Making bacteria and science fun!
Fun:
This was a fun rougelike experience. The general gameplay loop of combining abilities worked well here and resulted in interesting experiences with each play.
Innovation/Theme:
The game type of bacteria and added a twist of symbiosis fighting together was very unique! And you really did see different combinations make you stronger. However, the game could easily be beaten by the first combination. I purposely had to lose just to see what happened.
Graphics:
The art was very consistent all the way through, but during the main gameplay, the overall environment felt a little bland. But when the world is suppose to be a petri dish, it makes sense lol
Audio:
The music was solid and served it's purpose!
Game Design:
The creative direction behind the game was very strong. A very united team brought together a cohesive experience. The only real complaint I had was the controls were a little confusing at first. Always holding up to go forward felt weird when the player is spinning all over the place lol. I kept wanting to do a typical top down player control where w was always upwards, s was down ect.. Overall a project you should be proud of!
