Vibining game. Remembers Carrion a bit. Beautiful!
Really cool, this would go hard as a flash game in 2008. It's a solid time, felt nice sneaking around people to try and grab em, and it's just overall a really moody, fun puzzle game with horror undertones. Would like more variety and especially more strategy (since after you start breaking walls it's basically a free win), but this is a great base for a game!
so cool game!!! love this game design so mush,and level disign are so good,spent a lot of time on this game,wish for more content to play
That was cool! The mechanics are intuitive and great fun to use. I'm impressed with the puzzle design in the second level; it utilized the mechanics well. I also like the downbeat, atmospheric style.
Good job on the volume settings! However, at the default volume level, the sound effects are a little loud, consistently peaking the audio above +0.0 dB when stacked on top of each other.
All-in-all, great work!
Great game! Awesome concept and easy to grasp mechanics. The visual style is perfect. More levels please! :D
Must CONSUME
Deliciously gory and icky, although perhaps a bit similar to Carrion. Plays and looks very nice!
Awesome game, would love to see a longer, more fleshed out version. Good job all
Super cool game !
It's fun to play the bad character :DDD, I cleaned the lab well
Better graphics, 2.5D perspective and baam youve got a ready to ship steam game XD. This is really cool
The flesh must grow! Could see this being expanded into a very gory puzzle game. I love how satisfying it is to setup a kill and click into the next cells really quickly to execute it.
I wish to devour the whole world now please.
Such a simple and fun concept. Was very satisfying to see how quickly I was able to destory everything in the level
Definitely the most creative interpretation of the theme I've seen so far! Fantastic job on this game. I'll nitpick when I say I wish the music looped properly, but the music track itself sounded great and fit the game really well. I wish I saw games of this genre more often!
Really cool concept, I love it ! The terrifying sound effects add a big bonus to the game !
It is really really coool ! i love the mecanic
Wow this is great! Love the graphics and the way the entire organism moves. I hope you'll expand this game!
I love this...... the 3 wide confuses me a little to when and why - but I want more of this please - its great. I loved carrion and this give me the same vibes. Great job!!
Fantastic atmosphere, gore-y, oppressive, dark. Great stuff. Very fun to play.
The difficulty spike was nice, since without some cleverly placed enemies it would be just a game about clicking squares, but now there's the strategy element to it.
