In what way does your game fit the theme?
Random Spawn waves, its not the player that do the action, the captured minions do the play, its on them
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, code and graphics, the musics are open license for non commercial

This was pretty fun to play. The aesthetic is really nice and the camera movement based mouse movement felt good as well. My only main issue is that it's a bit buggy. When I died it glitched out the game and forced me to restart if I wanted to try again. But otherwise, nice job!
yeap, I only found that after I uploaded the game, but hey, It is my duty to finish this game for your you guys, really want this game to be cool.
thanks for the input man
You really made it feel like I am in someone's body causing havoc! This was a grossly fun experience hehe
you were the body that was infected all allong, to play my game, your brain was the goal, so mission sucesseful
nice game
thanks man, cheers
This is a cool take on the theme, even if it does make me a little uneasy. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to play this much after the first organ. The camera following the mouse made it super nauseating and I had to stop.
I liked the idea though! Turning the tcells into more virus is thematic and chaotic. Well done!
edit - the text isn't on screen quite long enough for a slower reader. I had to restart once to be able to see it all
thanks for the support, sad to know that you had problems with the camera mouse follow, you are not the first to say that, noted thanks
Nice game! well done!
awsome man, thanks for the suport!
really fun and innovation, u made a great game!nice bro
Thanks man! super a apreciated for the suport!
Nice top-down idea. Gameplay is fun too!!! Levels take too much time but you already wrote.
thanks for the input man, hey again, loved your game, cheers!
noice u did an rts as well
Kinda 😅
Hey brother you've got yourself a really nice game here.
brothers in arms!
Cool game!
Really nice audio and environment
It all felt really immersive
Except the camera
The camera felt kind of shook a lot as I was trying to maneuver and it made it really easy to lose track of myself
A bullet hell game where you're not allowed to shoot is a bit :c but I appreciate the strategic element at the same time
It would be cool to make it more obvious what pressing E does in terms of commanding your minions
stick arround for the updated version man, thanks for the help!
From one Justin to another, I loved the idea! I unfortunately had some issues when I tried to start a new game, and I was not able to shoot
thanks for the support man, will clean this game once the jam ends, thanks
Biology meets bullet-hell, awesome idea!
Really love the feel of the game and having an army of 'minions' to do the work for you feels fun! I wish it would be possible to give them more precise controls, I'm not entirely sure what the 'E' button does exactly just a binary switch between following and attacking? I felt the tutorial was over before I had the opportunity to absorb all the information. The difficulty ramped up very quickly when the big blue guys showed up and unfortunately after that I wasn't spawning any bullets on my next try (I think it might be a bug). When I died, it was not exactly clear to me why I died, I think I still had health.
I play on a widescreen monitor and the buttons on the start menu (which looks totally amazing by the way) seemed to be misplaced (I had to click slightly beside 'start' to get the game to start). Speaking of graphics, they really turned out fantastic, I love the parallax effect and all the particle effects. The music really felt great and fits the gameplay nicely, but it was a bit jarring when it just went silent all of a sudden. You definitely used way too strong screen-shake, made be feel a bit sick almost.
Great job on the game, its certainly unique!
loved to hear you comment man, yeap, all those that you said, stop on, I just want to take a break from game dev and I will clean this game as best as I can.
Man thanks allot for the support, can see that you really enjoyed it,the best for you, will checkout your work,
cheers!
This was pretty fun! I really liked the RTS/mount & blade like mechanics. Good luck :)
awsome thanks man
Fun game. The toutorial could be done better in my opiinion, Loved the music
yeap, the good dam time to deliver ran out! :P
Good Work! i like this
thanks man, love to ear those words, you reached the brain?
I've installed this twice, and every time I start it it says "infection failed" and restarts. Am I doing something wrong?
No, this sounds like a bug. Sry, didnt expect this behaviour.
If you want to reupload a fix, message me with the updated version and I'll give my thoughts on that :)
dam.. wish you could play it, but yeap will post you with an update version when done
This game is so well designed. Losing health when shooting was a great idea. It all leads to very compelling and intense gameplay. Commanding the army feels really powerful. Great job!
I bow to you man thanks allot!
Very nice idea! Really satisfying to see a bunch of cells fight, I would suggest a completion/boss bar to show the progress of each organ. Overall really nice game, good job!
yeap, that idea came to mind AFTER submiting, but well, stays for the next updated version. thanks for commenting
the heart level takes time to pass, almost could not update the game in time and the win condition in the brain is bugged, if you restart th game you cannot shoot, tutorial is to fast paced, will update the game after the jam
Epic Game Idea, Good game feel, and Nice Effort :)
Thanks man apreciated
