Spore first module, you get a like just from adapting this idea. I'm felling old man...

We had a similar idea but we decided to proceed with something else. I'm glad someone took it and turned into something nice.

I appreciate more "scientific" approach to design instead of doing simply "bigger eat smaller" kind of thing. Visuals and music are comfy and fit into the game.

BUT I don't really wholly get the game, a lot of elements is confusing for me even after reading the picture tutorial. What I tried was to approach Docile Bacteria by touching their blue receptors with my blue dots, trying to avoid their red receptors because my blue dots die upon contact (not sure). It goes well for some time, but then my blue dots start to spread, not keeping around Bacteria core and I keep losing them quite fast because they keep touching something outside my camera view. I don't know how should I handle this, if this is intended or a bug.

But for those couple minutes before this happens, it plays well.

Hi! It’s a great game! Nice visuals, beautiful level and game design, interesting theme, yes, making a good game during 72 hours is not easy:), but the work you’ve done is fine. Good luck in next events!

Not sure why the blue dots keep spreading out, which makes it hard to keep them safe. However I believe it is acceptable and the idea of the game is super fun!

I found it a little hard to get started, even with the introduction. I had a lot of fun, but I was never able to kill a blue cell lol

Looking forward to future jams!
