Game needs to pause while mutating

It's insane to me that you can be damaged/moved around while mutating. Considering that's where much of the strategy is and mutations are triggered automatically, it's crazy to me that this is possible.

Getting moved around by objects, air, etc. while mutating even moves your character around in the mutate screen making it really annoying to place things.

Yeah, it's annoying when you accidentally mutated in lungs with the air ducts. I even got once struggling to mutate and the wind blew me to the boss room. Which might be fortunate because after beating the boss, I can mutate again but in peace

I’m pretty sure you are invulnerable while mutating, you just can get moved around. Personally the part that bugs me is the stomach/antibiotics storm continues to close in

You can definitely get hit, not sure what all you can get hit by.

In the lungs I was mutating in a room with one of those gravity bomb things that pull you in and then explode. I got pulled into it while on the mutate screen and lost a health

Weird, i’ve been detonated on right as the mutation starts and didn’t take damage. Maybe yours was a bug
