Nice graphics and animations.
Nice idea and the mood. You have my vote for something fresh after looking at all those space games with planets :D
First nice game I played yet. Very nice idea and execution.
Well done!
As always fun little game. Props for something new :D
I don't like all those frustrating platform games but this one is make me less frustrated :)
You have the humor factor maxed out here :)
Hard but interesting
PTSnoop: thanks for clarification. English is not my main language. I will hotfix the translation.
Steve: you're right! I will add this feature for misclick (after the compo)
Thanks You all for the kind words. I was afraid that no one will understand how this game works :)
All the people who don know how to play: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life
You MUST known what the Conway's Game of Life is. This is not a causal game for kids, it's casual game for geeks :D
Arowx: I was thinking of that but don't have enough time. And It would not work because the "brain" part is what moves/kills/borns new bacterias.
But You can think of it as You are the next layer. It all the bacterias dies You will loose. You must take care of them to maintain alive.
phi: Yes the tutorial part was done in the last hours and it's lacking the "skip" button. Well can't change that now.
With the font it's the same story: to little time, I don't have the engine for pixel art text - this is in my to do list for this game engine (it will be used in some other hackathon games)
Overall thanks for criticism. I would like to change all of this after the judging is done.
p.s. Yes, the bacteria is the third layer ( game of life -> bactrium -> player ) as we all have in our bodies thousands of (good nad bad) bacteria. We will die shortly withou them (the good ones for sure).
renatopp: I think it is but that's the "problem" with interpreting art - anyone have their own version.
I was trying to thing out side the box: connecting "worlds" as computer science (cellular automation), biology (bacteria) and the player (play/live as long as he take care of the bacteria).
I like it. Loved the mood and old school look of the game :)
