That's the first game in this jam that made me learn biology!

The concept of time slowing down feels really good, I like this game! The slowing down gives you time to think about your next move while still being challenging. Also, making every stage with a different purpose or a different cell made the game fell refreshing and unique.  After finishing many stages, I felt  like I want a bigger challenge with the same mechanics so maybe adding a boss stage or something like that could be good.

Overall I had a great time playing the game!

Really interesting mechanics, although it took me a while to notice how the time works. I really like the visual style of the game.

Regarding possible improvements:

  • the game could use a fullscreen option - I often accidentally clicked outside the window
  • I'd like to have a mode where you could select just one minigame to play repeatedly (e.g. to practice it)

I really enjoyed the strategic pause and the fact you implemented a leaderboard made the game more competitive. Liked every kind of cell, but I would have liked to play a bit more like the wound sealing one since the parallel movement mechanic is really fun to me as it is tricky

Great mix between wario ware, super hot and shoot em ups!

Really nice game :) Interesting concept, solid controls, and goals are explained well to avoid confusion. I also like the time slowing while not moving mechanic. I could have used that idea while making my game ^^

This is so cool, I love the fact that it's actually based on the real things, one small thing I noticed that when spamming left mouse button to move, sometimes timescale behaves really weirdly.

Wonderful job guys!

It's just soooo unique I love it! It definitely has the potential to be a full game!

Awesome game! Everything is so well done that I honestly don't know what to say. I love the tie-ins with actual science—this could totally be something to give kids to play to help them remember the different types of blood cells and get them excited about learning bio.

Great job!
