So this is kind of awesome?
Lol I was really confused for a second and was about to give up but I spammed the PRINT 3 times and then I stopped having to worry about enemies. At that point I just kept dragging pink enemies into the sequencer and eventually I gathered enough info to make it. I LOVE how I can see some pink parts show up depending on how much I got right. It really gave me that "oooh I'm so close" feeling every time I got it wrong. And then when I finally figured out how to make the pink enemy it felt really good.
So, finished or not, this is a great idea! It functions well and isn't like anything I've ever played. Congrats on making it work!
Hey, thanks!
whoa??? i absolutely loved the game? something about seeing your soldiers turn into the very thing u were trying to defeat, its kinda harrowing...
loved the dna mechanic, it's a really really cool take on mutation!
Thanks. Working on making it even more horrible:-)
I'm still not sure about the letter combos in this game, but once I figured out the grinder thing it felt pretty cool. I like the graphics, humanoid forms are always a challenge. This is a neat idea.
Yes, more explanation about how the genetic codes work or a tutorial would be good.
Deductive part of this game is great - but not intuitive. I think you can make few levels with growing difficulty. But I enjoyed it! Good ratings for you!
Thanks! Yes, a tutorial and multiple levels are a good idea.
A truly ambitious and cool concept, but it could benefit from a bit more polishing. Nonetheless, it still provides a great experience and is a cool game.
Thank you, that's very kind. I think it needs a LOT more polish, and content :-) I'll put some work in it after the jam.
The concept was good! I'd love to see how you developed it further with more time.
This is a really cool concept. I have to admit I initially gave up because I couldn't figure it out (lol) but after a little while I got the idea. Please let me know if you end up expanding on the idea, I think that this has potential.
