Summarise your game!
(One of the Devs got to round 14, can you beat it?)
The player controls a top down view of the area it is lurking in by clicking to grow cells and build buildings. The different buildings provide different defensive capabilities and can be used in combinations to greater effect. As the player progresses they occasionally receive options to mutate and gain new powers. The goal of the game is to survive for as long as possible.
The player has to develop and maintain a cancerous colony of cells against waves of the host's immune system attacks. If successful the player is slowly rewarded with mutations.
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
Genetic Siege is a biology focused Tower-Defense game where YOU play as a cancerous tumor trying to expand and survive in a host body. As you grow in size you choose mutations which help you survive against the efforts of your host to remove you.

This game is a ton of fun, tower defense games usually aren’t my thing but they really understand what makes a gameplay loop addictive and gratifying. One of the best i’ve tried in the Jam for sure!!
This game rocks!
That was super fun! This is probably one of my favorite games so far in the jam. I love strategy games and the game was really unique. Could use some sounds, but overall an awesome game. Survived till level 14 but I couldn't beat 170+ enemies. lol
I usually don't like tower defense games but I really enjoyed this one. I had fun focusing on a couple of the different upgrades, I really hope you add more. I would also like to see a way to sell buildings.
We are glad you enjoyed playing through Genetic Siege. There are updates daily so make to check back often, we will make sure to add the ability to sell structures!
Cool concept! I am awful at biology so I feel like the basics of this went over my head. But seems like there was a lot of thought that went into this! Good work!
It's understandably pretty confusing without any context! We were just excited to get the game posted and may have jumped the gun a bit haha. We just posted an update with a functioning tutorial that should explain the game's mechanics a little better. We look forward to more feedback if anything remains unclear! Thanks for leaving a comment :)
