I might be late to the party but the game is pretty neat! A minimap would be nice though, you get kinda lost while THE THING chases you around.
Would love to see more of this. I especially  loved the animation. It's simple but effective!
But after the thing starts eating buildings the game loses any plot and you walk around wondering where to go next until the pop up to sacrifice yourself comes up. Also hunting animals in the game feels a bit annoying.
But other than the minor problems being caused because it is a game jam, it's overall great! 
Keep the hard work and I hope I will see more from you!

Great concept, really fun!

This is so cool

I LOVE IT

Hello , I really like your game, but i find a bug : when the mouse goes far enough of the game, the black disapear, and we can see all without black.

I really liked this concept but I feel bad for the creature. I lped it!

That was cool, I like it alot.

WoW.

Really love the concept you are going for here, though due to the game's short length it leaves a lot of potential untapped but serves as an excellent proof of concept for what could be.
As always I love seeing such fun games and concepts from the work of Sbug.

Great video as always, and really helpful feedback!

I did try to make individual sounds for eating all the objects but they came out too cartoony and then I ran out of time. Oh well, that's just the nature of game jams I suppose.

Thanks I appreciate it~
Heh, yeah I imagine gamejams are rough with the short deadlines and all. On one hand it can produce surprising gems but on the other it's a pain to have it looming.

Cool game but the ending was a bit underwhelming tbh

cool game

Very good job, i love the art!
