I think this is a really interesting idea for a game, but it seems like its too big an idea to get polished in 48 hours. Whilst the features and tonnes of traits are reallly interesting, I think they are too unclear for a starting player. I think if you find a way to on-board and teach people your game gradually, this could be really cool.

Defo an idea worth tinkering around more with; there could be a really interesting finished game in here!

Oooooh, this has SO much potential! Maybe a tutorial stage would help… This is like super hard to get intuitively with the ticking timebomb pressuring you

Nice job!  As a fellow biologist I like that your main mechanic is showing the potential drastic changes of frameshift mutations :)

An original concept but I think it needs better execution. It's way to hard for me to pay attention to every letter in my genes and consider what the consequences of each pick up gives. It certainly has the potential to become very fun.

Really interesting game, probably cause I'm sleep deprived but I kept dying to lack of movement lol

Awesome game, good job.


2 "backwards" traits shouldn't cancel out each other?
