Could you upload a web version to Itch.io or to Ludum Dare directly? Would love to play it but am not able to download ZIPs on this PC.

@mrmaico We have made a web version! You can play it on itch.io now!
Good game. The difficulty escalates very quickly but after that very good
Cool concept, I love the artwork
Thank you for sharing your game! I played both the virus and gemini modes and got to level 5 in each. Playing as the Virus felt a bit more intuitive and I enjoyed chomping on my rivals. While playing in Gemini mode, I someone ended up inside the bottom wall, and then moved through to the other side and into a seemingly endless zone of background and no other mobs. My favorite thing was probably the music which gave the perfect vibe!
Nice game! I liked the music!
@reiale Sorry for gemini :( He's not feeling well yet. We will try to fix it soon, if possible. We know that it has a lot of bugs.
You added the itch.io link under "Windows", you might want to update that. The Parallax background loads slower than the player moves. (We had the same issue and finding the background sprite and unchecking "centered" fixed that for us in Godot).
The Sound was cool and the character movement was really smooth. Attacking didn't seem to work for neither Gemini nor the Virus so I can't say too much about the game. I think it's ambitious to do two characters but I can see where you were going with this.
Overall not a bad entry, just some small tweaks needed I think.
Hello, I played your game! It worked well on web, I found using the gemini to be much stronger because I couldn't help but get hit when I tried attacking as virus. Good submission!
Very cool to be able to play 2 different characters, my favorite is the Gemini.
Good game, could use some work on balance, but otherwise it's cool!
I am glad to inform you that we have fixed bugs related to gemini and some other stupid errors in the code (there is a list of changes on itch io).
really cool ideas here, challenging but easy to pick up. great job!
although there are problems with the mechanics, I really like the music
Nice game! Vwrey satisfying eating germs having been ill last weekend!!
Really nice. I love that the music ramps up that much.
Nice little idea. Once I figured out what I was doing I started cruising on it. I liked the music a lot, as well.
Loved the game! Audio is amazing
Nice ideas, getting Gemini to was quite challenging but overall very fun game. But I had some issues with enemies and food turning invisible sometimes.
This is a delightful entry. Has the addictive nature of a good rogue-like. I died a few times before I learned that the virus needs to be very opportunistic in the beginning! then I had a great run. Things got a little stale when I could just mindlessly ram into everything and regen past it. The perk scaling was very interesting, with a balance between flat changes that are more valuable very early, then shifting hard to "bonus/level" perks to get crazy values. I wish the level-up progress had a visible meter to watch go up as I gobble everything in sight! Screenshot 2024-10-09 195505.png
I have to shout out Pakeika's sound track with this. It's amazing. A real hype-up vibe that kept my energy and anticipation high even when the action was slow. I kept exploring levels just to listen to all the tracks. Excellent work.
Nice game I liked the gemini challenge
Very cool, would recommend
Nice game! really enjoy it. would be better if there is attribute panel to show player's status in game and after game!
The audio and graphics are great. The movement feels a bit too floaty but other than that it is a nice game. Good job! :D
First of all, that music is such a jam. Second of all - woah! I love that you included multiple characters and bacteria types, and it's fun to progress and collect upgrades. I did run into an issue where the upgrade selection was halfway off-screen, but I was still able to figure out what they said. Really fun stuff!
