So it ended up not really being even close to a complete game, but it looks sort of nice, I guess. And who doesn't like coding and modelling all weekend.

Ah Ludum Dare, you are a cruel mistress.

Idea was you are a fish, or a lizard(ish?), or a bird, able to change between the three, eating and avoiding enemy "bugs" (which eat your "poop"/waste, then you if there isn't enough food).

File leads to a 404 and I cannot seem to download it. But based on the screenshot it looks really cool.

The website you used the link on doesn't curently exist, as all it says is "badmonster is almost here". You aalso have numerous other websites that have had coming soon on them for quite a while. Hopefully you can fix this, but I doubt it, as your ld34 project had the same problem. So far we have a picture of some red and yellow lines, and even I wouldn't call that a game.

At least you do admit that your "game" is even a game in the title.

Too bad you couldn't finished it... Modeling was very nice! Though I couldn't say if I was actually moving or not (besides rotation).

Although I also like making a game from "scratch" (I use at least a basic custom engine), using an engine sure helps with the time constraint (the last 2 LD I had to use Unity due to lack of time...), so I think you should at least consider using something, depending on your idea~

Anyways great work!

Well, no game here, as expected. But pretty. I won't vote anything except overall and graphics for you.

Using an engine is not cheating, it's actually a good idea not reinventing the wheel during a jam ^^;

The graphics are nice though.

That's a very pretty fish you have there :)
A full game in this style could be really cool. Would like to see you finish it at some point.

You had a good idea, and the game does run and the fact that you didn't use an engine probably lead to your demise. Unity is fairly beginner friendly.
