Cool and innovated game. Cleaver arm and mutation mechanic. With an appropriate font, background and music, you would enforce the immersion. Controls can be improved but are good. That's an interesting proposition.

I really enjoyed the weird arm stretch thing a lot. I wish the background was more interesting, but I get it with the limited time. I think some context to your actions might make the game a bit more fun. For example, if you were in a lab trying to escape and fighting scientists and security guards or something. Or if there was a blurb explaining who the mutants I'm fighting are.
Oh wow! I love the visuals of the character as it mutates, that's genuinely a cool effect!

ACE MetricA quite innovative and interesting development of the theme. But more polish would be nice. For instance, more responsive hits and sound effects. Different enemy types are fun. Great job overall!

Hard to be a GodThe arm stretching mechanic is super unique and my favorite part of this game. The arms ended up getting kind of short and stacked on top of each other, so the game got hard quickly. The aesthetic is super neat! Again, loved the arms.

Gone ViralThank you! The first description I made for the game forgot to mention that the arms break but should grow back faster when you're closer to radiation. (I was so tired). It also might be that the end of the arms follow the cursor's position, so they wont fully extend if the mouse is closer than the length of the arms, unlike in a normal top-down shooter where the bullets keep going in the direction of the mouse. Otherwise its probably a new bug that idk how to fix :/
We tested your game during our live stream today, here is a link to the video archive if you wish to see us play your game: https://youtu.be/lIYv6Eer214?t=9329
Very fun use of the theme. It was interesting juggling between when you should use radiation or health drops and having enough arm length to fend off certain enemies and get a higher score. The random growth was pretty funny too. It might be a little *too* random with the mutation of the arms, but the randomness also kelp things fresh. The game might also benefit from some leaderboard of your highest scores. Can't say anything about the enemy variety because I peaked at around the introduction of the 4th enemy type, I kept slowing down too much to continue, but what I saw was a nice variety.
Awesome work on the project!

SpacedemicThanks so much for the feedback! I ended up only having time for the 4 enemy types, so you did see them all. I should've put a limit on how many lumps you can have at a time so they don't spawn faster than you can get rid of them. (Usually they go away faster than others pop up if you stay on the edge of the radiation instead of the center.)
