[LD41] Antibody by Horow
Antibody is a game which combine management game and top view shooter.
A tutorial is available at the launch of the game.
You have access to 2 views, one where you need to kill enemies in a shooter gameplay and the other, when you press TAB where you can buy and spread units (seen as "antibody") into 4 part of your body, each one with its own bonus.
Put everything in our arms and you will fire a lot faster ; in your legs you will run fast, etc.
Sorry for the big part of the game's text not in english, hope it will be understable even like that !
PS : Images availables on the link related to itch.io, it didn't show up here.

The game overall is fun. I love the idea of micromanaging for the current situation. The music really fits.
However, the keys W and S didn't work for me. I used arrow keys instead, but that made it quite unconfortable to press space or tab.
The game not being in English isn't a big deal, but i think you should explain the different colours of antibodies in the description. I still have no idea what each of them do.
Some balancing and respawning of enemies and guns wouldn't hurt, either.
Anyway, it's still fun and challenging. Maybe i'll borrow the micromanaging mechanic into a later project of mine.
It seems there may be an interesting idea behind this, unfortunately I was unable to really understand it. The enemies would all group together, and it seemed that my shots against them weren't doing anything.
I pressed tab to go the upgrade screen, but I didn't understand how it works.
I'm really glad you enjoyed it !
