I really like the idea, but I'm stuck on the second email, "Please place your organism in both warm and cold environments". How do I change the environment temperature?

@ratking119 heyo, i'm glad you like the idea!

Thanks for letting us know about your confusion. I've updated the description if others gets confused.

Thanks for trying it out!

really fun game

The game is pretty simple until you got new body parts, but it's quite repetitive. But it's actually quite good. The physics of the long body is fun and i would like to play more with it along the game. Good game !

I played it all the way through and I really liked the concept with the lab environment where I am actually sitting in front of the workstation and my browser is the OS, very neat! Except for the spam, which I had to read, because it was fun :grin:

The one thing I could not figure out is what working on my DNA actually does except for visual changes, but I think this is probably due to jam time constraints?

Is like slither.io yeah?

I like customizing the creature once I figured it out, but it is a little difficult to do. Changing the color and attributes is very tedious. Once I selected fins, on one segment, couldn't remove them.

It was a lot of fun!!

Cute game and strong entry! I like the immersion with this fake interface!

Liked the design of the whole thing. Would probably need to add more labeling and keyboard shortcuts to compete with gmail.

There is something quite simple and disturbing about that smiley face. I love the uncanny feeling it is emanating.

Controls feel weirdly rigid in turning, as I was expecting angular interpolated turns, adding more to the uncanniness.

Are we watching the creator trough the microscope? Or are we in fact the ones being watched?

Great job!

I really like the fake dashboard idea! I would have like more mechanics or assignements related to the evolution, but it was cool to play!

Such a fun little game! Really enjoyed my time with it, the mail feature is awesome and the "you ve got- mail!" is such a silly audio, i cant-

Really liked this one, solid entry!

You did a great job making the game feel like a dashboard and integrating the gameplay in a way that made sense! I would have liked to see a more robust customization with some different organism types other than snake but that's just me! Great work!

i love the missions as research emails idea

volkolak 2024-10-20 12:30

It's a great idea to design the game as a scientist's workplace! Cool toy.

My one request is that the "Go back" button in the email interface goes back into the same tab that you were in, so if you were reading a Social email, you go back to the Social tab so you can read the next Social email.

Okay I lied I have another request which is that when the viruses arrived, it took me a long time to realize I should be right-clicking with them instead of trying to win a headbutt war.

You've got mail!

Really cool! Felt like I was in my daily job haha with this interface, emails and everything. The microscope is really neat with little details that make it feel like a real microscope. Really slick!
