The music is great! It really fits the game.
It's pretty smoothly coded overall, but you do seem to move kind of slowly. Since the viruses are also really small, that means that getting the last ones are kind of annoying.
(Of course, I'm also an idiot. For a while I thought I needed to eat as many viruses as possible, so I was letting them kill the blood cells... because that made more of them! I should have actually read your instructions. :|)
One thing I found t be of particular interest was the way very little of the feedback (virus count) was given through HUD, using mysical cues instead. Made it seem a bit of a shame to have that one boost bar. I'd suggest that for post compo (if you do that) make the boost be shown by something different (shade your cell or something?)
That's the only interesting feedback I can give. I think the graphics could maybe stand to be a bit bigger, and maybe make the music accelerate from the current point when virus levels are critical rather than restart at a faster speed (dunno how hard that would be).
That's the bad bit. The rest is good!
Thanks you guys. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the great feedback!

Nice game. It got a bit easier after i realized that the boost also increased the turning speed. I liked the increase in difficulty.
Well done.

Very nice :D I like the graphics and music!
Pretty neat. The graphics were really interesting and detailed, and I liked the way the little viruses stalked the red blood cells but ran away from the white one. Pretty cool!
I like the concept. The player turns a little slow. Well done overall.

Hehe indeed we had the same idea for the title (:
Nice simple game.
In a game design standpoint I understand why you've choosen such control (we have rotation speed has to be considered when we want to reach some area) but I find them quite frustrating and hard to use.
But like the idea.
Thanks for the feedback everyone ^^

I was confused about the objective of the game, but the concept is somewhat interesting and it seems well-coded.
I like it! It's a kind of PacMan with Resident Evil movement LOL ..

Nice game, good music. You move infuriatingly slowly though.
