++ Really like the theme here, and the visuals look really nice and minimal. Loved the cute little white blood cells (?) jumping about.

-- Game window was really small. Also seemed very hard as it took a long time to kill the red blood cells

Love it, great oldschool style with smooth animations! Boss is a challenge 5/5

I love the art and concept of this game, it was fun to play, I wish there was a full screen mode though

This was awesome! Fantastic job ++ the sound effects were really great and felt impactful ++ the gameplay felt really good. like walking around and stuff was just nice ++ I love the idea of being overwhelmed by cancer really well executed.

- I wish that my gun had more "umph". Like I'd rather see more enemies and be killing many of them than having fewer that are harder to kill - A instructions screen could go a long way. Seems intentionally vague, but I wish I knew more before I got in

Really nice gameplay and graphics but I found a few issues: -The game needs some clearer instructions, it was hard for me to figure out what to kill in the start -I have a 1366/768 monitor and the bottom of the game,the cure bar I think, is completely hidden, so progress is unseeable.

I love the graphics and the player skin, well done!

The game looks good, like that kind of artstyle. Sounds feel nice, but shooting gets repetative. Theme interpetation is interesting.

Really like your pixel art style, nice and strak, good choice of color and serves the gameplay well. Nicely done.

I really loved the game and its art. Art is such a big thing in these jams and OH BOY did you hit the spot. Really nice and fluid! Some sound effects got annoying fast, but that's minor. Took some time to understand basic controls, but after that it was natural. Really great submission.

This game conveys a pretty grim message... It's a good game though, the artstyle and especially the animations are quite striking. The gameplay is quite fluid, but you can really feel the powerlessness. Unfortunately I couldn't play until the end, the game slowed down and crashed just short of the cure-bar being filled. But maybe that's part of the message too (if so, holy shit, that'd be super dark...). It left quite the impact, so well done overall!

I really like the art, sound and general mood of this game. But the balancing doesn't feel right and it doesn't seem the weapon is doing anyhting. Might need more power in that regard and maybe some player upgrades. But I liked the white body cells, that are fighting with the player.
