I ran into some bugs!! But the concept is pretty cool, I like that it reminds of Warcraft III a little bit!! Played at https://twitch.tv/hedge_in <3 vod Day 4 @ 1:50:10
Wow an entire rts that is so impressive. This was so fun I would get this on steam if it was expanded upon.
Really impressed with what was created here. An RTS is a difficult game to make with many complex moving pieces. I had a good time building up my base of impenetrable turrets while bombarding the map with cellular artillery.
Definitely one of my favorites I've seen from this jam. Yes, there are some bugs, but the theme is awesome and the overall execution is great. The game oozes style, the pixel art is great (I really like all the animated details) and most importantly, you went ahead for a full send making a freaking rts as a solo dev. That's such a bold move and the fact you almost nailed it is insane. Great job Piranha!
Cool game! A little hard to select the units you want and direct them, but I like the theme and vibe of the game. Great work!

This has a complex RTS system for a 4 days jam, excellent work!
First off, excellent work for a 4 day jam. There was a lot of depth to the unit system, with all the different... uh... units. I liked the art style, the heartbeat added a sense of tension. The music got a little repetitive towards the end of my play through. I did encounter some bugs, but the dev was around for the playthrough and knows about them. The main I would want to look at is the selection clicking. In a game where it is a case of frantically on units, you really the clicks to not register, or select the wrong thing. Great entry, well done!
A really cool game, Fighting those germs all day, had to physically stop myself from playing too much.
An RTS for a game jam! That's awesome! Cool take on the theme and engaging gameplay. I really enjoyed playing it.
Really cool game, you can tell a lot of thought went into this! Definitely challenging, but that's more of a compliment than criticism lol since I love challenges. Great job, and I really loved the art!
RTS ! Truly living my zerg main dream! haha Great work and interpretation of the theme.
It was really enjoyable. Good job!
Great job, well done!
B-Cell rush !
Pretty good overall! Had a little difficulty figuring it out at first but once I did I was able to make some progress. I do think it was slightly too difficult so that could be tweaked. But solid overall!
I enjoyed playing this game
Wow really nice take on the theme. We love the color palette and the art style, the music its really nice as well. Awesome job!
Cool that you made an RTS for the jam! Had some cool units and would be cool to see this idea expanded! Had some issues with some standard RTS things missing like selecting multiple units and bugs where the UI wouldn't show up unless I clicked around.
Hey thanks for playing, yeah noticed the bugs too late to fix, luckily the ai is also somewhat bugged and they get dumb so it makes it easier. I have more stuff planned I had to cut cause of time, like t-cells, and others. I learned a whole making this game though.
