I tried to do a good rundown of a review in my video here:

Developer

Thank you for playing my game! Especially on stream! Thank you so much! As for the controls, on my end they seem responsive and I got my sister to play the game to make sure that the controls were responsive.  I think that the game lagged out a bit when you played it(which might be my fault for poorly optimized code), which made the controls laggy and unresponsive. For the inablilty to spawn the BrainCells, you can only spawn them while your in the air, which is probably my fault for not making that clear enough. But thank you for the response, and for the fact that you streamed my game! I do agree that my main fault in game development is not polishing the controls enough, and in the game the controls aren't as polished as they should be. Anyways thank you and goodnight.

Cool! very nice graphics, goofy and original. Took me a bit to understand what i was supposed to be doing but kept me entertained once i got the hang of it :) Nice background music also. I got stuck a couple of times though, i'm not sure but i think i jumped outside of the level and nothing really happened after that. Sometimes the braincells will bug through the ground also, but still very impressive for a game jam game!

Developer

Thanks for leaving a review! I'm glad to hear that you liked it!

Really good game! Like the atmosphere and the graphics of the game. Love the gameplay too! The one thing I can say is that I think its a tad weird how I can use the down key to jump but thats a tiny thing. Great job!

Developer

Wait... I literally didn't know that the down arrow was used for jumping, but it makes sense lol. Anyways it wasn't intended. Thanks for the review though!

Developer

Thank you!

Intresting game with very good idea. But it would be amazing with more information and tutorial. But great work. 

I would be lovely if you check our game tu and left some feedback. Thanks!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

A very nice game! Cool idea & art. Found a few bugs: when deploying & gathering many brain cells in one place the counter seems to be confused & gets wrong (e.g. I had 8 cells and after a lot of mouse clicks I only had 2). Also the cells sometimes sink into the ground (first pic), seems to happen when they are created too low so that they already intersect the ground upon creation. Managed to finish the game, though. Great job!

Thank you! Yeah, I found the bugs early on, but it's a problem with how the braincells are spawned and such, so I put off fixing it until it was too late, and I just wanted the game to be finished. Thanks for the review!

Loved the idea but couldn't figure out how to progress. :-)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I might've done a bad job telling people how to progress. You have to press "e" inside the yellow weird things to go to the next level.

amazing game, I got the 'you skipped the whole game how does it feel' ending at first lmao. art and music is good, and :0 what on earth does this person eat, instead of saying 'my dog ate my homework :(' they could say 'i ate my homework >:)' 

good job :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks! My family thought I was having a mental breakdown when I recorded that lol, and I had a ton fun doing all of the art in the background. Thanks for leaving a review!
