Have the error during loading the game: "The browser could not allocate enough memory for the WebGL content. If you are the developer of this content, try allocating less memory to your WebGL build in the WebGL player settings."
I have 4 GB of RAM, by the way...

Game doesn't run in Chrome or Opera, but runs in Firefox and oh my, it's beautiful! Could use more feedback on "eating" a genome. Screenshake? Lights? More particles? Great experience!

This is really fun and looks great. Doesn't work on Chrome, but on Firefox it's beautiful.
Very addicting and the music is really awesome! Wish the levels auto-advanced as you completed them, was a little confused as to how to change levels at first. This would break the two button part of the theme, but I was hoping the further levels would have more genome colors. I also get a memory warning from time to time, but usually runs fine.
This game is really good looking, if I win a round the first time, I have to go back and lose again just so I can see the death icon :D
I can tell you put in a lot of work, great job :)
awesome game! realy realy difficult but also very fun! the sound and graphics are amazing, good work!
Tried three browsers and cannot get this to run :( shame as it looks interesting. Gimme a shout if you manage to figure it out!

Excellent graphics. I found it somewhat difficult to see which track the checkpoints were on but maybe that's the point.

Great idea, great game, love it!
I find it a little buggy or shaky from the 3rd level, but it's just great and fun to play! Visuals also excellent and nice sound.

Oh my god, I love this game! There are some bugs that makes me a bit nervous, but for the rest: Well done.
Very cool graphycs ,but i didnt get how to play(
super polished graphics and overall feel.
tough but fun gameplay, with very nice audio.
overall, this is a really solid entry, I loved feeling a bit like a mad scientist creating horrible mutations haha, nice job!
Damn good game! Got occasionally a bug where the game wouldn't spawn these button press entities, but I didn't mind that to much.

Good art work, the visual effects are exelent!
para smartphones seria bastante interessante
Neat concept. Good use of the theme.
Interesting game. It was very hard, but also pretty fun!

Cool game but has a few bugs.
Running full screen the graphics didn't line up making it really hard, and sometimes I got the missed effect directly after a hit for no apparent reason. Also it seems like a rhythm game but the music didn't seem to correspond with anything. Cool music though.
I would have also be better if it saved your progress. I kept accidentally restarting the first level.
Some levels also have the first way too soon, before you have a chance to judge the speed.

Looks amazing. Good challenge. maybe a little more leniency in the presses. grade them as weak - strong bonds.
Loved the look and the music, but I just couldn't work out how to play. I tried to find instructions but there don't seem to be any.
It seem like you are meant to hit x when the your orb (the one with an x on it) moves through another blue orb? And the same with y for the green orbs? Except, it seems like they rarely go right through each other - lots of them just float past without ever touching either orb, causing an unavoidable miss.
Other time the blue orb would pass through a green orb leaving me confused as to what to press. I never managed to succeed on the first level, though I did try them all anyway.
Overall, art and music are great. Shame I couldn't work out what to do!

Great entry! Gameplay and graphics are awesome :)
Awesome game.
I can only say that quite often I got false negatives because I was introducing the right sequence.
Nice concept, interesting but frustrating. Good mood from the combination of good, consistent visuals and music. Well done.
This is really a great game. Very simple system, yet big fun. Visually very pleasing too.
The game is really complicated but the feel is very good. Good graphics, original gameplay... nice job!

Awesome music! Great idea! I love it!
I've made a short let's play video if you want to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfEVSiI9fFk
Really surprised you disallowed audio ratings. The different tracks of music was great! The concept, graphics, and execution were all great too. Well done!
A couple of things though. Starting back on the menu with the last level attempted selected, or having a restart button would be nice. Also, the "miss" screen seemed to appear even though I successfully got the nucleotide.
Really great game! Nice way to implement the themes, epic music and a nice difficulty curve (I really felt like achieving something after finishing the first level). Too bad I could not find out how to go to level 2...
Pro:
+ Great graphics and music giving a nice mood
+ Very cool concept and mechanics
Con:
- Sometimes it gets really hard with the random positioning, sometimes I also receive damage upon start, I guess there is a node right at the beginning
Obs:
o Got stuck in level 5
Awesome work!
Had a couple of bugs happen, sometimes it was say "miss" even though there was nothing there and I wasn't pressing any buttons. Weird. Also after beating stage 1, the next stage weirdly didn't unlock first time.
Other than that, fantastic graphics and simple but effective gameplay. I really like the atmosphere with the music and setting.
Great stuff! :)
I really like this, the graphics are neat, the idea is amazing and it fits well with the theme. I still kind of feel like a tutorial would've helped me figure out how to start out. Overall, very good game!

This requires some focus. Once I get into the "zone", I can manage, but it sure is a brain-bender. I've seen a few similar games in this LD, but this one looks and plays very well (as to be expected by a jam entry).
Really interesting concept. Love the graphics and the way you use some post FX. Thumbs up ++

Whoa, great idea! The graphics are beautiful and the game is quite challenging!
Made me imagine what would be if we had the whole four bases of DNA pairing! :P
