A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

The only difference between version 1.0 and 1.1 is that I fixed a UI scaling bug, which was permitted by the jam hosts.

This skill-based top down shooter was created in one week for the CCC Game Jam. The theme for the game jam was playing both sides. (Also, this game is NOT about COVID, so please don't make comments related to COVID)

What makes it different from most other top down shooters is the objective. Instead of trying to eliminate all enemies, you must keep both sides in balance,  if that means shooting at enemies or even tactifully eliminating your own ally bacteria. Also, bacteria can mutate over time, so bacteria in the game will randomly mutate, including yourself!

I highly recommend playing the tutorial as I go more in depth there, but I will give you a basic rundown below.

There are two abilities to be used:

E: This ability is an area of effect ability, which freezes and poisons ally bacteria, by creating a habitat where they cannot live.

F: This ability is a health pack which is randomly placed somewhere on the map, and you must go find it by following the cursor to recharge your health. Note: You cannot put down more than one health pack at a time.

I hope you enjoy playing the game, and thanks to all the content creators for hosting this jam!

Hi, thanks for leaving a comment. Your feedback is highly valued. About the weird sizing of the text: It is definitely an issue with the resolution and scaling. I only built the game for 1920x1080, and did not account for other resolutions, but I will work on that tomorrow. Also, about making a Portugese version: I'm sorry but I don't think it woud make sense for me personally to spend my time working on translations for the game. I made it in 6 days, and I will probably not be maintaining it in the future. Once again, I apologize for your inconveniences.

TLDR: I wil soon work on the issues with the text and UI scaling. Unfortunatey, I do not think I will work on translations for the game, given the scope of the project. Thank you for checking it out though.
