This tardigrade is MICROSCOPIC! This tardigrade is RESILIENT! This tardigrade may be the TOUGHEST ANIMAL ON EARTH--and it was just fired out of a gun to test that theory.

Help this little guy make the best of a startling situation by outsmarting crows, negotiating with extraterrestrials, and dodging myriad obstacles in this cute bullet hell game. And remember: this is real science.

Cool game, didn't go very deep into it since I'm pretty bad at bullet hell's.

8/10

I loved the game, the story is pretty fun and I loved the art! I'm not pretty good at bullet hell games so I wasn't able to reach the end, but I really enjoyed the game

Really fun game. Not much else, it is very cool

I wish i didn't suck at bullet hell games cuz I want to keep jamming to this bgm..... 10/10 character design though. I'm a bit squeaked out by tardigrades ngl, but this guy is chill.

cool and fun, i love when theres a little guy. pretty challenging, with a good variety of enemies with interesting attack patterns. nice work!!

Fun, well put together game!  One critique would be sound effects in the opening cutscene sound a bit harsh.  Maybe try varying up the sound.  The projectiles and enemies are cute and interesting.  

Thank you for the feedback! We pushed a web-specific patch to hopefully make the opening cutscene sound a lot less grating in html. For the true tardisound experience we recommend downloading the executable version.
