Wow,  great job on your game. The art is well-stylized and the gameplay feels fresh and fun. If I was to give one critique, it would be that the player doesn't have much control other than moving. Maybe an aiming system would help? Nonetheless, great game, I hope you guys get ranked well

Really polished and easy to just pick up and play, with a great/adorable theme about tardigrades. I really appreciated being able to click to speed up rolls. I did begin to go a little zombie-mode and stop thinking about my actions passed a certain size but that's not necessarily a bad thing if you're going for a more casual/idle feel. The upgrades could have been more interesting and stacking them wasn't particularly compelling but that's me nitpicking! You made a great game, complete feeling game and should be really proud.

Well that's seriously impressive! Probably the most fun game of the jam for me, with a pretty much perfect presentation and attention to detail as well. It may not be the most creative use of the theme, but it's definitely one of the most well realized games of the jam. With a few more upgrades, a lot of people could be interested in this game, given the success of Vampire Survivors!

Really, really great job to the team! It's basically a complete game!

Beautiful game. very few bugs and it definitely deserves more ratings im glad I checked this one out! this is seriously one of the best games ive played this jam and deserves so much praise. Seriously amazing. the only thing that I would want is for the difficulty to amp up a bit faster. Other than that though amazing work!

5/5/5!!!!! 

I was sceptical for the first time, yet when I play it blows my mind how addicting it could be! I really like the concept, visuals and sound! The cutscene is where the game makes sense!

Good job!!! It's Amazing!

You had me at the tardigrades! This is super fun and quite addictive!

I really love your concept and visuals! Fun to play for a while, though I couldn't get past 10 pieces and was always reduced by dice or enemies. I don't know if that was intended or I just didn't find a proper strategy. Music is very good, but doesn't exactly match the overall setting of the game IMO.

I really like what you did with the theme and adding ability to speed up rolling dice once you seen it before was a very nice touch! Overall a very good job!

I played it during my stream! Here's a recording in case you'd like to see it

This game seems really fun however I don't have a Windows computer to run it. Sorry. But while looking at screenshots I'll give you 13 out of 15 stars

Developer

Well, that's really generous! Thanks :)

Really polished, great looking game. Nice concept. May deserve a little twist after a few minutes (or maybe I keep dying too early to see them?)  but a very good entry either way.

I enjoyed the starting cutscene quite a bit, I also like how the player grows over time becoming more powerful. However the game starts to feel a little boring after a while and the gene mutations take a bit too long to roll in my opinion. Overall good job though! 

Developer

you can left click to speed up the roll :)

The idea of randomly gaining mutations is a great basis, and the game has some very cute visuals that really catched the fantasy of looking through a microscope. I really liked the mood set by the intro cutscene.

Nevertheless, I felt like the mutations were a bit unbalanced, the one that increases the numbers of shots is clearly superior and makes the difficulty trivial. That made me wish it was easier to target some specific mutations by choosing what color you eat. I don't know if it was a design intention, but I don't felt it worked that way.

The dice roll stop is nice, but it gets a bit tiring over time.

Still a great entry nonetheless, it was pleasant to play!

A Tiny Chance is a fun addictive point and shoot type game, one moment you are living your best life collecting all the pieces and next you have been halved fighting for your life from an hoard of bacteria. Its highly replayable and can become quite chaotic at times.

I think if you added the ability to shoot manually with the mouse it would be nice, as at times i found the auto shooting would not shoot at the bacteria i wanted it to and possibly less frequent mutations (however that saved me many times); also a tutorial at the beginning or a guide to tell you the controls and enemies etc would be appreciated as i was a bit confused the first couple of tries xD, but that could've been easily added if not consternated to time.

Overall, a nicely polished game with a really cool and creative art style. Definitely deserves a spot on the top 100, good job!

ps: this is the best i could get

One of the best games I have tried in the jam yet

The great art style, concepts, sound effect choices, and very well polished

When I put it under a microscope (sorry, not sorry) this is a really charming and creative game that was very well thought out!

The presentation here is very good. I love the art and well polished.  The music is good and it just keeps you playing more.

Good job!

Amazing intro to the game! The gameplay itself is also pretty good, and looks very polished. Maybe ramping up the scaling process would make it more enjoyable for casual players.
