Solid platformer. Not too long but has a unique blend of spooky and cute atmosphere combined. I do wish the music were upbeat in more areas because at one point it turns into a rockin' synth jam but not for very long.

Genopanic is fun, but towards the end I found it becoming stale and more of a hassle towards the end. First, the positives:
The movement is slick and just feels good. There are some good physics interactions with your gadgets. For example, the flamethrower fire visually off of walls and follows their curve. The art style, animations, and sound design are all fantastic, its a gorgeous game!

Now for the downsides that lead to me not recommending:
This game is incredibly linear, there is zero reason to do anything other than follow arrows that litter the map or listen to your virtual companion guy's instructions. Because of that, ways back are sometimes closed off and if you saw something and meant to come back later, oh well. I accidentally fell into a new area without picking up a GMO and there was no way for me to go back and get it due to this. I just had to get the worse ending, and I don't feel like playing through the game again. It is so linear, that there are no alternate ways to go and essentially no secrets, other than a piece of lore behind a wall that is marked as open-able. There is a fun gimmick of "hidden" passageways that the game uses to get around a broken elevator or laser, but they are the only way to progress and are usually marked in some way.

There are also a lot of one-shots. Your character has no way to heal other than saves and gets no upgrades other than new equipment or the staple abilities, dash and double jump. This means enemies will either do a third of your health every hit or just kill you in one. This is softened by a lot of save points, and I mean a lot, sometimes multiple in one room. Because of this, in any longer platforming section you basically have one health. In this last area it's incredibly frustrating.

The combat is also very basic. The weapons you get are diverse enough to be fun to swap between, but that's all the upsides. The enemies and bosses are a joke, I beat the final boss in one go, only taking one hit of damage at the start before learning its singular attack.
