About
This game was created in around 36 hours for LuxJam 01!!!
Future Plans
Being a jam game, this game is a work in progress. I do plan to add several features in the future. Among the planned additions are multiplayer and AI that chases you and flees from you.
The next update which will likely include AI and multiplayer will be released on Monday, March 16th, 2020.
Known Bugs
| Description | Status |
|---|---|
| Framerate is very low causing camera movement to be jerky. | Fixed - included in next update. |
| After filling the reincarnate gauge, reincarnating will automatically take you to the highest tier predator rather than the next one up. | Fixed - included in next update. |

I like the way you can't tell what you are chasing until getting closer. Very deep-sea feeling.
I have only played for 10 minutes and so far not caught anything. Mouse/camera sensitivity is too high.
I see you have a version with better framerate, but the camera jerkyness could also be solved with allowing the player to set the sensitivity.
Suggestions for tweaks:
Mouse scroll could zoom the camera in and out.
Mouse buttons could be used, for example the speed boost could be left click, 180 flip for the right and reincarnate as middle mouse.
