Overall a very nice game. The concept was solid and the execution was well done. If I had to suggest of improvements, I would say that it would benefit greatly from more audio components, music and sfx. Overall, a great game. Sidenote* I've always wanted to be a clan devouring slime.
I think we had a similar idea, but yours is light-years more complete. Nice little game! I agree that the humans-killing was pretty difficult. Love the slime feeding on them!
Love it! Seeing the slime grow is so satisfying. The game is well implemented except for the fact that space and down arrow will sometimes scroll the page. Well done!
Good idea - the art was a bit mixed up with some nice bits (trees in particular). Nice AI with the people going to get their arrow back and also shooting each other by accident.
Would be cool if you killed them quicker and grew, shrunk and moved faster - a good start though.
background music would be nice, but overall a nice little idea which could make a very addicting game if it would be a bit more challenging. loved the idea!
Nice concept: but unfortunately a couple of issues that hindered my enjoyment:
- when behind a tree, you can't see what's happening - I ate a human by a hut, which made me grow, but then it seemed I was stuck inside the hut and couldn't move any more
The humans could do with a bit of pathfinding too, as they basically just shot their own houses.
Mashing spacebar was a surprisingly fun way to eat though! om nom nom
There's a issue with the web version where if you hold the up or down key you end up scrolling the page by accident and the time it takes to absorb a human is quite long but this was a pretty solid game.
@Xanjos I was hoping if you press the "FullScreen" button on Ludum Dare game window it would correct the problem but it seems a lot of people are having that issue. :/
Really like the concept, but mashing space isn't as much fun :) I think you can have a fun game of picking of people and avoiding others with the mashing

Altough anything referencing Zappa gets points for that.
Well done!
The game was pretty good.
The fact that archers run of arrows was a nice touch, and I liked how you could use cover.
