I like your idea, the game loop was pretty easy to grasp as well. Some notes I took during play :
- I like that I can choose my name. Say hello to Sammy!
- The beat challenge was my first, I had a hard time timing it correctly. It felt like I was doing it right. Got there in the end though. Probably a skill issue on my part.
- The bacteria game was a bit confusing. Dragging worked fine. But click didn't seem to respond. The I started spam clicking and it did respond, but I accidently clicked a 'card' on the next screen this way.
- I was missing both warmth and oxygen, but those options always seemed to counter each other. + warmth - oxygen and vice versa
Overall a cool concept. Presentation could've been a bit cleaner imo. The choose a card options in particular didn't stand out to me, so I had to search for them the first time I got to that screen.
Nice job on the jam, hope you had fun :)

Hey Sammy! Thanks for the detailed feedback.
The beat game timing is based on the start of the beat. Maybe that was throwing you off? Also the heartbeat sound plays exactly when you need to hit it.
I’ll take another look at the bacteria game. I did notice there was an issue if you happened to drag a little instead of just clicking, which is definitely a bug
Warmth and Oxygen do counter themselves in the 1:1 upgrades, but there are other upgrades that give each and don’t cost the other. (Does that make sense? Probably not) Ex. +Mood +Oxygen -Glow
also, congrats on getting on the leaderboard ;)
