ugh, such a so cute art style

Very fun game! Super cool art style, very well-made skill tree!

So cuuute this is prob the longest game I've played in this jam so far- it felt so satisfying to attack cells and duplicate. In fact, I did make it to the end of the evolution, so commitment, but wish there was like a final or reward. Also wish there was music. Other than that, super well done, this has so much potential if you guys continue to work on this game.

Wow this was awesome. Im ngl I played for likw 5-8 min before ever clicking and i was very excited to discover the skill tree. Having a little visual to pull that up would def help, but this was srsly great. Sfx were very satisfying, I played until my frame rate dropped to like 1. Great game!

So smooth and peacefull gameplay, its very relaxing, if you continue work on it it can be very good incremental game!

I like the concept a lot. It's a solid foundation for a very good incremental. Maybe a roguelite spin would make it even more engaging. Having a tech tree with dependencies in just 3 days is impressive!

Also, the thumbnail is dope! Very fun & satisfying game, thanks for sharing.

Check out mine if you get the chance:

Love the concept! Impressive how you managed to implement a whole tech tree!

Fun incremental growth game.

I like how the viruses are cute little guys while the cells look like an animated biology textbook. It works together well to give it personality, but also a realistic vibe.

Some music would be nice but the sound effects were good.

The ending was a bit anti-climactic and it might have been fun to see a cataclysmic failure of the host or fight against an immune system but these are both reasonable limitations for game jam scope.

Overall an enjoyable game jam entry

I like how the movement feels with commanding multiple at once. 

A little music and different sound effects would be nice. 

Art is cute and the powerups give enough content

It's amazing! I've been looking for a virus-themed game ever since I watched a video in high school biology class. It's exactly what I imagined, and it's so much fun to play.

Developer

Yes! That video was really fascinating, and it also sparked my interest in biology back then.

That was actually the inspiration behind our intended design, but due to time constraints and our technical limitations, what we made is still far from it.

Cool idea, quite additctive. Sadly I couldn't play end game since it was way too laggy. Would have be nice to get more visual feedback on the dna gameplay, I was lost for the first part of the game. Well done!

Developer

Thank you for playing. Due to the performance limitations of web games, we’ve already done our best to optimize it, but we’ll keep working hard to improve!

nice !

It's educational and i like the approach, It's like a cozy-destroying game.

I expected Lysis burst to do a bit more after you bought it, other than that, nice game! It's fun to get your computer to lag with all the little guys.

One of my favorite so far! Cute and satisfying game
