I thought this was really good. The music and parallax background made it just fun and moody to wander around and explore. One bit I think could have been better was the combat and labels on the cell types in store (how much the cost and what they do for your stats). I think that'd make this game even better. I got pretty far before dying, but I don't know how to max my stats or do combat effectively, so I don't know if I can beat other life forms. Well done :)
Thank you whilefun!
You can check for the costs of the cells in game by overing the help button with your mouse while on store :-)
I liked the game! Felt like a roguelike (without rooms). Wish the graphics would give a bit more information. I sometimes had to stop the game to look what each colour in the store means. Little symbols would be nice.
Good work!
Really nice! This was actually pretty fun to play, very hard game though. It's fun to destroy enemy and take all their dna though you yourself can be destroyed just as easily.
Perhaps you should have labeled the cells with what they do and how much they increase your stats.
The music was really nice and soothing, made the game much more enjoyable. Nice work!
Very nice idea and fits the theme very well!
Enjoyed playing it! Relaxing gamplay and nice upgrade system.
Needed a little time to figure out how to use it.
If you made the process to collect DNA a bit faster this could be very fun. Also, seemed like enemies were always upgrading faster than me. Can't there be some wimpy enemies so I can feel better about myself? :D Anyway, I enjoyed this. I especially liked how your upgrades were very visible because you added the cells to yourself. With some tweaks it'll be great!
Great work! You succeeded in making a really soothing game.
I notice that you tend to spawn enemies right on top of you towards the edges... other than that, the difficulty levels up nicely with the player. Great concept. I also like the build-your-own-being mechanic.
Great job =)
was a bit odd to have other life forms spawn on top of me and insta-kill from full health.
nice idea for the theme.
good job!
Very interesting, calming music, fun progression and good pacing. Overall, very good!
Liked the parallax background even though it doesn't behave like it should in the vertical movement. The music is great. Idea simple and enough to grasp the theme. Well done!
Playing was fun and I enjoyed bobbing around more than I did trying to upgrade. Nailed the controls totally.
Nice game! I loved the idea of buying cells so I level up specific characteristics of my entity(?). The music and the parallax background are both very pleasant and I had a great time playing it. Couldn't fit more with the theme!
Congratulations, mate. =)
Really hard to judge a game like this. Still though. It has some of the best music I've heard. Great job!
I really enjoyed playing this. It's a zen-like experience, very relaxing. Music is awesome. Front parallax is a bit confusing though. It feels like you should be moving faster than you actually are.
This is reaallly fun, VERY playable. Music is great. Parallax works differently in x and y direction and it seems kinda confusing. But oh boy, is it playable. It's a little hard, but that actually made me want to play more and more. I can see that difficulty scales with how many DNA points I've gained, and this makes hard to survive in the beginning - later it's fine, as long as some big new organism doesn't spawn exactly where I am. Anyway, this is a GREAT game. I love how you attach cells to the organism, it just feels great. Awesome!
really fun game. though once you get up to higher levels it's harder to tell what your going up against as all the npc cells like to overlap more. really like your game otherwise though very fun to play.
Nice music and nice game although it reminds me of the first stage in spore game :) but it is nice game :)
Very nice, relaxing game! The music was especially good. :)
Really interesting idea and that music is so awesome and relaxing!
