Ranked from 20 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
One gun firing antibodies is good, but two make you stronger together. Combining two guns in a game gives you a stronger weapon that allows scoring more points

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
With the exception of the FMOD audio engine, all the code and all the assets are written by our team.

This is very fun, interesting idea & design, the art style works for me too. A bit hard for me though, controlling all the guns with the mouse, especially when there are more than two. Regardless, great work mate! ;)

Thanks :) (we are a team tho). Also do know that you can rotate all guns with the arrow keys ;)

It's pretty fun once you get multiple guns but it's really hard with just one. Still a pretty fun game, good job!

I was a bit confused at first, but once I got into it I really enjoyed playing. I really like the art style too :)

Really cool idea! I love the gun-merging system(a bit unpolished tho) and also rotating the guns to fight the enemies is really fun. I do, however, think it's quite unclear what to do at first... How do we get more guns? Overall tho... It is a fun little game.

Thanks alot for the feedback :)
Yeah we would've wanted to add more gun merging and polish it if we had more time.
In order to get more guns you just have to kill enemies, and you'll have a "random" chance to get a extra gun (the bigger the virus, the bigger the chance)

Really fun game, the mechanic is nice and it has a good amount of challenge.

Pretty cool game. I was having a hard time until I actually read the instructions and learned you could merge guns and use the mouse haha. That was a pretty cool idea. It would have been cool to split merged guns as well but you can only do so much with limited time. The hit sound effect reminds me of Plants vs Zombies too haha. Good job!

If you have a second and want to shoot our game a review as well that would be greatly appreciated :-)

Honestly I really like the game but the enemies are really too strong/ appear too fast it make the game kinda feel impossible.. (+be sure that the player know that you can merge cell together)

Well, thanks for playing, and taking time to write a comment :)
It does feel like it after some time, and I ended up in your situation. It's got to do with the way we handle enemy spawning I think (Basically it spawns more and more frequently, but at one point it spawns so much you're overwhelmed)
As for the merging, we did write about it in the game description.

Again, thanks for playing, and giving feedback :)

I still think that a little tutorial doesn't hurt ;)

True.
Sure :D

Nice idea! Adding biology to games is also a plus for me! The only issue I encountered it that the enemies are too strong, but that's it. Cool game! :)

Hey there,

Fun game, very well polished too. I couldn't add more to this but the enemies feel a little too powerful, maybe if you lost all your defenders there is a little barrier to kill all nearby enemy so the player can reset their footings.

Overall really nice game. Cheers!!!

That's a good idea :D
Thanks for the feedback :)

your game is really fun. The only thing i would change is to make the enemies have a little less health because sometimes they seem like they take forever to kill. Overall nice job :)

I love the theme! (I also went with cells lol)
My only critique is the difficulty. If you lose a single gun in the beginning it becomes incredibly difficult to come back from that. Maybe make the loss of a gun more forgiving in some way or give more life to guns?
