Double Helix by BroCade
Growing? Two button controls? Guess we will just have to do incorporate both themes into one game. Presenting Double Helix, a game about growing/replicating DNA using only two buttons. Can you successfully overcome all the DNA challenges or will you accidentally create a hideous freak of nature?
When chromosome nodes line up hit the appropriate symbol.
The whole game is played with only Z & X.
The latest webGL build is up, if you had issues running the game in the past they *should* be resolved, otherwise there are stand alone builds available to download.

I have 4 GB of RAM, by the way...
ps: I like the crt shader (mine is not as evolved)
I can tell you put in a lot of work, great job :)
I find it a little buggy or shaky from the 3rd level, but it's just great and fun to play! Visuals also excellent and nice sound.
tough but fun gameplay, with very nice audio.
overall, this is a really solid entry, I loved feeling a bit like a mad scientist creating horrible mutations haha, nice job!
Running full screen the graphics didn't line up making it really hard, and sometimes I got the missed effect directly after a hit for no apparent reason. Also it seems like a rhythm game but the music didn't seem to correspond with anything. Cool music though.
I would have also be better if it saved your progress. I kept accidentally restarting the first level.
Some levels also have the first way too soon, before you have a chance to judge the speed.
It seem like you are meant to hit x when the your orb (the one with an x on it) moves through another blue orb? And the same with y for the green orbs? Except, it seems like they rarely go right through each other - lots of them just float past without ever touching either orb, causing an unavoidable miss.
Other time the blue orb would pass through a green orb leaving me confused as to what to press. I never managed to succeed on the first level, though I did try them all anyway.
Overall, art and music are great. Shame I couldn't work out what to do!
I can only say that quite often I got false negatives because I was introducing the right sequence.
I've made a short let's play video if you want to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfEVSiI9fFk
A couple of things though. Starting back on the menu with the last level attempted selected, or having a restart button would be nice. Also, the "miss" screen seemed to appear even though I successfully got the nucleotide.
+ Great graphics and music giving a nice mood
+ Very cool concept and mechanics
Con:
- Sometimes it gets really hard with the random positioning, sometimes I also receive damage upon start, I guess there is a node right at the beginning
Obs:
o Got stuck in level 5
Awesome work!
Other than that, fantastic graphics and simple but effective gameplay. I really like the atmosphere with the music and setting.
Great stuff! :)
Made me imagine what would be if we had the whole four bases of DNA pairing! :P
