Really interesting game ! it took me some time to figure out what was going on, and I'm not even sure I understood everything correctly. Though it is very fun to play and watch these little cells moving around. They really look like living entities. Well done !

Very original. Had much fun playing it. The UI and the sound feel great. Nice Job!

Stranded MonsterAmazingly fun for such a simple concept, I would look at the range on the cells, perhaps they should be leashed if the enemy gets outside a certain range (I had some chase enemies right off the screen. This also could be a function of the scaling, it didn't work overly well for meit was really hard to read some information and see some of the UI. I love the randomized upgrade trees, but I did find the ranged cells were a bit OP compared to the attempts when I didn't get them.
Love it overall and can't wait to see more.

CottonwoodVery fun and promising for sure!
I had trouble understanding what was happening, and I could not go very far.
But I have the feeling this could blossom in a beatifull way!
My high score for now is 48.
Certainly the most polished game I have tested this week!

Chaos SolitaireI will start with suggestions: the UI text is way (WAY) too small, I wasn't able to read what each mouse click does (before opening the game on a full screen). Also, I was extremely confused in the first try since I didn't understand what was going on at all. Funny, though, that this try was the most successful one XD
But in general, once I realized what is going on (I actually read the game page, without it I would be lost), the game turned into something truly satisfying to play. Without a joke, the sound design is probably top 3 of the games I've played from the jam. I was ready to give the game a second chance after a huge confusion because of the sounds. Your skills at making them is amazing!
The concept is very challenging yet interesting too. In fact, I've never seen something like that before. The originality is 10/10. I just wish you consider continuing working on the game, and make a full fledged release with it, different levels etc. Loved it!

CTRL and RollHey awesome game! The style and ambience is great.
Mechanics are nice and simple. I like how you can override cell behavior, but if you're far enough into a level, you may be doing so at your own peril since they move relatively slowly.
I think I agree with most of the feedback here, in a more polished version I think an immersive tutorial would be critical given your minimalistic approach. I do think that the level up does not really feel like a level up, I actually thought I lost the first time, and then realized what happened (could be just me).
Following you to see the final version of this!! Keep it up.

UnsurvivorI really love the simple and bold presentation here. It really suites the gameplay! Great take on the theme as well! I had fun, and would love to see where this goes one day! :))

Ice Cream Boy and the Magic BulletGreat game. Loved the clean, simple visuals and everything else was top notch. Great work!

Robo Push PoleThis game was very interesting! The sound really made it feel organic. I also like how you want to spread out the units and then call them back when something big appears. Although the enemy ranged units felt too good.

Fling FightersMaybe I just sucked but it felt really difficult, I struggled to get to a hundred points. The animation and audio were superb, though!

Ctrl CannonSuch a simple and beautifull game, really like the whole aesthetic and the gameplay. Great work!

The AstronautVery relaxing game. I love how simple the art style is. If the game had more stuff to do, like growing the spawn and fighting more complex creatures, I could see myself playing it a lot.

Dog Home AloneI didn't think I would like it so much, the minimalist look is always attractive! The way the icons are appearing is beautiful, the visual and sound identity of the game are really good! I just thought that the "tutorial" in the main menu was too small to read, you can lay out that little detail better, but other than that, I have nothing to complain about! Excellent job!

Tri gone mETryi really enjoyed the game! it probably would help to have some icon to the upgrades, so its less reading^^ but still a very cool game and feels very great in terms of controls!
