It's tough, but that's what makes it fun!

(I have updated the game since I uploaded it originally. The background caused too much lag and I took it down a notch. That's all)

The inclusion of the word "notch" in the description was an incredibly smart move.

Argh! So hard!! It sort of reminds me of Osmos, but way spazzier. I like the graphical style, especially the vibrating and wandering letters. I think the difficulty could be tuned, especially at the very beginning -- a lot depends on randomness there.

Oh, very nice! Very hard, but nice game. I like the graphical style and the gameplay is fluid and addicting. I suck at it, though, haha. Simple, hard, but addicting. Solid entry into LD24.

Nice art, though the wobbling made things a bit confusing. I was also drawn in by the word "notch."

I really love this kind of graphics, even though they were just blobs. The animations were clear and simple to understand.

Really hard to control, and the art style could've been a little more detailed, but otherwise good job with animations.

It took me a while to get used with the controls, and the hitbox is very unclear.

But after how I understood how the game works, is very fun. You need to take strategic decisions to where to move *while* dodging enemies. I thought when I hade completely evoluted the game would get boring, but still I had to fight to survive.

Shame about the lack of sounds though.

It's hard, but it's surely fun. Not exactly 'my' type of game, but I really liked it's graphical style.

Really hard game. Will I grow if I'll eat more? Will I grow in frog and will I eat everybody else?

Controls are a little tough to deal with, but it looks quite good!
