ph@bach ~/Desktop/LD31 - Screen Bacteria $ python Intro.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Intro.py", line 66, in <module>

pygame.error: Unsupported image format
Ah thanks, bug fixed.
Actually I had left the .psd Photoshop files in the folder, rather than the .png and therefore the program couldn't read the images... :p

At first I thought this was really hard, then I got the hang of neutralizing the enemies and it got kinda easy. Interesting story, though.
I managed to reach around 60%. I wanted to see the ending but it seems that it would take a long time to reach it and I wonder if there is one.
Fun to play. Congratulations

Really good game. Except that the sounds are too loud. I did not quit before I won :) These bacteria are discusting, I don't even wanna know what are these things we throw at each other :) Good point of view about the theme too.

I will be honest, I was too lazy to install Pygame to play, sorry.
This was an interesting, concept, im not sasd that i didnt think of it though :), but the game play would of been better if the movement was in 2d, not just 1d, the game was 2 easy, and i played through it entirely with out every knowing what the energy bar was used for. other than those minor complaints its a good game :)

Very fun !
Very simple, but I really liked it. I'd love to know how you got that noise background to scroll like you did, I'm trying to generate nebulae on another project. I like the look and scattering effect of the anti-bodies.

I got to around 75% before I got greedy and died. I really like the antibodies. Not sure what the energy was for but overall this was fun. :)

Neat game and cute take on the theme, good job!
Watching the timelapse of you making the game was even more fun than playing, really like the constant tweaking and you got it to a good place! :thumbsupdude:

Very original use of the theme.

First things first: I _hate_ installers for LD games.
The fact that you included an executable zip, is just amazing. Thank you for that consideration.
Game crashed on close though.
Anyway, the game itself is cute and clever. Very difficult, but a good job none the less.
Thank you for all your effort :D
Funny use of the theme. Very simple, but some neat ideas. The "blast a bunch of stuff" attack was fun and certainly not something I'd seen in other games, so good work there. A few bugs (at least I think they're bugs) make it difficult to play: all revolving around previously neutralized enemies becoming suddenly un-neutralized. This especially happened when two enemies spawn fairly close. Fighting the second one and having to back up often meant I would run into the first one which was somehow active again.
Really fun game - I enjoyed playing it a lot! All I ask is it to be a bit shorter, and have less redundant gameplay. Other than that, it's awesome!
