At first I didn't know what to do so I started attacking the white blood cells, but then I realized I was an idiot and a virus so I started infecting crap. Fun game, I will try again to beat it when I have some free time.

Pretty good game, I really like the visual style :D
Seems pretty hard to escape the white blood cells though, and it going back to the first level on death kinda sucked :(
Neat! Very tense game. Took a death to understand the mechanics, but from there it was straight to the brain! Solid controls, fluid graphics, and great sound. Maybe it could be made clear how many viruses are in the blood cells, but other than that the game was clear and fun.
Liked it. Very cool. Pretty hard when starting out.
I like the sensation of being bad by infecting cells. I like graphics too (beautiful paintings) ^^
Great game! The art is just fantastic. I especially like the backgrounds. Gameplay and sound are nice too. It runs a little slow on my computer (~10 fps), but that's probably due to my outdated hardware.
I haven't been able to kill the patient yet...
It's a little hard to understand how it works, but that's a great game. Congratulations! :)
The first playthrough I died 1 second after loading. Then I lost inside the brain.
Interesting game idea, great setting and graphics.
The only thing I didn't like is when an infected red cell pops under a white one, actually wiping all the viruses.
Great work! It took my a while to realize how to play. Great music and art. It's quite relaxing :)
Very nicely done. It did confuse me the first couple of attempts, though, because I didn't realise you needed several viruses in each cell - I kept trying to only use one, to be less wasteful. Whoops!
Otherwise, really nice graphics and atmosphere.
Veeery slow paced. Gameplay was repetitive, but wonderful sounds and art.
This is a really awesome take on the theme. The mood and atmosphere created by the slow pace and the music puts you in a trance. This was a very refreshing experience. Thanks for suggesting it in the chat! The virus sometimes doesn't act as a full group, and a large chunk becomes unresponsive to the mouse until after a bunch of them get wiped out. My suggestions: Fix that and make the first few waves go by a bit faster (less cells, maybe) to get the player into a decent pace.
SonnyBone - I completely agree with the suggestions, those things were immediately obvious once I saw other people playing our game in person. If we update it we'll definitely address those.
Love the mood; very good at creating a relaxing trance.
Wow, very mordid game. It's pretty hard. I got to the heart and lost, wish it let you continue where you left off. Very stressful and aggravating to play, but still a really well executed concept.
This game is awesome. The music and the art are fantastic! Great concept.
Music gave it an awesome feel!
Really like the visuals and sound, and the game isn't as straight forward as it appears since the cells only follow properly when the cursor is near, though that could've been advertised better. The lack of a proper ending and the camera twitching was a bit sad though.
Camera only twitches if you go outside the play area. The mouse movement does need work though.
I like the concept of the game very much. Very cool to play a virus spreading in a body! Visually it was very good and the music was great! It is though lacking a bit in content, progression and challenge.
This was really cool!... Restarting at each level would be nice. Great graphics, mood, concept and game mechanics. It felt very tranquil, even though I was a nasty virus.
