Nice, i thought the bacteria will be like feeding frenzy,eat a lot and become bigger to get back to the other bigger bacteria. The second one have nice graphic but kinda hard. But all of them are great!!!

Developer

Thanks a lot! 😊
Appreciate you playing our game.

It's a great concept! Nice plot too! XD

You did a great job with the idea — from bacteria to outer space. I really didn't expect that to happen!

Developer

Thank you! 😄
We’re really happy the concept surprised you and glad you enjoyed the plot and idea.

I made it to the moon! And learned many lessons along the way. Such as: hitting GREY asteroids BAD. hitting BROWN asteroids GOOD

Wow… 4 well done games in 1! That’s quite the achievement. That was fun to play!

Developer

Thanks for playing our game! We glad you liked it! 😁

Fun game! Nice music. I hit the invisible boundaries of the cell segment. My bird seems to fade more each time I restarted.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Invisible walls were intended for the first stage (we didn't  have time to add some texture boundaries :D).

Woah! The most ambitious game I've encountered in the game jam so far. Super impressive! I wasn't expecting to become a pixelated Bloodborne man on the moon, but I'm glad I did become one! Great job, super impressive for a jam title.

Developer

Wow, thank you! 🙌
Really appreciate the kind words, and we’re thrilled you enjoyed the journey. Thanks for playing our game.

Interesting project showcasing lots of different styles,  all with great music! I really enjoyed just vibing as a single celled organism XD 

Developer

Thank you! 😄
Glad you enjoyed the variety — and extra points for vibing as a single-celled organism!

NIce  game that combined multiple  mini game into 1 game., 

Developer

Thank you so much for your rewiew! 🙌

This is very impressive.
Love the idea of evolving, and going to different stages.
I must say you did a fantastic job in making the game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback!

Bravo! I enjoyed all the transitions - the cutscenes were very well made. The battle part was a little challenging for me because my character kept wanting to point down if I let go of the movement keys. This was a cool experience overall!

Developer

Hi, we are glad you liked the game! Yes, the character from level 3 does damage in direction according to movement vector and if its 0 does damage downwards. Thanks for your feedback!

Interesting take on the theme. Very well done! Thankfully you added the checkpoints and made the Flappy Bird section a bit easier cause I still died a couple times in that part but I was able to finish it.

Developer

Thanks you for playing our game! Yeah, we added AD controls to bird so its like flappy bird "easy" mode ;D

Submitted(+2)

Very fun game! I enjoyed going through each stage, kind of like an evolution. The music was  awesome!

Developer

Thank you for playing the game! We glad you liked it!

Hey!

I enjoyed this. Cool concept and well-scoped. Having four distinct stages works well. The opening reminded me a little bit of Spore.

Going in blind, I enjoyed the evolution(s) at the end of each level & the controls were well communicated and easy to master.

The progress bar acts well as a hook and kept me going to see the next 'level clear cutscene' and future stages.

I found the bird level a little challenging compared to the rest. Collision seemed a little sensitive!

Great job on communicating a contained story with a minimalist approach!

Look forward to your future efforts.

Developer

Hey, thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback! 🙌

We’re really glad the evolution concept and pacing worked well for you — Spore was definitely part of our inspiration! ^-^

Appreciate the kind words on the design and storytelling — and thanks for sticking with it to see all the stages.

An atmospheric game that takes you from a tiny virus to ninja battles and even a rocket flight into space. Good music, smooth level transitions and great animation. Good luck, Pixel Genesis!

Thank you so much! 🙌

Really glad you enjoyed the atmosphere and transitions — that means a lot to us!

Really creative concept, and great execution across multiple stages. It’s impressive how you managed to pack so much variety into one game. 

Developer

Thank you for trying out a game! We very appreciate that!

realy fun game love how there is multiple games in 1 game haha you gonna expand on it ?

Developer

Hi, thanks for playing! We did a small fix today, for later we don't know :D

Submitted(+1)

Seriously impressive, 4 games in one! It kept me playing until the ninja guy stage. Love the sounds and music, really cool. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot! 🙌

Glad you enjoyed the stages and the sound — means a lot to our team!

Really cool idea for the theme! The only issue I ran into was that when you turn into the guy, I had a hard time trying to attack enemies.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you so much for playing and for the kind words! 🙌

And yep — we totally hear you about the combat during the human (Tribe) stage. We ran into some time constraints during the jam, so the attack mechanic didn’t get as much polish as we hoped. But your feedback is super helpful — if we revisit the project after the jam, that’s definitely something we’ll keep in mind!

Interesting idea. Have you tried Evoland? It has a vibe somewhat of what your premise is (low pixel at the start and as you progress, you unlock higher pixel world, and later 3D!). Good work.

Developer(+1)

Hi, thanks for trying out our game! Haven't heard about Evoland, but checked it and, yeah, they both are built around "Evolution" idea.
