Great audio lol. The effect ideas are interesting, as they change the way you approach enemies. But the controls are a very slippery. Also I'm really bad at controlling anything with the arrow keys which doesn't help… So the gameplay felt more like a struggle to me.

Really clever interpretation of the theme, and the music put a smile on my face :)

The music is great, and the side effects are good, but the player is really hard to control, which is kinda annoying because it interferes with the precision required by the game.

I really liked the way you implemented side effects. I was confused at first but once I got the hang of it, it's pretty neat. Music was cool but also stressful which was cool.

Thank you! I thought about making a tutorial level but it wasn't possible within the time limit. But it's not difficult to learn it by experience as you said. I made the music tense a little bit on purpose so that it fits the theme and the game better.

I liked how you approached the theme with a more biological sense. I managed to get roughly 200 points of score. The thing I liked the most about the game was the "no shooting, touch to kill" side effect. It really changes how the player acts in a way that is a lot of fun!

Great game!
