A bit too complicated to my taste, I couldn't really follow all the instructions.

I had no idea what I was doing lol but it was fun to mess around, the buttons feel very satisfying to press.

I liked this a lot. However, even after getting the hang of it, it takes a lot of effort to try new things. Would like to see it slightly streamlined.

Clicked around a lot. A bit hard to understand what to do, but the graphics and overall feel of the game is great!

Sweet! My type of game! trying to figure out how to use the game is part of the game, well played, i got 80% match!

I tried to figure out how to play the most I could not. I loved the graphics and the music!

alphazeba 2019-04-30 05:15

Got to about 80% and then couldn't seem to get any higher. The controls were a little finnicky but overall I thought it was fun. Good job!

Very interesting concept! While I was a little unsure of how or why things were combining the way they did I still have fun just mixing and matching randomly. I got up to 94% but I'm not sure how I got there! Anyway the style pf the graphics was great and the music was nice to listen to. Great job!

woah that was a really elaborated game.

Excellent mood! Had problems figuring out how to do stuff, though. Got annoyed at being zoomed back out whenever I clicked on something uncklickable. Made it harder to figure things out.

Took me two times to understand how to use it but after this I think it's a brilliant original concept. Would have loved a bit more context and explanations but I understand that the time was short. Very well crafted graphics and environment!

A really unique idea, I would love to see it in a more polished form! Not a huge fan of the controls, it might be better if right click or something else was used to move the camera. It's a bit frustrating when the camera zooms out just because you misclicked a button. Also (at least in the web version) the coins falling caused HUGE lag, like pausing for over 30 seconds. It might be a good idea to just lerp the coin transforms instead of using physics, because lots of small objects can be a problem. It's a great concept though, and it's nicely challenging. Well done!

@polyhatsteve Thank you for your feedback! Yeah, we hacked together a camera/navigation system at the very last minute, that's one of our biggest regrets. As for the coin lag, I would definitely recommend using the Windows/macOS binary - WebGL does not seem to perform very well.

dxk2294 2019-05-03 03:05

Thank you for your feedback, everyone! We all read it and greatly appreciate it. :smile:

This game is really cool! And very new. I love the mood most of all with the red wallppaper and the classical music in the background!

scott-redrup 2019-05-04 08:33

Woah can't be able you managed to make so much in such a short amount of time! It's incredibly atmospheric and I love clicking around just trying to see what stuff does. I eventually figured it out. Really neat game!

It took me a while to figure out how to buy the reagents (even though i read your instruction). After that the game was really fun to play and mess around with. Love the concept and the overall mood as well as the models. Really well done!

It's quite a complex game that I only fully understood by my third run, but congrats on the level of complexity in such little time!

dimesto52 2019-05-04 11:59

I have a lot of trouble understanding

bustosman 2019-05-11 10:48

I'd say you're game definitely fits the theme very well. However, I found it difficult over time when trying to get a closer match of the enemy bacteria.
