Can't run on Windows 7:
"There should be 'LDWinBuild_Data'
folder next to the executable"

Mission failed (phew)
Why do the seconds left count up? :P
Interesting game though, good job.

The overall experience was a bit confusing. :P I can see you've had a good idea behind the concept, but I guess you didn't have enough time to create it properly.
I wasn't sure when I was able to attack and when not, etc. Maybe you should try adding something more clear to indicate that?
I liked the music track though. :) It fitted the mood nicely.

@Baburo
Yeah, if I had a little bit more time I'd put together some sort of tutorial or what-not. Also i think it bugs every once in a while, when you try to attack the leukocytes.
@Zelosfan
I'll check it out after work, thanks for the comment ;)

Not bad, I like the idea, but the game freezes a little bit

I like the idea but the game phase laked of clarity, i didn't know when i was supposed to move or not. Interesting idea aniway good job.

Mute the music? No way - nice track! I was getting crashes during the game play though (Mac/Chrome).

The game seems a bit rough and unpolished, some aspects of the HUD were confusing and the gameplay felt choppy. However, I really enjoyed the mechanics and setting (evolving biology is always cool).

plancien 2013-08-26 09:53

Game lacks polish, which is sad because the concept is attractive, and made me frustrated not to be able to play it properly.
Make a version 2.0 after ludum dare end, it will be a nice game.

Good idea but I think full mouse control may be better.
I'd like to see the virus evolve (bigger size, change color) when level up.

It's hard to get into game.

Interesting concept

The web player doesn't work on linux, please release a linux binary!

samueldivinium 2013-08-28 07:38

It should be fastened up and should be fully mouse driven. Aside from that it's a nice game and an interesting concept :)

kragnir 2013-08-29 04:36

Like the idea but there seems to be a lot of issues. Sometimes you can attack during the opponents turns, sometimes they can attack during your turn, sometimes you can attack more than 3 times, sometimes they can move during your turn. Sometimes you can't attack an enemy, sometimes the health bar floats away from enemies.

The premise is nice and cool, but controlling the game is quite hard and annoying. Also graphics could use a little bit more touch.

supermaximo93 2013-08-31 14:13

Interesting idea. I liked how the turn structure was "do as much as you can in 10 seconds". Although the attacking felt inconsistent, and when I died I wasn't quite sure why or how it happened.

ossi 2013-09-10 05:28

Neat concept. I liked the grid based system and the upgrades for your virus. I could see where you were going with the art style and the music, so I wouldn't say it's that bad. Would have been nice if some of the UI elements were bigger and more clear to read against the background. Good job!
