The body is under attack!

Play as Bea Celle as she takes care of young antibodies or "antibabies" by bringing them back to an incubator to grow them to full antibodies in order to revitalize the health of the body

Use a left click to propel yourself around the screen, but also to fire pills in front of you by quickly moving the mouse around. Shoot to kill green germs and to pop antibaby plants out of the ground for you to collect.

By gettting close to an antibaby that has been popped out, you can pick it up to bring back to the incubator. By passing through the incubator while carrying antibabies, you will drop them off, and you'll score some points! Careful though, as picking  them up will make you heavier as well as harder to control. If you need to, you can drop an antibaby by pressing right click. You'll also drop antibodies when you get hit by or run into a germ.

Once you have collected all the antibabies in the randomized map you can move on to a new area by finding the green portal in one of the rooms. Also located throughout the map are upgrades for your health, fire speed, number of pills shot at once, and damage to enemies. These upgrades each cost a certain amount of points as denoted by the number above them

Finally, if you need to take a brake then you can pause the game with escape. Also, you can  enter fullscreen by pressing F4.

This was made by me, Dylan Turner (gameplay), and my little brother, Drew (art), for our first game jam. We both hope you enjoy and thank you for playing! :)

Pretty cool! The soundtrack is quite good, the layout supports the player and sprites look good. The controls are also good except the issue with the screen transitioning bits as others have mentioned. 

Great game for a first Jam! I'm guessing this isn't your first game though.

Definitely one of my favorites from this Jam.

I’ve actually just fixed the screen transitioning! I can’t update the download until the jam’s review ends on Friday

Quite cool for the first jam!

Controls are quite awkward with screen switching: mouse stays at the same play, but camera moves and so the shoot direction changes to the opposite. I believe such controls should be done for gamepad.

In the bottom room, after dropping antibaby it sometimes disappears. Is this intended?

Also, why not fullscreen by default?

I’m actually releasing an update after the rating period for the jam ends. It fixes the screen switching, makes fullscreen the default, fixes the antibaby physics more or less, and makes the overall difficulty increase slightly slower :)
