Pretty cool, neat idea. I even got the "true" ending, probably on a place I wasn't supposed to be, I think. You should've written "Thank you", people love that hahaha.

Cool :D

Awesome idea with changing the dna, few issues with the controls - wall jumps were somewhat dodgy but a good game overall.

Fun little addictive game, I got so carried away I forgot my pasta was boiling

Great concept - I loved the DNA interface, and the changes it made!
Would have been better with some more challenges other than just jumping on platforms. Also would've been great to be able to see the effect of a DNA strand once I've modified it once :)

Very funny graphics ;) It also was much fun to play around with the DNA to see the effects. Overall a nice game :)

It was a clever idea to use the helix to influence the mutations.

Nice mechanism with the DNA, got past the ending and i think probably to somewhere i hould get to, kudos for putting the level editor in the code, nice stuff!

Great game! Some bugs in level transitions but overall brilliant. The DNA sequence editor was a neat death bonus!

Really like the DNA system. Unfortunately I got stuck in the wall at some point and couldn't get out. A self-destruct key would be handy.

That was interesting. I think you should be able to edit the DNA further as much as you want on death, the user won't know the results anyways until it's confirmed. If not that, a take back or undo for each edit would be good.

This most certainly is a concept worth to expand it more!
