Fun to watch and play!

I remember playing similar game on linux, but you were starting with fully grown army.

Surprisingly engrossing, great job. I wish the color trails would fade slowly. I also found it really hard to win on the default settings since the AI has so much of an advantage.

It seems like this game had potential, but in its current state it is a bit dull. There's not really a ton of strategy here, you just eat white stuff until you're big, then you go off and kill the blue/red stuff.

I'm also not really a fan of being locked to only 4 directions... was there a reason for this design choice?

Overall it feels unfinished.. more stuff will make it better!

Fun game, but I couldn't win :( I loved watching the pixels swam!

Very absorbing and fun.

I can definitely see this developing into something even more interesting in the future, after the concept has spent just a little more time in the oven. You have a strong basis for expansion here with the control mechanism and the swarm behavior, I think the actual implementation just needs a little more refinement to really find the fun.

It was actually fun to play and quite challenging and I do not like these reds when they're eating me alive!! ;)

It's really a cool idea!
Good job!

This is really fun :) it reminds me of AI challange, where people had to program ant armies' logic and then to compete with each other with those armies.

Nice idea. Challenging game.
The trails were cool, but it would be better if they faded out after a while.

Like the concept, and the growth idea is neat. However, it felt really easy and the AI wasn't exactly challenging. With some more work this could be a lot of fun!

It's a well done game/simulation, a visual experience by itself. Good and fun concept!
