Strange game, took a while to figure out how it worked (yet I still don't quite understand the rules). Graphics are weirdly enchanting. Managed to get 4mg in the stomach and then things went haywire.

Love the vector art, it's really something else. Audio is crazy cool and the mood is intense! Tho I wished the goal would have been a bit more obvious!

Oh wow! I love the artistic and musical style of this game. And very innovative gameplay! I enjoyed having to play it a few times to understand how the rules work and how to take advantage of them. Is there a way to tell how many rounds I survived? Very creative and well presented. The effect on the mouse cursor is a nice touch.

Man, the art is incredible awesome! from the animated chalky lines to the speed effect on the cursor. Music is spot on. I managed to tranform my guy into a monster but I honestly can't tell if thats the objective or not hehe.

WOoooo, didn't expected a strategic but wow cool.

Art and sound make up a lot of tension in the game.

Loved the art style and the various line effects.

Personally i'll make the cursor collision a bit better, wasted 5 minutes to understand what to do.

Maybe some winning condition?? Live for at least 10 turns [always died before]??
