I really enjoyed playing, only made it to stage four but enjoyed it! The graphics were deceptively cute and almost made me feel bad for the little viruses, I loved all the animations and the art in general was just very well done. I had fun!

Great game! Interesting take on the theme

I'd play this as a full game. Needs a bit more variation and whatnot, but I feel this could work as a full game release. Great execution.

Really fun to play, I love the art and love seeing the mitosis as a way to spawn new enemies. The only problem was that I didn't know what would cause me to lose until I ran into a cell, other than that, amazing work!

Nice game!

I liked that the movement of the gun around the area very literally represented the 10 second timer. The little monsters were cute, and it was cool that each type had its own kind of movement. The music was great, I wish it didn't restart when I died :)

The gameplay was ok, but some things could have been improved. The beginning of the stage was extremely important, perhaps too much so: you could miss an enemy that is already in the path of your gun, or you could do badly with your shots overall, getting flooded with too many monsters as they eventually multiply. On the other hand, once the arena was down to 4 enemies or so, it was a mostly tedious process of making sure all the enemies are frozen all the time, then lining up shots to remove them. I also found the loss condition of a monster running into the gun a bit random.

Super fun, and the soundtrack was great! Some audio feedback when the laser is ready would be a great small improvement.

Awesome soundtrack and great gameplay! Very nice use of the theme. One improvement might be to add more visual cues and also to address how long it takes to destroy the last few enemies in each stage.

the use of the theme is really good, i suck at the game though and couldnt get past stage 1 but it's a me issue not the game haha, really tight full game

Pretty fun, and it's pretty challenging to hit a lot of moving germs with the laser :D

Quite cute! Game mechanics work nicely, however Im not sure what is a germ and what is not, visually. Maybe use a more distinct color codes or icons... ;)

got to stage 3 before a blue bacteria decided to evade the petri dish. the idea and mechanics are very nice, i really liked the art and sound too! great entry!

I liked the concept of the game!

SFX were maybe a little bit too loud, although the music adds a lot to the atmosphere. :microscope:

The game felt pretty unique to me cool game :)

asfdfdfd 2022-10-18 18:12

I want to shoot those damn aliens!

darzu 2022-10-20 03:17

Like the idea! I like freezing a bunch to line up a nice shot. I don't quite understand why they broke out and got me, but I guess i wasn't fast enough haha

Love this game. Great sounds, graphics, mood.

Never seen a shooter with this circling around the enemies mechanic. Very unique.

Nice job!
