I've really enjoyed making Growing Gertrude. I hope you enjoy playing it!
You are Gertrude the amoeba. Eat those smaller than you to grow until you are large enough to take on Peanut the Octopus and steal her treasure (make sure you find the key first!)
Use the WASD keys to move Gertrude (the arrow keys also work, but will move the page as well as the character, so I recommend only using them in full screen mode where this is no longer an issue). You'll need 4 of each creature to grow enough to eat the next.
I used Unity, Inkscape, Audacity and LMMS to make this game.
Edit: I've added fixes to make Gertrude easier to control, and also to stop creatures appearing on top of Gertrude killing her instantly. Hopefully these fixes will make the game beatable. Though I'm wondering if it's too easy now - let me know!
