I like the art shown during the endings.

Cool idea! At first I was confused by the movement speed thing, but then I got the other endings and I think the game gets its concept across in making the un-upgraded run the most fun AND the most difficult. That seems like a tough needle to thread, but you got it. Nice job!
Nice game! I spam click rather than click and hold for some reason, which meant that whenever the mutation screen opened, I was caught by surprise and had already clicked on the mutation before I could even read it. I think if the mutations selection screen was not a confirm on selection, but instead select the mutation and then click a confirm button elsewhere, it could be more playable for numpties like me. Otherwise, good stuff!
Honestly kinda rad having the game balanced around completing it without any mutations. Getting the extreme endings (best / bad) was all about compromising to make your play style work. Really cool concept and execution.
I did run into a few bugs here and there though, particularly with combining some mutations and some shield mutations sometimes turning the shield on? I also don't particularly think it makes sense to unlock shield mutations before you're supposed to have one.
Very fun entry though, good job.
Really fun seeing the character change forms each mutation you take, and some cool ideas on risking taking another mutation vs. passing up on the mutation. It would have been interesting to maybe have some mutations affect your character's speed in a positive way, but I did have to change my playstyle a bit as I kept choosing mutations - had to kill the enemies closer so my slow booty could reach the drops!
Fun concept!
The game is really good, the only problem I had was with the balance - I got +400% attack speed from the first mutation, and I didn't need to mutate anymore. Later, I had so much health that I couldn't even see the number of mutations, and my movement speed was around 2 pixels per second. But I still enjoyed the game.
Very cool narrative options, I love the slow realisation that you're turning into one of them. Simple gameplay but effective, and beautiful music to sell the story too. Well done!
I like the gameplay its simple but mindlessly satisfying. I got a left shot and right shot but my right shot didnt work .
