Nifty and cute. The theme's there, but I'm wondering how voters will respond to level-by-level evolution for the enemy: is it going to be innovative enough to sway people? Don't know, but congrats on a well-executed complete project, and best of luck at LD!

Quite a simplistic game, still fun though. As has already been said, the addition of upgrades and power up is all this game needs to be better.

NEEDS diagonal shooting, a way to get health back (defeating enemies, finishing rounds, pick-ups), mute and pause button. Super basic and not very entertaining, especially without the mentioned above.

Nice games jam game - you should build on this, add more enemies and maybe an upgrade or evolution system. There was quite a nice curve but it would be nice to see later enemies doing different things (lasers?). Good job 4/5.
Thanks. :) I did have some plans for player upgrades too, and more enemy variety, but you can only do so much in 48 hours. Right now I'm thinking I will work on an improved version and add more features like that.
Experiments? I guess you might look at them that way too, but honestly the fiction of the game isn't really well developed. :P The point is, you're fighting against rapidly evolving natural organisms. I suppose describing them as lab experiments might make more sense though given how the game actually works.
Yes, I agree. I ended up not having time to implement player upgrades in the 48-hour timeframe. I'm thinking about continuing work on the game and adding that stuff to the new version.
