This is really wonderful, the puzzles were great and it had excellent game feel. I love the way you utilized the theme, it's impressive that you put together something so complete in such a small amount of time!

Developer

Thanks!! We enjoyed Fishing for Love too :3

Can't believe it's created in 48 hours! The puzzles are so well designed with awesome mechanics. Just a minor suggestion, as we only need to use the keyboard for control, that'd be great if we can restart the level with the 'R' button or even better if the level is going to automatically restart when there is no virus left in the scene. Sometimes I find it not so user-friendly to move my hand onto the mouse and click the restart button. (Becoz I died too much x_x). Excellent game indeed!

Developer

Great idea about the restart button--many people have suggested something similar. Def something to be changed. Thanks!

Awesome game. Polished. Respect the theme. Good level design. Controls are mastered. Great job.

Developer

Thanks for all the kind comments!

Had a lot of fun in the levels, and especially so in the ending screen!

Developer

We like the ending screen, too :P glad you got all the way through the game.

This game is a lot of fun! You could literally just add a little more polish, levels, and perhaps achievements and create a solid steam release (if you wanted to). Nice job guys!

Developer

Oooo that'd be a fun idea. Maybe, maybe. Thanks, EmCannon! We're big fans <3

Fun game! A couple suggestions, though: first, it'd be nice if it was faster to restart and if there was a button that you could press. Also, I'd suggest not restarting the music at the beginning of each level; that was kinda jarring.

Developer (1 edit)

Hi aprzn! Agreed on both points. Easy things to fix, though!

I really liked this game, the art was great, simple controls, diverse mechanics, and well polished. this is a really solid game, and i enjoyed it!

Developer

Thanks!!

This really feels like a leggit Nitrome game. 

Developer

I love Nitrome!! That's high praise in my book.

Very cute. The interactions with multiple types (small and multiply, to get multiple smalls), and the stacking/high jump mechanic were clever touches. Great work!

Developer

Thanks!! We loved your golf game haha

Really great. Most polished game I've seen so far. A lot of other entries had similar ideas, but this was my favorite implementation. I would suggest making the camera zoom-out a toggle instead of a hold.

Developer

Thanks for the kind words! The toggle is a good idea. Definitely something we should think about.

Really well made and polished game! The puzzles are well designed (took me longer than I'd like to admit...) I really like the physics of the viruses, they are really satisfying to control! I would only recommend a restart button on the keyboard instead of having to click something on the screen. Overall really good game!

Developer

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the level design--some of them are tough, don't worry :P

Auto-restart is definitely something we overlooked, hopefully it wasn't too annoying :)

Fantastic game, really fits the theme! I personally got stuck on the first mutation level, though I think the manual restart made me not want to keep trying on it. The virus controls a lot heavier than I thought it was going to, maybe making it feel more squishy in the future could be an interesting direction! Overall, super polished and with an automatic death restart, could be an amazing puzzle platformer.

Developer

I also wanted the viruses to be a little squishier, hehe. Thanks for the nice words!

great game! really fun to play

Developer

Thanks!!

Very good game! Art style is wonderful and well done, audio is amazing, and relation to the theme is good! Only feedback would be to either make the level auto restart on death, or add a quick reset button.

Developer

Thanks for the kind words! Auto-restart has been a hotly requested feature, definitely something we should add if we get back to this one. We liked your game too!

Submitted(+1)

I love the Graphics  and the concept. The music is cool too, but is a bit repetitive after a while. As Renderererer said i couldnt pass the shrink level thing. I also missed a button for Quick Restart!

Developer

Thanks! We worked hard on the art for the game :3

You're actually supposed to collect the blue DNA; you can still beat the level afterward... maybe give it another look :P

Submitted(+1)

no complaints  

Developer

thanks!

Submitted(+1)

Nice! I think the level where you shrink for the first time is impossible(or maybe it's just me) since you can't skip the blue DNA.

Developer

Thanks! You aren't actually supposed to skip the blue DNA! You can collect the blue DNA and still beat the level :P

Submitted

Yep, it was just me. I completed the game. Very cool!

I loved the cute art style and the smart level design. I had a few problems. One was regarding the fact that I had to click the restart button every time all the viruses on screen were dead. The level should automatically restart after all the viruses are dead (At least for people like me who die a lot) :P . The zoom also broke multiple times which brought the viruses out of the screen.

Developer

Sorry about the zoom! We tried to hack it with the holding SHIFT mechanic but it only works in a pinch. The auto restart is a good idea. Glad you enjoyed the art and level design :)

Submitted(+1)

Excellent game! I think the only thing that was kinda annoying were the super slidy controls and the fact that you didn't immediately restart on death, but other than that the game was really great! The sprites were cute, the gameplay was solid, and the game is extremely polished. Nice job!

Developer

Thanks! That's really kind <3

Submitted(+1)

I love the faces on the viruses! There are some really cool ideas in this one. I wish the music didn't restart when you reset the level so I could hear more of it! Great job all around!

Developer

Thanks, 100th_Coin! We loved loved your game too :)
