Waaa such creative idea! 

I had fun moving around the bloodstream, I kinda got scared when a virus hit me, but then I got used to it.

Also, the artwork is simple and cute! ^^

cute art and concept!  i'm a sucker for biology themed games.  pretty good readability as well, which is impressive since the screen is almost entirely red.  it felt a little difficult to navigate, and I would've benefitted a lot from having a minimap or even arrows pointing at where certain organs were.  nice work!

This is a really neat game. And a good take on the theme. Your art is very good and you somehow made all those different reds work together quite well. The gameplay is satisfying and feels good. Nice work!

Also I'd appreciate feedback on my submission if you get a chance!

Submitted

an interesting idea for sure, I love that the player moves in little dashes instead of boring linear movement. great job!

If you don't mind, please consider rating my game as well :)

Really cool concept. Nice music too. but sound effect when getting hit by the viruses hurts me ears but thats just me nitpicking. overall solid game! 

Submitted

man what a cool concept! I remember starting to work on a vaguely related idea back in the day, but you were actually the virus so I feel like I've met the other end of the stick haha

If I had to give some constructive feedback, I think I would first start by maybe considering more "docking" stations along the path, so you can tactically decide where to stop that's not a single spot (like "oxygen terminals" if you will). Then maybe it could be interesting to see the viruses pop out of walls, chase you for a bit and then fade out, adding some tension every now and then, but that may require a different control mechanism or a slower, more methodical pace in general. Something to explore!

good job on making a game! I hope you get to explore the idea a bit more :)

This was so incredibly stressful omg! Really tun though!!

Submitted

very nice and original game!

Very nice work aligning your game to the theme.  It's subtle, but very cool!

Submitted

yo the music is soo good puts you in a vibe great choice and soo much work with all the sprties good job!
also i love the concept like blood loops around your organs thats a very cool idea

Submitted

Super fun idea. The idea of blood vessels being a loop is a really cool interpretation of the theme!
