At first, I didn't understand what I had to do... But the game can be easily learned through trial-and-error. =D
(Though I memorized only a few mutagens... xD)
But with boom and die you just doing all the killing yourself before they even started fighting, maybe it would be better with only positive effects.
My first game took a long time, so in the end the action blocks were flying past very fast, and the computer was using them as fast as they came, so in the end it won. In subsequent games I had learned the blocks well enough to win the game every time early on. But a good mechanic for making sure the game ends sooner or later :)
I didn't really get the role of the clouds (I just glanced over the instructions though).
Maybe a bit more visualization of the creature properties could have been nice (e.g. make color darker / change hue to reflect e.g. their level of attack - or maybe latest added ability)
Great job

@cappelnord, @JonathanG, @dekart:
I think I make more strategy version soon. I think about two modes: first strategy mode(more slow and long) and crazy mode(this version).
@kibertoad:
Thank you. It's great idea. I think, I add titles for mutagens in the post-compo version.
@Vladp995:
I think, it will be better, if powerful negative mutagens will be appear, when world population will large enough.
@zzorn:
I thought about visualisation with changes colors, but I couldn't get nice view. In future, I think, I'll make something like that.
@90sml:
I hope, from this CGA palette your eyes doesn't burn anymore :)
@Switchbreak:
Yes, It's winnable. But about in you case, was a bug. I'll try to fix it.
@bytegrove:
I'm so sorry, invisible red dots is the result of bugs. Sometimes, when you use teleport or bomb, they are appear. It will be fixed soon.
@CappaGames:
Thank you, I'll try it.
1) Legend will be on a same page;
2) Positive and negative items will have different colors.
