This was an excellent game. I really enjoyed the game play. 

That being said, It is hard to keep track of which virus is being highlighted for attack when they are bunched up. You might want to highlight the health bar of the virus which is being targeted. 

It is a very good game with a great deal of potential. I played it through all 3 levels. You kept my attention for that long

Developer

Glad you enjoyed! Yes, highlighting the health bar would be a great idea actually. Thanks for the feedback!

GJ!  I encountered a bug at the final wave.  I had each white virus spread out but after the first few virus I destroyed I couldn't click on the others.  I'm playing on Librewolf web browser so maybe that caused it.  I liked the mechanic and usage of the theme.  Thanks for the game!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Apologies for the bug. I didn't encounter it during playtesting so I'm not sure what could've caused it. Sorry about that but I'm glad you still enjoyed it!

Great job with the game. Kinda tower defense, kinda Missile Commander. That's a unique game mechanic that was very fun to play. I like that there was an upgrade system involved. Keep up the good work.

Very interesting concept!  Almost like a different style of tower defense.  Felt pretty original to me.

Thanks for playing!

Great little game! I liked the mechanics, there were some strategic depth in trying to juggle the blood cells and determine where to send them :D I would have wished there were more levels, because I started really getting into the rhythm of it and looking forward to the upgrades after each wave. Well done making this :D

Thanks for the feedback! Sorry about the short length. I didn't want it to get too repetitive, but yes, a few more waves probably would've been fine.

This was awesome! I could definitely see this getting very intense and stressful in future, crazier waves! Very nice submission!! 😃

Developer

Thanks! I appreciate it!

This is a really solid game, nice work! The sound effects where nice and I liked the art style. It took me a bit to get the hang of the controls, but it's a really well done game.
