Enceladian Man o' War
~5 minute playtime. If enemies are no longer attacking you, you have mastered your environment (and won the bideo game 🏆), but stay a minute and just vibe. Made by j4nw (web / itch / x) with sound by Ana Devar (web / itch / x) for GMTK Game Jam 2024
Click for explanations / hints (might be more fun figuring this stuff out on your own)
- Gather green cells to grow
- Your feelers detect the closest cells
- After you gather enough, some will specialize into a random organ
- Better, stronger dash
- Big ol' clunky shield carapace
- Enemy detecting feelers
- Super secret final one
- As you grow, there will be more red cells and they'll get more aggressive
- Use well timed dashes and your shield to protect yourself
- Your cells can survive one blow and slowly heal over time
- Getting hit in your main cell immediately destroys a random "body" cell, can be disastrous
- But you can't actually perish
- Enceladus is a very exciting moon of Saturn with possibly life-bearing oceans
- The Portuguese man o' war is a very exciting colonial organism

Not sure if this is a bug or I just missed something, but I got to the stage where you grow a pink tail and then the red star dudes stopped following me and nothing else happened.
Love the game though, very satisfying movement and great presentation!
thanks for playing! that’s it, it’s a very short experience, I’m still working on the game description to make it clear
Ah ok, cool! Nice job!
