Good job getting your submission in on time! I like the concept of managing an army in a petri dish, and the visual of them churning out shots in different groups was awesome. I struggled with managing the different groups quickly and maybe a number selection would help, or more space to maneuver in.

Really enjoyed the combination of RTS and bullet hell. It is pretty challenging to get started, but once I understood how it worked, it was very enjoyable.

i got performance issues on firefox/windows when more entities show up on the screen. Nice concept of merging bullet hell with a strategy game.

Took some time to figure out how to multiselect and shoot but once I did it got really fun! Next will try to keep the king alive... ![462407984_1310524240104972_6586193265991108000_n.png](///raw/486/z/6813b.png)

Great job with the game! The controls were tight and responsive and I had a lot of fun after I figured out multiselection.

Nice game! The strategy seems to be to use the king to kill a black virus to make space for your critters

It seems like the best method to win is pile up a bunch of either green and blues and move them as a single horde.

This was pretty fun!

It took me a bit to figure out exactly what was going on, but once I did it was enjoyable.

I do think it would have been good to have some sound, even just something very simple, but I realize it can be hard to do that well within the time limit.

The game becomes fun and addictive when you realize how to select multiple units at once
