Game Description
Build your own abilities, gain XP, evolve, and forge your own path in this Survivors-like game. Survive relentless waves of enemies as a small mutant creature born from dangerous DNA experiments.
How does your game tie into the theme?
I interpreted critters as small, strange creatures (born from genetic experiments). The main focus was on creating and developing your own critter, which evolved into the idea that you can 'mutate' yourself and build your abilities.

Really interesting concept! I didn't get to last more than 3 minutes, but I think it was a problem of lack of understanding of the mechanics at first. It's quite satisfying to see the MC grow!
Fun game! The customizable ability mechanic is really cool and creative. I wish you could continue playing after the 10 minute mark even if the enemies don't scale any higher.
Really cool game! I love the creative mechanic of editing DNA to create custom upgrades; it's so much fun trying out different combinations to see what happens. Just a heads up, the sound effects can get pretty loud when attacking multiple enemies at once - it might be a good idea to implement a volume slider for music and sfx.
Really nice work!
I really like the game, being able edit your DNA is an amazingly cool mechanic. Well I guess its time to modify my own DNA then 🧬😂.
I really liked it!
it is quite engaging, and a good power fantasy. Gamma power!
Intersting gameplay and idea. Good work :)
I love the idea of being able to tweak your character's abilities! I've never played anything like Genome Survivors before, which gives the player so much control over exactly what they can do. Really fun and great execution.
If I had to make one change I think maybe I'd give players more options at the beginning to start? So they could play around with different builds and maybe tweak things after getting to play some.
I made it to level seven and played for 2:42 (I am really bad at these types of games 😆)
fun game I love the ability creation
Pretty chill game; I love the mix and match abilities. I couldn't get to 10 minutes (skill issue), but I had fun ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
Really enjoyed this game, god idea and well implemented. I expected a boss appear after the ten minutes, but it s ok. At the end i just has to wait they come to die and no move.
I really enjoyed playing this. The concept of putting together your own abilities and being able to change them at will works really well. You should consider building this out further.
very interesting concept. could use a bit more starting stuff to work with and some more polish, but could be a cool game
I found the main idea of been able to modify your own attacks dynamically using the perks and conditions unlocked each level very fun and interesting. I find the potential of creating different synergies quite interesting.
I liked it!
Nice little vampire survivor like. I loved the idea that you can 'craft' your own attacks. The art has it's charm and the game was nice to play. I made it till the 'fly' enemies, which in my opinion were too fast to deal with so I was killed pretty fast after that. Overal, great game!
