Immediately one of my favorite games of this jam. It was so much fun and so addictive. My girlfriend is a biochemist and she was so obsessed with this game. The art style looked so good. This might be my favorite from this jam. I have been looking for this sort of dna/rna game for so long. great work! 5/5 all around

How does your game fit the theme?
In this game you are a scientist that can genetically modify people through typing on his special computer (it's a game about genes...they're small...yeah)

I love every bit of the look and feel of the game. This is indeed a work of genius!
I like the tight race against time, too. It's just 4 key game but really felt the pressure.
I felt the connection with the theme was a bit weak... Maybe it would have been cool if we could see the actual body being modified realtime (like, scaling up and down...) or is it just crazy to look at? lol
5/5/5 Incredible game! The presentation is beautiful and I love the art style! It's fun and easy to understand! The writing is funny but the difficulty and the lack of pause between each round made me too focus to read the description of each people. I really love the game and I would love to see more of it
Wow very difficult, but fun typing game. The style art and music are all 10/10. Interested in how you'd mix up levels beyond typing keys. Also great job having a very clear intro and tutorial!
Really fun but boy is that timer harsh! I don't think I ever managed to earn more time than I started with on anyone, max I managed to do was 3 (but it was definitely more often just 1 lol). Great job!
Love the vibes and looks of the game! Super clean and polished! Would be cool to see this developed further beyond just typing the right keys. Regardless, good stuff and keep it up!
Simple but with cool writing and art, and also has that nice, juicy/crunchy game feel! As a geneticist myself I was happy to find a game about genes lol.
(obligatory nerdy note, please do not take this as hard criticism): if you ever want to update the game for more "biological correctness" the correct nucleotides for DNA would be A,C,G,T not "U" (U is present in RNA) :)
This is an awesome game!!. The artsyle is so good, the instructions were pretty funny, and the thematic is really original. Im not that good at the game (I could only cure up to 2 genes), but i still had fun. Clever game!
This was so much fun! I'm a big fan of typing games, and it felt really clean and well-executed . The requests were funny, too--dream big, T-Rex guy.
Very nice aesthetic! I like the concept, but it is too hard for me.
Hi, congrats on your first game. Completing it is already a huge achievement. Even more for having such a clean and cozy aesthetic like the one you did. I like how you also managed to add "juice" to where was need, making the experience of playing more enjoyable overall.
I'll list now two things that, in my humble opinion, would have the game even more enjoyable.
- Start the game with smaller gene sequences, and increase than as the game goes on;
- Give the player extra time after completing a sequence. The amount could be based on how well the previous one went.
