My favorite game of the jam so far! The mitosis animation + sound effect was so satisfyingly gross. I couldn't ever quite figure out what that red segmented bar was for. I thought it was my health, but when I started a second round the bar was empty. Or maybe it was my health and that was a bug? Anyway, it was such a minor issue compared to everything else. I really appreciated the option to turn down camera shake, though I agree with other comments about the general movement with the cursor being a tad much. Really great job. Even moreso considering you were a team of one. Well done!

Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed! I realise now the health system is definitely quite unintuitive. Basically, the green bar is your health (or "rad"), and your beam and dash abilities consume rad while your swipe attack regenerates it, and the red segmented bars are your lives (or "cores") - so if your rad goes down to zero you consume one core to replenish your rad to 100%. Will definitely add a tutorial later on!
