eh, pretty good.

I enjoyed playing! Maybe just make the enemy spawns away from the player, but other than that very good all around

very cool game! as a biologist i was immediately drawn to this game and it did not disappoint. took my a while to understand everything but its really fun and feels great to play. every time an enemy spawned on me i wanted to choke a small child and it was kinda hard to notice when i take damage but overall one of the games here i spent the most time on (:(:

Cool game. I like the pixel art and the sound effects are cool. The gameplay is simple but it's still fun and the items keep things interesting.

Submitted

Cool pixel art. Nice juice but when an ennemy spawn directly at the player it's not cool. ahah

Great work with the game feel, the screenshake and recoil when shooting feels good. Like others said, the enemy spawning was a bit of a nuisance, but I loved the gun sucking in items.

Hey,

That's a good top-down shooter. Like the others said, enemies spawning too close are a pain.

Nice graphics, good gun feeling (RECOIL <3) and overall nice work (menu, sound, controls, tutorial).

Nice one.   Enemies that spawn inside the player's character cause yelling

Developer

good point! yeah, we need to address that. thank you!)

I like these style of games

Sometimes the enemies spawn so close to you, that you have no time to react. It would be nice if they had a minimum distance to spawn. Also it wasnt quite clear to me that you have to stand in the big red blob to evolve (I think?). After playing a couple of rounds, I got the drift though. Got killed everytime by the unknown substance :(
A nice little game with pretty graphics, gamplay could use some polish tho :D 7.5/10

Developer

thanks! If you read the instructions, you can understand more of the game.

Submitted

Oh man I didnt realize that the Instructions had a scrollbox. Yeah that makes much more sense now ;D

Thanks for clarifying! The upgrades actually are very nice and useful. Still hate unknown substance :( 

Developer

thanks for playing!

I would have liked to play in the browser more than downloading. It was interesting to move while shooting. The concept is good, I think that the enemies were hard to fight and move myself around so that was also fun. Good job! I really like the art.

Developer

thanks! I was going to make a browser export, but I was having audio issues when attempting to export.
