Great game, especially good visual and sound design! The DNA mutation system made a lot of sense, and the game was a good length and difficulty for a jam game! Good job!

Developer

Glad you liked it. Thanks for playing and commenting!

Submitted

You know I don't usually like auto battlers but this game is making me question that. I think you knocked it out of the park both with the music and the design; it looks and feels great. Fantastic.

Submitted

Great system for having the enemy DNA mutate the player. Nice game!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

The art for this is really great. Each enemy looked so detailed, and the background was really great as well. I liked to see the turtle change a little each round. Really nice game!

Developer

Thanks for feedback!

Submitted

Solid entry! Everything worked together so well to make it a fun experience. You all did an excellent job with the art and sound.

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Very fun quick game. I like how simple and yet how fun the mutate system felt and gave the game a fun form of progression. The battles were nice and quick too, except for the Fleshomancer, which felt a good bit longer but was still fun and suspenseful, and yet not too long. The art style, sound, and music was great too.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Fun little battler game, I really like the "genome" stat selection system, it's very original

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Gameplay lowk so addictive! Straight to the point and self explanatory upgrade system love it. Absolutely goated artstyle and music too sick submission!

Developer

Glad you liked it so much. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Wow real nice art direction and overall atmosphere for the game !

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

I really like the concept; the art is also great. This is an extremely well-made game jam submission. Love it

Developer

Thank you for feedback!

Submitted

I'm having a lot fun playing this game. I have never played an auto battler and it is a nice introduction to the grene for me. Very cohesive music and art design!

And the turtle's sprite actually updates on mutation. Great job!

Also: the attack SFX with 4x Speed adds a nice beats for the background music. Not sure if it is an intention in the design but it is amazing!

Developer

The SFX was not intended to match music but it sound like a cool experience. Thank you for playing!

Developer

That was all a part of my master plan, actually.

Submitted

Yep that'd get awesome!

Submitted

It's great to see how my turtle mutates after battling and upgrading.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Really nice art and music with a very easy to understand mix and match mechanic to leveling up your turtle skills! I really liked see the turtle change shape as more mutations took place!

Developer

Glad you found it easy to understand, we were worried it would be too confusing for some. Thank you for palying!

Submitted

Very fun game with a very clean art style and gameplay loop!

Developer

Glad you liked it, thanks for playing!

Submitted

Very solid loop.  I'd like more choices on what or how to mutate. Excellent credits haha

Great art.

Developer

Definitely a lot of room to make mutation more interesting. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

You guys made this in just 9 days...? Holy crap, this is incredible!

Developer(+2)

We sure did! We gave it everything we had. Thanks for the awesome feedback!

Submitted

My congrats to the art fella! The pixel art, the sfx and the music is really beautiful and captivating! I would love to see animations to the characters too! Gameplay-wise there aren't many things to do unfortunately.. I could only press "mutate" and "battle". You should consider adding more interaction and strategic choices to the player because now there is no way to lose xD (unless i'm missing something). Overall, that entry has potential! You should keep working on it!!

Developer(+2)

We had to put aside some ideas, such as character animations and more in-depth gameplay, because the limited time frame of the game jam didn't allow us to implement them before the deadline. Thank you for playing our game, and thank you for your feedback! 😊

Developer(+1)

Perhaps you haven't noticed but there are buttons to shift DNA strand up and down which affect how your character changes. And you can definitely loose if you get unlucky or don't shift strands in a correct way. But yeah there is plenty of room to make the mechanic more interesting. Thank you for playing!
