Cool entry. The functionality is very good and it was fun playing. I would love some more visual effects for each upgrade in order to feel the actual mutation happening but i get that its hard in such short period of times. Moment and cotnrols are smooth. Great work!

This reminds me of my submission for GWJ #92... nice job with the upgrades and tying it in with the theme. It was difficult to pick up the XP; a magnetism mechanic would've been nice especially since the mobs swarm and overwhelm pretty quickly. Nice job!

I love this genre of game. I had a lot of fun playing it. I agree with a previous comment that it feels like the hitbox is a little too large for the rat. Also, I felt like the DNA was a little too hard to pickup (no magnetism at all). But, maybe I didn't play long enough to get that mutaiton. Overall though, it was a solid entry and I'm glad I had a chance to play!

Very challenging, but I think part of that is because it feels the hitbox on the rat is larger than the rat itself (at least it feels that way).  Some of the later weapons are great - fun concept!

I like the game! it's kind of similar to what I made. I liked how the combat was fast and high stakes and alsoo what were they throwing at you? Anyways the hit boxes felt unforgiving and the upgrades felt linear, other than that the game felt satisfying to play.

I played the game for a very long time because I liked it! Everything is very well implemented!

Fun game and cool style :) It looked like the experience started despawning at one point which made it tough to progress. Not sure if that was intentional or not. Nice job though!

We had a similar idea! This was very challenging and fun good job!

The game is really tough, challenging, and fun! It's just that new weapons were added way too late for me to be able to choose them.
