Interesting game! I included it in my compilation video series of all of the GM48 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/po4FqYmf9EQ

Really cool idea, you didn't implement it that well though, the "combat" isn't really explained to the player, and it ends up being a little frustrating near the end, but i still liked the gameplay and there was a nice sense of progress as i kept playing.

Interesting game. I really liked the idea and concept, and I can forgive the collision only half working.
The "combat" and the barely readable text made it really confusing though. And the different stages are kinda hard to identify.

Pretty cool game, though even after finishing it I still don't understand exactly what I was doing. The mechanics could probably be made a bit more clear. I was mainly unsure about what caused me to hurt an enemy instead of an enemy to hurt me. It was still fun building up my base and going for the final attack at the end.

The graphics are cool - the game has a quite distinct style that fits together well. I particularly like how the health for each unit is represented straight on it. Sound would be nice but sometimes these things get left out with the limited time available.

I really liked the concept, although the game has some problems, which is understandable given that, if I understood correctly, this is your first game jam. The swarm reminded me protoss carriers of Starcraft, I would have liked it could eliminate enemies without the needing of press enter.

This game is very interesting. I like how you build up a.. swarm and

SPOILER ALERT end up destroying the body you were in.

I feel like this could make for a good game and this is a nice plot twist. I would have wished that it wasn't the "treatment" though. It feels more plot twisty if you were the bad guy all along.

That said, the game has several issues:

• It's very confusing. Figuring out how you do stuff is weird. Like, sometimes I kill enemies, sometimes they do. I wish there was a reliable way to tell if we were gonna win or not, cause it felt confusing up 'til the end. I see in the comments that apparently, you take damage based on luck and have no power over it? I'm not fond of that (despite my game working that way too, though i let the player try to get the right effect)
• The text is all over the place and it's very hard to read instructions.
• Kinda wished the visuals were a bit more... elaborated

Spoiler Warning:

Ok so was I the virus and by mutating so fast I killed the host?

I like the idea of building up a swarm, and would have liked to take over more of the spawning places, to get the feeling of swarming over the whole map. I'm not really sure I understand the gameplay though. I think I beat it, but never really knew what made me win or lose a fight. I just moved onto enemies and either they died or I did.
