87.230s :)

matthias_zarzecki 2014-04-28 02:05

Love the atmosphere! The pulsing blood-particles and the beating track really make this :)

hexagore 2014-04-28 02:19

@IanMacLarty haha not bad! I think the green bacteria come along too frequently. Makes it far too easy ;)

@matthias thanks! :) didn't seem like a chip tune sort of game really!

ianmaclarty 2014-04-28 03:09

I really like the way gathering more "markers" causes the anti-bodies to become more alerted to your presence.

jorgemoag 2014-04-28 10:21

Wow! I love it!
the atmosphere, the graphics, the sounds, very nice!

mess110 2014-04-28 10:26

33s

amazing mood. didn't manage to catch the green things. what happens then?

hexagore 2014-04-28 10:35

When you catch the green bacteria things, any tags you have are passed onto them, which means the white blood cells will ignore you again... until you get another tag. :)

"Sorry, you're either on iOS or some antique browser. No 'In The Blood' for you!". As far as I know Chrome is not antique

It worked in firefox though

halbernacht 2014-04-28 11:00

The background is a bit disorienting at first, but once you get used to it the pulsing red blood cells really add some atmosphere to the game.

hexagore 2014-04-28 11:08

@martinjn oh dear. That error pops up if there's any problem creating a WebGL context which can sometimes happen even with decent browsers. Glad Firefox was okay for you!

hexagore 2014-04-28 11:09

@Halbernacht Yes, I've made myself a bit dizzy playing this. Might have gone a *bit* too far...

crabman 2014-04-28 12:03

Nice, love it!

cptalbertwesker 2014-04-28 12:29

Love the audio, very atmospheric, and extremely addictive!

karaajayde 2014-04-28 12:29

Very cool, loved the avoidance style endless runner. Should consider a mobile port down the line ^^ I think it needed a heavy dub beat in the background ;)

ccglp 2014-04-28 12:29

Amazing concept, so nice :)

mat4dor 2014-04-28 12:30

Really great. Loved it.

yuyu3 2014-04-28 12:31

Not bad!, a bit simple, however that is how actually the inmune system works! the thing about tagging viruses. Nice graphics! and innovation!

maxhaesslein 2014-04-28 12:31

I really love the athmosphere and the sound!!

hexagore 2014-04-28 12:36

@Kara Everything sounds better with a bit of wub :)

hexagore 2014-04-28 12:38

@Emmanuel it would have been nice to have more time to really tune the gameplay for sure, difficulty progression etc, more entity types. Oh well!

franklins-ghost 2014-04-28 12:50

94.518s, like the graphics and title screen design.

hexagore 2014-04-28 12:56

94s is pretty good!

customphase 2014-04-28 13:05

Nice game, but the pulsation and alot of moving object gave me motion sickness. Soundtrack is really fitting.

marcus_siactro 2014-04-28 13:16

Great work! :)

elpaulo 2014-04-28 15:12

Very nice and oppression athmosphere !

madhoe 2014-04-28 15:24

Gahhh 50s only. I think the gray hazards should contrast more with the background.

hexagore 2014-04-28 15:28

50 seconds isn't bad. ;)

tannernetwork 2014-04-28 15:53

Wow, I really like it :)

cosinep 2014-04-28 18:33

Wow, I loved the feel of this game. It was a little difficult to fully grasp what all the items were, though.

flrn 2014-04-28 18:58

I really enjoyed the atmosphere with the sound, and the pulsing, omg, really cool.

vilya 2014-04-28 20:39

Very nice! Love the aesthetic & that dark brooding sound. It took me while to get my head around the fact that you're not supposed to collect any of those things. My best time so far was about 35 seconds by the way.

hexagore 2014-04-28 20:56

@vilya but they're just so collectible! Go on, collect them. What's the worst that can happen?

lizzip 2014-04-28 21:18

13s... One day I will be good at one of your games

terraco 2014-04-29 02:35

Can't tell if stuff is good or bad

designernap 2014-04-29 12:27

97.832!!! Got on a roll there! Fun game - could be very addictive

aaronjbaptiste 2014-04-29 12:43

A little confusing at first, but after reading your postmortem it makes more sense now! Great job on the visuals / mood.

robber 2014-04-29 12:48

solid game, superb sound

pht59x 2014-04-29 19:46

Very much a pro game !

greatbigjerk 2014-04-29 23:34

That background is awesome, but a little distracting

hexagore 2014-04-29 23:46

It's meant to be distracting. :)

nocturnal 2014-04-30 06:37

Love this game! It is awesome. Very relaxing sounds and movement. Good color palette. Beautiful!

nonentheless 2014-04-30 10:54

Would play longer but pulsating background is really hard on my eyes :)

xaychru04 2014-04-30 15:49

I really liked the mood of the game, my highscore is 47s! ^^

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-05-01 11:30

Catching that green thing is hard!! Nice work on the mood and the graphics!

Lucariatias 2014-05-01 20:06

Very dark, I like it. Quite an original mechanic, sound is good, graphics are impressive.
Could have done with some more depth, it does feel very repetitive, doing the same thing over and over.

jujule 2014-05-01 20:51

I like this kind of concept. It's instantly fun. And I think it perfectly mixed with your take on the theme. Great graphics too, somewhere inbetween photorealism and a abstract shooter.
Good entry, high grades from me.

hexagore 2014-05-02 00:25

:)

mintarcade 2014-05-05 08:06

Excellent graphics, idea is super nice - love it.

atomic_swerve 2014-05-06 01:33

Fun, but I didn't get any audio for some reason. I like the atmosphere of the pumping blood!

2014-05-06 08:33

This game is awesome, but just that little bit to hard for me, I can't get to the green bits, and when I do, they don't seem to take the tags, do you have to hit them right on or something, I was half on them, I would assume that would count, right? most similar games it does. Maybe if I could be bothered to actually focus on the game I could get a decent score, but hey. really great graphics BTW really great indeed.

gwenn 2014-05-07 00:46

Fun game with original ideas that renew the classic dodge game. The graphics looks great.

hexagore 2014-05-07 00:54

SlipperyPete ... It doesn't always take *all* your tags, depends how long you can stay in proximity. If you skim the outside it'll probably get a few, but not all! Also the collision detection is pure approximation based on distance squared, I just punched in numbers randomly until it seemed to be working okay. It could be a straight up bug though. Sorry about that!

csanyk 2014-05-10 03:08

Is 14 seconds a remotely good time? I think I suck, but maybe it's just supposed to be that hard. The heartbeat audio was pretty cool.
