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

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

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!
This was pretty fun! I really liked the RTS/mount & blade like mechanics. Good luck :)
Fun game. The toutorial could be done better in my opiinion, Loved the music
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!
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!
