Solid game 👍
The music slaps, the sound effects fit in, the visuals are nice and the mechanics of shooting, upgrading, eating and enemy spawning are well implemented, though the enemies could spawn further away from you and the bacteria upgrade can definitely be nerfed, they pretty carry you for the rest of the run as soon as you get 2 or more. Still very fun regardless.
Fun, felt like some enemies spawned on top of me a few times
Fun game. Fit the theme well enough. I liked the different upgrades. They came a bit too quickly though. And I thought that movement being relative you your mouse was confusing.
This game remind me the first level of Spore.
You’re right! I always wanted to make a spore like game, but the 4 day timeline (and my junior gamedev skills), really didn’t let me do the game justice :)
Thank you for playing!!
Fun little shooter, altough maybe the upgrades are gained a bit too frequently, making it easy to stack all upgrades quickly.
Thank you for playing!! I think you’re absolutely right. I should’ve looked up a level up algorithm, but I was preoccupied but everything else at the time lol
