You are the monster. You live in a cave which you can't get out of and you're starving. You eat whatever you can find. Your dream is to grow bigger and bigger to escape the cave one day.

This game is unfinished. I spend most of the time playing around with some stats. This was the most fun Ludum Dare I've taken part at so far, tho. And it's the first time I created music! For those who are interested in the source code but don't quite understand what I did there: I used a custom library which you can find below.

Move with WAD. Eat falling things to grow. I did not have time to implement a goal.

This game requires Java 8 to run. There might be bugs when resizing the window.
Very cute, looks like you were off to a good start. The sine-music is very calming and fitting and I om-nom-nomed a number of beach balls, too (or Chrome icons? ;) Anyway how about also having stuff drop that hurts you, too? And just slap on a time limit and you're done. I liked it.
But I got stuck in the right wall after a bit and had to restart.
