Theme Interpretation
You're a single cell that survives by mutating. Each level-up grafts a new mutation onto you — extra arms, spines, venom, unstable traits, or splitting into a bonded molecule of cells — so every run evolves into a different organism. The enemies are mutant cells too.

Cool interpretation of the theme! Nice execution on the minimalist ambience and the enemy variety. I also like how you can see the mutations growing on the character, adds to the strange cancerous theme.
Really solid entry and a strong base to take it further I think. I love the use of the theme as well, fits so nicely with survivor shooters - and to visually see mutations grow on you per upgrade is a nice touch. I think to add a bit more juice to the experience, maybe the movement has a bit of deceleration (a bit of drift) while moving, since it feels like I'm in liquid or a petri dish - organic movement like what you'd see in the older game Flow (for reference).
Great entry and nice play on the theme!
I really enjoyed this entry. Even though the graphics were simple, I thought the game looked really great because of that. I wish the health bar was connected to the cell since I fogot to pay attention to it. Nice entry!
Like the style and colours. It's effective. A parallax background background might be nice. A little more sound and some music would set if off nicely yeah. Maybe a little too easy. There are a good lot of mutations which probably makes it difficult to balance in a short time. Nice.
Hi, your game turned out to be quite good and interesting, I liked the fact that you managed to add so many mutation selections in just 9 days. But it seems to me that there is a little bit not enough audio in the game.
