This game was really solid, especially for a first game! definitely keep it up cause you've got a knack for this! I am personally generally not a fan of games using mouse for both movement and aiming, but this game gave you flexible enough movement that you could pretty easily work around it which I appreciated! All in all great job!

Amazing for your first game! It has a bit of a learning curve, but it's enjoyable :) The boss fights were done very well!
Having aiming and moving both be tied to the mouse felt a bit awkward at times

Really great first game! Cool to see Dunkey getting so many first time game devs out and participating! Solid bullet hell!

At first I got annoyed that I couldnt stand still and shoot, but it somehow perfeclty fit into the game. I really liked the boss fights and the overall pace. Well done!

Damn, that was a super fun game! The controls are super weird at first, it's so hard to get used to the fact that the bacteria you control doesn't follow your mouse cursor one to one, but it was weird enough to compel me to get good at it! I eventually defeated the white blood cell (and turned it good?) and I had a blast doing that! The game might be a little too hard for your average player, but as someone who enjoys shmups and bullet hell games, I had a blast! For the first game, this was amazing, you did a great job!

Pretty funny game. Great thing was the diverse enemies. It lacked in graphics and visual indicators but made up for it in the story and overall gameplay
