They say that big things come in small packages. A single red blood cell only carries micrograms of oxygen, but they provide the basis for all human life. Help 'Red' deliver oxygen to cells and take away CO2 to deliver back to the lungs, while dodging or taking care of deadly viruses and bacteria. With your help, Red can keep the body healthy and strong.

Enjoyed playing this game, great job!

nice little game you guys made, i like the innovation of coming up with this game idea and how you took the time to implement a random mode. I think the gameplay could use some more work, rooms feel a bit short and some enemies are way too brutal for my sleep deprived self to beet lol, but I had fun experimenting with upgrades and strategies, all in all it's a decent game

NICE BLOOD. my friend looked just like that guy. My favorite mode; "classico" style.

Nice one! I like the idea of having a roguelike type of game where you don't necessarily have to kill all the enemies. Dash and attack effects/sounds are pretty satisfying. I would say though that it would be cool if you were rewarded in some ways for killing the enemies - maybe better upgrades or a chance to recover health or something.

Interesting concept and take on the theme. The last level of Classic was pretty hard! Good variety in enemies.

This was a super fun game, I really enjoyed playing it. It did feel a little awkward at first that all the controls were on the keyboard except for attacking being a mouse click, but really engaging gameplay loop you've got going on here.

Fun little Rogue-like game, with an interesting take on the theme! It was a little bit confusing on the second level, the little guys that looked like where we should be delivering to but actually ended up taking like 70% of my health, but everything was really well-implemented, and the concept is great!

Nice interpretation of the concept! I would have liked to have a keyboard bind for the attack but otherwise the gameplay was solid, I'm not sure why I got sucked to the cells sometimes but in general I enjoyed it!

I thought it said Hobgoblin, and I was like, wait a minute that's a virus. Then realized it said Hemoglobin lol

Really great game! One of the games I actually wanna keep playing (especially because of random mode). Loved the music and the change it brought with the bossfight. Perfect difficulty for me!

Loved it, the music and art was great for this game.
Nice take on the theme.
Was a lot of fun to play.
I think adding hit indication would have been a good addition, but great well scoped game other than the minor nit.
Great work!

Nice game! Loved the music and the upgrades. Also the ability to play in browser.

Interesting game. The upgrades are a good feature, adds to replayability. Decent graphics and sound, great gameplay. Well done!

Fun! I liked the upgrades and the challenge. The animations were surprisingly detailed on several assets, such as Red's attack and the virus. Pretty hard with no healing! I tried random and classic.
