It has been a pleasure for me to have composed the music. :)
The controls with the mouse pointer are a bit confused, but it's right.
It took a little bit to get used to the timing on the attack mode, and it did seem like the red cells were too sparse to get very far, but it was fun.
The music was nice and fit the mood the rest of the game created pretty well and the visuals were nice. It all fit together pretty well.
Would be great if you check out our game as well!
The gameplay itself was quite fun albeit very simple. But the concept definitely has potential to be expanded. I was not entirely happy with the controls, since it was quite hard to pick up red blood cells if they weren't very close to your path and as a result it was quite hard to get your health back up. I guess what I'm getting at is that things felt a little bit too much out of the player's control.
The theme was not explored that deeply in this one, which is fine. But I can certainly imagine that the virus could be given more forms to maybe beat different kinds of challenges.
Nonetheless, the game is good and looks very polished. Good job.
The only thing I missed is feedback (sounds, particles, animations) but it's awesome to see what you have archieved by doing all the graphics and code.
Why transforming draws you HP (a bit less) like when you collide with a white cell, that makes dodging (hard!) more advisable to survive D:
Again, good graphics !
The graphics fit really well together, it doesn't look like like a Jam game.
