absolutely amazing, the dna + combined with the lack of movement makes this game truly great. Can't wait for the sequel!steam://launch/2891310/Dialog

Boring not enough progression
推爛
a cute way to implement biology into a videogame ;)
rockin little defense game. big fan of the permutation gimmick. ♥♥♥♥ rocks.
It has a solid concept up the UI is absolutely awful and confusing. Text overlaps each other and there's too much stuff on the screen.
This game is great! Dev: microbes spawn off the left and right screen edges if you play shmup mode on a portrait screen, leading to hits from microbes you cant see.
17 hours before I completed the "main" path and I had SO much fun doing it. This is an AMAZING game, especially if you love tinkering and optimizing; however, even though it's hard, it can totally be played casually. My first "win" (wave 30) was entirely casual, I wasn't tryharding in the slightest. Game explains more than enough with a little hint of snark (which is deserved at times, honestly) and has lots of character.

this game is so dang fun when it comes to all the weapon customizations, i havent even gotten halfway and i unlocked the jocker tower and it sped run me through the game and i ended with like 3k moneys and honestly was astounded by the randomized gameplay, this is one of the most replayable games ive ever seen with a few thousand hours of gaming
