Use of the limitation
I incorporated the "You are the enemy" limitation by inverting the classic hero role. Instead of defending the host, the player takes control of a deadly, mutating virus swarm invading a bloodstream. The actual "heroes" of this biological world are the white blood cells and antibodies trying to cure the body, making the player the literal enemy of the organism.

Very fun, the loop game mode feels a bit too easy to me, maybe consider having the difficulty increase with time if you are going to continue this project.

Hi, I saw your game one of the first. It really amused me. But I didn't feel like an enemy. I'd be glad if you liked my game too.

Fun time! Some visual bugz and a lot of stuff going on, but still has very nice gameplay loop.

It's super fun with great music, and it even taught me some biology.

Developer

Thank you!!! It was also useful for me to remember a little bit of biology ;)

The art style is really charming, and I especially admire how the game gets so much mileage out of a limited set of sprites. It’s a great reference for turning a small amount of art into a complete game.

Developer

Thank you very much, I have my first such a more professional experience.

Cool game. I played this game probably the longest, but I didn't really feel that I was the enemy, even when I was a virus in the game. But still, it's really fun. Great job!

Developer

I'm very pleased to hear such things about my game and I'm glad that my work was not in vain. Thank you for such feedback !!!!❤️

The game's just a completely black screen for me. I see the Unity logo, but then it's just pitch black. The music sounds pretty chill tho.  No clue why this happens on my end.

Developer

I'm very sorry that this happened, I checked everything should be fine, I also checked on other devices, everything is fine on all of them
