cool idea, but is the web version an older build? I can't see any purpose for erasing or jumping. I can't seem to play for more than 5 seconds or so. Maybe the grey blob shouldn't be able to cross lines, keeping it trapped for its own safety till you've dealt with the black blobs and can erase a gate to the next area?
great idea and game! as with many physics based games it can be quite frustrating (especially when you nick the side of a square and lose all your momentum to angular rotation) but very addictive. nicely polished controls. I got 165.4 by taking it slow and trying to keep the pole at a constant angle. The level gets quite hard there and you need a lot of height. Does the level ever end?
Great core mechanic! I've had a good position go horribly wrong many times just from losing the wrong planet. This would be amazing multiplayer (perhaps a little slower to allow my slow brain to figure out sneaky tactics).
I really do appreciate having many-button keyboards a whole lot more now
Very well done! Quite a fun game, good atmosphere with music and tutorial dialogue. You can get away with some rather questionable layouts since placement collision isn't checked for rotations, which imo improves the game.
I was disappointed when I finished it because I had to stop searching. Great game!!
It seems some cells have a 'growing' (more accurately 'moving'?) direction - horizontal or vertical. If you click in the same column as a cell, it toggles the direction it grows. Blank cells with at least two neighbours of the same colour grow automatically, but slower. Blank cells with two neighbours of each colour don't grow. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I agree, the percentage seems off. Maybe there are other factors?
Intuitive game. I'd make the time/health/left separate colours to the cells - at first I assumed there was a connection. The player's animation looks great but could use a few more frames.
An interesting and fun game. Great puzzle design!
Quite frustrating, but I had to finish it so there you go :)
I get it.. *mouse* trap. Cool game!
Excellent gameplay! I'd love to see some variations in the enemies, which require you to swap between desired breeding traits as the game progresses. At the moment it seems easy to max out fire rate and you're set.
Nicely balanced! It's much easier after finding down arrow is reverse :P
Yes, needs some balancing but good fun.
lots of fun. good balance and polish
I have a new found appreciation for C++ after the mess with javascript this weekend. fun game. it slows down for you when the difficulty increases :)

Cool game! I reached a point where I was getting more health than I could spend. Quite fun, but needs a little balancing.

Yep, mostly done in two days with a little on the 3rd (eg. win condition :P). We definitely should have made the trees part of the game mechanic :D
