greetings, fellow pygame coder!
Hi, sorry but I can't run this even though I have python installed, I think because it requires pygame. Is there any way you could have included it in the download?
couldn't play it, game crashed!
Game crashed :(
It looked cute.
Game looks nice, but you're going to have a hard time getting people to play it when it requires that they have Python AND Pygame installed.
@markengley, Feysoura & Cthulhu, sorry it did not run. It does use PyGame, I included helpful steps on this above, I will update to include direct links to the installers if this helps.
wow, written in Python? that's neat :)
very cool game overall :D

Hi folks. I have tried to create a windows executable but it fails to run. Running via source is still the way to go. Thank you for you time :)
Fortunately had everything to play this game. Good job! Yet I think Windows executable would give you more ratings. Anyways good luck!
I have tried using py2exe on a work pc, however the result did not run.
Tonight I found the pyg project which lets one distribute pygames as one bundle with an exe, however I cannot test this. If anyone can give feedback I would appreciate it!
The link is: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18686471/microbes/microbes-LD27-submission.zip - run the included "run.bat" file *fingers crossed*
Loving the XM music! I didn't get all the requirements working yet to run the game, but will try to figure it out.
As a micro biologist I must say I don't fully recognize the microbes, but it's hard not to like the combination of python and microbiology. (I was first pressing WASD, which made the game crash, so you might want to look into that.)
Very nice game. Loved the graphics. But next time please show the time on the screen and not in the shell. The game was way to fast-paced to look both at the game and the shell.
berkano, which OS are you running? I tried include thorough steps up above, if those did not work I'd like to find out why and update my steps.
local minimum, they are mostly imaginary designs ;)
Dissing, the time is actually displayed as a bar underneath your character, but you are right to suggest a numeric display too.
Thank you all for the feedback! Appreciated.
Nice work for half a day!
Good game!
Good gamplay, 90 here :) Also, make exe!
Hello all, I have made a 32-bit exe for you Windows folk :D
Have fun!
@local minimum, thanks for pointing out that crash bug. I have fixed that - luckily the rules say crash fixes are ok. No new content added.
Was very laggy, even though my hardware was updated recently..
The game mechanic is well known. The audio is ok.
I like the colors used, but not the sprites itself.
Cool. The gameplay is pretty familiar and there's not a lot of variety, but the challenge level and pacing are spot on, so I wanted to replay it a few times. My best score is 133. I thought the music and graphics set a nice creepy mood, and I thought the names that pop up when you press Tab are pretty funny. My main suggestion would be to make it clearer whether I actually eat another microbe.
Not bad for 12 hours! Simple concept, but well implemented and with really cool graphics!
Couldn't play it, The traceback is pasted below, it can't find an ubuntu related font. I think you should add fallback to use another font. I hope this is useful to you.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "microbes.py", line 286, in <module>
score_card_image = draw_score_card(score_card)
File "microbes.py", line 259, in draw_score_card
font = pygame.font.Font('UbuntuMono-B.ttf', 16)
IOError: unable to read font filename
manuq, I apologize for that! Added the missing font in the repo, thanks for the feedback!
