Survive in the forest by skill and cunning, and make the hunter become the hunted.

Eating prey makes you stronger, eating predators makes you weaker, but you must keep the ecosystem balanced to survive.

WASD or arrows to move.

I know its not the most on point with the theme, but sometimes you just have to go with what works.

Thanks for playing!

Nice. You've got a complete game loop, and I like the choice of music to fit the theme/game concept. I ended up with a high score of 210!

Score of 65... Okay, I'm not very good but... Why can't I eat predators when I'm bigger than them?! I want to eat them! A super cool and accomplished entry, well done :wink:

Nice vibes and I like the simplicity in gameplay. I got 86 points, it felt like the predators got way out of control. How does their spawning compare to hares?

Nice work.

I don't understand how this relates to the topic, but the game is cool. The spawning of hares and enemies from the bushes is genius

I figure the predators need to out pace you at some point or the game would go on forever. For the spawning the prey spawn at 8 locations but less frequently (8s) and the predators spawn at 2 locations more frequently (3s), this was to stop players from just sitting over the prey spawn points.

The size thing doesn't change the ability to eat predators, I just thought it was an easy way to show your relative HP.

Got a score of 68 after a few tries hahaha - it's a pretty fun game. I like how the HP is shown gain/lost visually by reducing/enlarging the player.

Well done, I got about 58 for my high score. I did just kinda hug and hover over a few spawn points and only went after other wolves that got near my area.

Cool game, and fun that we had same game name. I like the game mechanics, it's cool to grow bigger and bigger until it turns around (:

Does not correspond a little bit to the theme as was told in the description, nice music and sounds, during the game and I faced the fact that I was constantly being eaten and smaller prey became very few, and when increasing the size still could not resist large predators, because of this felt a little lost😅, but so cool work, turned out quite pleasant, so I wish further development)!

Fun game, liked the scoring mechanics and the fact that the game's difficulty increases with time as the screen gets flooded with predators and rabbits get eaten in seconds ! A few collision glitches between predators but nothing that prevented me from playing :)

Cute simple game, artwork is charming and the "company logo" made me laugh. Love the eye of the tiger cover, would have been nice to have different types of prey/predators. Overall good entry!

Cool concept! Reminds me of feeding frenzy a bit, very nostalgic.

That loud monkey sound scared the shit of me lol)

Sorry everyone about the loud monkey sound at the start, not my intention. I even had it turned down to 20% in the inspector for this build. Not meant to be a jump scare, just my lousy sound engineering capabilities.

Cute game. I don't really see the theme but you finished a game in 3 days and its pretty well polished. Well Done!

It's the

eye of the tiger


#### It's the thrill of the fight

Rising up to the challenge of our rival


#### And the last known survivor

Stalks his prey in the night


And he's watching us all with the eyeeeee


of the tiger

Rather fun to play, but it felt weird to be damaged by smaller enemies (even though you're actually getting points for that), and it would have been nice to have some animations, even simple ones.

I was also expecting the sprite to change when I got bigger, and the hit box felt a bit "too nice".

There is potential, but for a 1-person entry, it's pretty good already :thumbsup:
