A great creepy ambiance, it felt kind of like a scene from an Alfred Hitchcock movie. Bravo!

Holy crap! That ending track errire as hell! Nice job! The art is out of this world
Awesome art.
sweet, the mood is amazing. reminds me of spore and osmos mechanically. ending is pretty sweet and tense too! well done!
Nice and creepy. Cool stuff.
Art and sound create a really unique experience. Neat concept. Executed well!
Great idea - graphics are amazing, all executed well.
Wonderfully eerie atmosphere and superb graphics. Excellent job.
Really cool art and ambient sounds/music! I wish the "battles" went faster, and perhaps as a function of the difference between your and their nuclei.
Love the mood and the graphics, it's a really pretty game. Though it's hard to understand my objective.
Awesome work on the art, and great concept :D !
Looks and sounds great. But doesn't feel particularly interesting because it seems pretty inevitable that you'll eat everything with or without too much thinking.
Did you know there's already a game called Interloper? It featured in the previous IGF awards.
If the ending was just the title... Yeah there's really not much to do/not do.
It's really gorgeous :)
@Tuism yeah I actually found out sometime after publishing that there was already a game called Interloper, I was surprised I hadn't heard of it.
I agree that the game ends up being pretty straightforward and doesn't put up much of a challenge. Farhan, our programmer did an awesome job though considering how late we came up with the mechanics for the gameplay. He probably only had 30 something hours (including sleep) to implement pretty much the whole thing. So while it's not the most dynamic thing ever, we're still really proud of the work that went into it.

Man, this is beautiful and really well thought out. A brilliant short-form gaming experience.
Very much like agar.io. Nice visuals and quite fun.
Absolutely gorgeous! Loved the gameplay and late title screen, very good call :)
Beautiful, but very short. Art is great and music is quite moody. Great job guys!
Good idea, and good execution too. Felt like you could win "by chance" quite easily by simply being in the right place at the right time, but it was a cool vibe, watching other cells fight and stealing from them :) Happened to me too, so I guess what goes around comes around!
Very cool look and sounds! Would have liked there to be more to, maybe some stages of progression?
Fantastic art.
It looks like your dropbox account is not working right now. :s
This looks really intriguing but none of the links are working for me :/ (dropbox returns error 500)
The artwork in this game is absolutely phenomenal! You've captured a fantastic eerie atmosphere here! Love it!
The art was really pretty and the background audio set the mood very well. The gameplay was fun but a little easy.
Btw this game struck me as being a more graphically advanced agar.io, if you haven't played it you should check it out it's pretty fun.
Great entry though, I enjoyed it :)
I liked it, nice full experience game. I lost at beggining but then I became the full bacteria monster.
Nice work!
Reminiscent of Osmos which for me is a good thing! The border graphics are brilliant make you feel like you are inside someones body plus the music is like a heart beat. Nice atmosphere. When I became the leader and the title appeared I thought ahh thats the intro! Would love to see more.
Beautiful and intriguing game. Gameplay is simple and a lot of mechanics can be developed around it. As someone already said looks like the intro of a bigger game. May be a little of challenge could have be added ("bad" micro-organisms?).
Anyway, great entry.
Oh, btw, first I tried to download the desktop version for OS/X but it doesn't work once uncompressed, so I played the web version.
Links to the game works and its very impressive :D
You nailed the art aesthetic of microscopic organisms and I felt the sound design and visual effects were very suitable. There is something ominous in a single cell growing larger and larger by engulfing smaller ones, nice ending too.
I had some ideas to do a game set in microscopic world before the Ludum Dare but did something more standard. You managed to produce the kind of thing I'd have liked to do myself :)
Stunning game! While it's on a slow side, I really enjoyed it - it's absolutely beautiful.
Great art. Seems like we had kinda similar ideas.
Neat game, love the graphics! I included it in part 21 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/sSjPmVXpfX4
