Cool entry and concept!
I think the idea of a nanobot mech is very interesting and original. Cool!
I was excited because I thought the whole game would have this retro, black and green sort of art style because of your thumbnail, and that's an art style that I really like. The actual game art didn't disappoint though! Just thought it was kind of funny.
In terms of the gameplay, I think it can become a bit repetitive at points. I think the idea of having to be careful with your laser to avoid destroying the healthy cells is interesting, I think you could use it a bit more. I also felt like some enemies were a bit too tanky and I had to hold my laser on them for a bit too long, which eventually made me ignore some of them.
There seems to be a weird issue with the audio, and it felt like the "hit" sounds for your laser would start stacking on top of each other endlessly, so the game felt like it was getting louder the farther along I got. I don't know what could be causing this but I think it's worth looking into! Also, adding some music and more sound effects would help massively in making the game feel more responsive.
Very cool concept, I hope you continue working on it! Keep up the good work!

Hey, thanks for playing our game! Glad you enjoyed the concept and game art.
We did end up rushing the sound design and I may have made the viruses a little too tanky (I tend to get jaded from hitting the same mob a million times when testing). Something we'll try to improve on over time. Thanks for the feedback!
