destructible terrain"! [Post jam version: this is set to a much better difficulty.]
Innovation: I suppose it could be considered a sidescrolling Katamari Damacy clone? But without the size constraints? [Post jam version: OK! Now it's something quite different - hunting the animals - thanks to the better AI. And the size constraints do apply - I just didn't realise.]
Theme: You start small, but do you start with nothing?
Graphics: OK, but there's a mix of different pixel-sizes in the different art objects, which makes the game look visually inconsistent.
Audio: Nice, well suited to the game.
Humor: I liked reading what all the animals say! (Sometimes these are hard to read.)
Mood: A grim mood, thanks to the nature of the game, and accentuated by the music.
