The guns are satisfying, like bubble wrap.

Hey I liked this quite a bit, very original setup on a classic genre, loved the data graphs and felt a need to experiment with my bacteria killing ;)

Super fun dude!! I really like the unstoppable flocking AI and then switching weapons was really tense combined with aiming and avoiding. I liked the choice of weapons but found I wanted to use the missile launcher all the time. It was sinister.

The sound was also really good but overall I though it was great and really polished. Thanks for sharing this gem with us.

Hmmm. I did enjoy playing, but by the end I just felt like a shepherd since the best strategy seems to be to set up an orbit around the enemy. Despite their having different speeds, they group pretty well if you just circle around them and act like a solar body.

I think you should throw in some that move differently, perhaps instead of going towards where the player current is, some would try and move where the player will be based on current direction and speed. This would make it more fun and more challenging! I was camping the whole time xD

I loved the game, but felt like the enemies moved maybe a bit too fast and it didn't have enough of the 'Evolution' element in there (that was as easily shown)
