I clicked past the end screen so I don't know how well I did but I can say for sure I am really good at your game! I will there was some way of knowing how they were taking damage and having a more active something damaging them. That way I wouldn't just be running in circles. Also, I liked how when I stood in the corner with a ton of them the audio stacked and blasted my ears every time!

If you have a moment I'd appreciate it if you'd also check out my team's game!

Very well-done artwork. Not generally a fan of twin-stick shooters, but controlling a spreading disease was an interesting subversion.

Very clean artsyle, the spiders were so well made. I also really enjoyed the player art and controls. Nice one.

Amazing art style! and nice idea also about shoting health and keep everyone safe.

I was a little confused at first as to what to do and thought it might be bugged because I couldn't damage people, but once I saw one of the mossy healbars healed it clicked pretty quickly. The ramp up in time was nicely gradual, but it did get a little challenging to hit some healthbars when a lot of enemies were on screen. Adding a visual hit effect with a circle indicating who was hit would go a long way. It was hard to tell also if the hits healed in a splash effect or single target. Great concept and very unique!

Developer

It was an unintentional but welcome behavior that allowed you to heal in a small splash. An indicator would indeed go a long way and I'll work to incorporate something like that in the future! Thank you so much for the feedback!
