- I like the game idea, I think if you had more time to flesh out the game feel for moving the platforms around you would've aced it, I found it a little difficult to move around. The art is amazing I love the old PS2 style you've gone for, and the virus creature model is cute, love that. I like the flow you've done for the itch page too, in terms of putting this on a portfolio, add some concepts and how you got to your idea as thats what developers want to see when hiring in terms of art. Really good game I enjoyed the idea. --- Really enjoyed this game, such a clever concept I really think this would be a good idea for a full game release. I was not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. The controls were a little clunky and the use of the cube, jump pad and bomb were a little unpredictable. Great job in getting this done in such a short time period.

The platforming felt a little clunky, but I can't fault it too much because it did on my UE5 game as well. Overall, I thought it was really well done and just in need of a few tweaks!
Me and my friend enjoiyed this game, but we found the platform mechanic a little bit annoying. Other than that, the idea was really cool!
The mechanic of spawning moveable platforms for yourself is pretty interesting, and the concept of the game is cool! Unfortunately, moving the objects that you spawn is really awkward and finicky. It's also a bit annoying when viruses spawn below you and damage you before you could see them. Still, a good experience!
