Cool game! The mechanics are really neat, and it reminds me of some old mobile games I used to play, so extra nostalgia points lol.
There's not much to say in terms of critiques. The difficulty spike at day 4 prevented me from passing, and the music can get repetitive, but other than that, it's a pretty good game. I just wish I actually learned something about rare diseases. I don't feel like I gained any awareness about a disease, but it's a fun game!
Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the mechanics so far. I understand the difficulty spike at day 4 can be frustrating. Here's a quick tip: try attacking one cell with both of yours and keep attacking. There are actually 7 levels total, and the later ones introduce new mechanics like walls and screen wrap that can be strategic for both you and the AI. If you manage to reach the end, you'll also discover some interesting information about Hairy Cell Leukemia and the role this game plays in the fight against it!
I'll try to find the time to play it again. It's cool that you have this extended content!
If you were to ever revisit making the game, I'd suggest putting information about Hair Cell Leukemia earlier in the game, or at least mentioning that it is involved. I thought I was just fighting a 'rare disease,' but the fact that you have taken initiative and inserted a specific disease is something that should be specified sooner. You could maybe mention Hairy Cell Leukemia in the itchio description so that judges know
Thanks for being willing to give the game another shot especially with so many in this jam! You're absolutely right about putting the information on Hairy Cell Leukemia earlier. In designing the game, I initially wanted the focus to be on the core gameplay loop and getting the AI working but in hindsight, adding little details about Hairy Cell Leukemia at the start or between levels would have provided some context without overwhelming payers. I really appreciate the feedback, thanks again!
