Event Links: [ MiniLD 50 | Warmup Weekend | Real World Gatherings | Ludum Deals | Wallpaper ]
Here's the simple game I put together this weekend! Didn't spend as much time on it as I might have liked to (did roughly 15 hours?), but my primary goal this LD was just to finish something, and I did! Will probably write up a quick postmortem post after work today.
Tools used - Unity, Photoshop CC, Audacity

Great game. I was patient enough to eat it all. Superb ending : )
We had nearly the same idea :D

Pretty cool, Didn't expect the 'hill' to turn out to be the entire world, so that was pretty funny. Nice job on this, looks well polished.
Haha, great game! I also managed to see the grand finale an it put a smile on my face. Thanks!
Not a very original concept, though still an enjoyable game. What I really missed in this game is a losing condition. Games become boring really fast by not being able to lose. In this game you just bump into enemies bigger than you, which is good because sometimes it is not entirely clear who you can eat or not, but there is not really a challenge in this game and thus the biggest part is not getting bored and reach the amazing ending.
accidental commentary on the consumer culture paradigm? Hilarious and fun :)
really awesome game, I loved the text and how big you are at the end!
Great job!
Woohoo! Found someone who made mole game just like me! I love it! Looks absolutely polished, and the concept is amazing. One tiny little thing; I thought the animation of his paws looked a bit weird. But overall, it's totally worth five stars!
I love it! Simple concept, but highly satisfying to play. The little "story" behind it is great, too. If you add more levels/planets to it, it would be even more awesomer!
Hah... I couldn't wait to eat the core of the Earth since the moment I've seen it. This was fun. I want a sequel on an alien planet!
This was fun, reminded me of the first stage from spore. Very nice graphics!
I really like the mood of the game, the simple animation, and the ending anding starting dialogs. Feels nice and polished :)
Very cool game! Great music and concept. Reminded me of Spore :)
It may have been short, but it was definitely fun while it lasted. I enjoy that Spore aspect of gameplay, of getting larger and being able to consume the things that were once huge to you. The graphics were really nice, and I like how you confined the mole within the circular planet. Gives you a fun sense of scale of how much you grew. I would be interested to see how this concept could evolve. Great job, regardless!
This is really fun! I don't think you need a lose condition. It's just fun and satisfying to get bigger and bigger, and the end is great.
I wondered where this game was going at first and then when I realized I loved it xD very cool, really fun, cute ending :)
Really like the simplicity of this game, it's actually quite zen like
I did a little bit of research after playing your game and I don't think you understand the eating habits and growth rates of moles.
But seriously, great work. :) "Bite sized", and quite fun.
Nice little game! Totally playable :) Could do with some danger/challenge though.
solid game! excells in it's simplicity..props for the music..well done
Nice execution! Consistent art style and a fun story to wrap it up. Good work!
really fun to play, but you cant really die so it is a little too easy :) nonetheless i love the concept that you need to grow to consume bigger foes!
Not particularly replayable, but very polished and fun to play through once. Katamari-like.
I became Moleactus, eater of worlds... And it was fun! Haha! nice ending!
Its impressive that you got so much done in so little time.
The game ended up being quite enjoyable, more so than I had thought from the initial images. But I really actually enjoyed it. The graphics look great and worked really well with it. I'm also really glad you put in the beginning and ending text/scenes because it help give the game closure.
Well done!

MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Wow really great game love it!
