Loved the game mechanics, the graphics can be improved later, and overall game is great!

Great concept! Found myself using the scroll wheel a lot to  add more  cells but there are probably other better strategies.

This is so well made, especially the art but every aspect feels really good!  Very happy to see another germ based game too!

I really loved the game, really fun to play. Even in easy mode it was difficult for me :d

Nice game

I have to say, this was on the upper echelon of the more unique games I played this jam. I can't quite say I've seen anything like it and it is satisfying to boot. There isn't much in terms of gameplay loop as it is just two levels with some randomness attached, but the concept lends itself to a lot of ideas to iterate upon it, and that really is the beauty of having such a weirdly unique concept that has nothing to compare against.

The only real piece of feedback I can come up with is that it took me a bit to figure out what some enemies do, especially the one that slows down lead to some unfortunate losses, but nothing that can't be ironed out easily.

This mechanic is so smart and so fun to play with! Love the art style as well.

Nice game ! I find it difficult even in easy mode X) may be I'm just not very good at it. I like the idea of growing our own bacteria army.

It felt cool to essentially attack by multiplying yourself! Instead of trying to minimize losses, you have to defeat the immune system with overwhelming force. It was kind of difficult at first, but I ultimately beat the hard mode level by just constantly swiping my scroll wheel up (which honestly felt really cool) and keeping my mouse in the center of the screen. Even when the screen kept panning away from the bacteria, I could keep multiplying them, and they would eventually catch up with the camera. I could see this being a really unique sort of on-rails, on-the-fly RTS with some balancing to the scaling effect. Maybe there's a resource that dictates how many more bacteria you can create... Maybe to further add to the risk versus reward, you need to consume blood cells to refill it.

i like the little guys!

This mechanic is absolutely GENIUS!   Instantly creates a risk/reward loop and need to develop a strategy.  On top of that, every interaction is super satisfying thanks to the fantastic sound effects combined with cute reactive art.  Nicely done!!

Challenging  game! Art is very nice.

Similar to us. Loved it, I think it requires a bit of balancing so the player can a go a bit further. It made me want to play more. Scaling in quantity using the mouse wheel...felt good..really good

Interesting concept and very well executed! great job there, and the art looks very nice too!

I like the well thought-out mechanics and satisfying game play and sounds for this unique idea. Art looks great as well!

Submitted(+2)

The population system acting as your health, your size and your offensive capability is really well thought! Adding a cooldown when growing could be neat because some sections can be clear by spamming. Great Game! :D

Thank you! We're glad you liked it :^)

A great idea that fits the theme perfectly and forces you to think about the right size to take.

It was extremely hard to me, and I only played "easy" mode!

Congrats, great game with fun visuals!

Developer

Thanks a lot! It definitely takes a few tries to finish both levels, but once you get the hang of it, completing the hard difficulty feels pretty rewarding  :^D
