Nice game, but could explain powerups, enemy types and change that 'extra life' to not take up additional space (or add firing options to it!). Controlling more than one MO (Micro-OrganisM) is hard, but WOW does the game get hard quickly. The white blood cells are annoying too - but the main thing is you only have one life, no exp over time, skills etc. It can do with improvements. The best part was the cutscene - 3/5 from me, can be a 4... if you work on a few things, such as updates to cover feedback.

Thanks for the feedback, pals! I'm curious to hear what others think of the difficulty. Would it help to reduce the HP of enemies?

Best part was the beginning,i thought the cutscene was great!Game gets too hard too fast though sadly,as when you have 2 gens or controlling 2 people,your health is not shared among the two and you lose on upon the first hit,although i thought it was odd on how happiness was almost like a diseas if you think about it in this game O.o 3.5/5 if i could,4/5 since the story was pretty original,and decent gameplay.Not much to see here,but its worth giving a try if you got nothing else to do.

I don't know why this has such a low score, it's a great game! Very well done!
