Genome Survivors

Awesome game!

Just a it sad you limited the Max HP to 1000.

In that regard, there is a bit of a Bug I believe:

If you use Stat increase to increase HP by Current HP, I would expect Max HP to go up by 20% of current HP. So, if I have 10 HP, then my max should go up by 2.

Instead, it goes up by 4, or 40%.

So, if you can arrange 3 Stat increases for max HP by current HP, you get a 120% increase, letting you scale HP infinitely. Which is how I reached the Cap.

On a side-note, once I reached the Cap and tried to get another increase for my Base HP,  I think the increase didn't actually work anymore.

You might also want to put at least SOME limiters in, just to prevent the game from freezing.

The way I managed that was with a combination of three effects:

1.  When enemy enters player area: damage self

2. No condition: Increase Player area by current HP

3. When enemy enters player area: heal self (ideally for more than the damage)

You can also replace the condition for 3 with "On taking damage". 

If the difference in Area size is big enough, the moment an enemy enters the area, it starts flickering, so long as the enemy stays within the "belt" of the area that is in between the maximum and minimum size.

At that point there was another issue, maybe because I hooked an EXP generator into the loop. But the game started to freeze a bit on level ups, and the "Continue" Button behaved weirdly, only registering my cursor when it was on the very left edge of the button.

relly liked the game, altho it does have stuff to improve

Fun little game, but struggles with the same issue that all "build your own skill" bullet heaven games does. Which is to say, you're just allowed to do things that aren't remotely balanced.

It's pretty easy to get 30k dps by the 5 minute mark, and the enemy balancing in the game is clearly not built with that in mind (or the UI, as the 1k variable overlaps the variable name).

The core issue is just that the permanent -0.2 to variables is way overpowered. Since flat -CD scales exponentially, and lets you scale your xp/damage exponentially by dividing another variable by that variable. Getting to 0.1 with 5 upgrades and no skill usage just breaks the game so fast. Then you just run 2x divide other variable by the 0.1 variable to hit the variable cap of 1k, then slot a xp/cd that gives you up to 1k XP ever 0.1s to spam level and get every single piece you need to hit 30k dps, when your enemies have like, idk 10 hp? It's hard to tell since they get completely obliterated.

well done game. love it.

basic but working and very nice game mechanics.

- i believe that sometimes a value doesnt get updated, after replacing it with a new value. i had put in a new cooldown of 0.5 but it didnt go yet. i think after replacing the damage value it also updated the cooldown value and all of a sudden it was faster, like it should have been. 

not sure how it went exactly. if i figure it out. i will edit.

-sometime replacing an effect will require to re insert some values as well. it will not work at all, until re inserting.

again not sure how it went exactly.

btw, how do we rate the game? i dont see anything for it.

Great fun, I think I managed to find an exploit though;

If you get two of the "Add value X to Value Y" abilities you can stack them with each other seemingly endlessly, by equipping and unequipping them.

IE. adding Alpha value to Beta, and then Adding Beta value to Alpha, It's a bit strange to explain but it did get me to like 50 of each before I stopped doing it.
