At last, a Nitrome game that more or less runs exactly as it used to. It’s a bit slower than what it used to be (and you’re going to have to exit to the menu at the end of every level if you don’t want it to run even slower) but… other than that, this was a mostly smooth experience. You play as a Venus fly trap trying to escape a greenhouse, and with your mouse you can extend your head to wherever you click, moving you if you bite the ground, and eating whatever critters your mouth manages to connect with. It’s a unique mechanic, and it was fun trying to crawl up along surfaces by biting into them. It’s simple, and remains mostly as such: with later levels, if not challenging your mastery, at least test your proficiency with the mechanics. I… wish the hitboxes in this game were a little better — so many times where I was hit by something not even touching me, or whiffed on something when I clearly hit it — and I wish there was more use for the “your maximum neck length increases with everything you eat” mechanic (as most levels are either clearable with the minimum neck length, or immediately throw a bunch of bugs at you for the sake of progression), but, those problems aside, this was solid! I don’t think it’ll necessarily reach the heights of some of the games (and, particularly, the subsequent platformers like this one) yet to come, but of what I've gone through, I’d feel comfortable saying this is the best so far.
