Gameplay is pretty good but agree with the above comment.

Great game! i kind of liked the puzzle idea. It kind of reminded me of gunpoint (which is a good thing :) )\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Some Background music would have been nice as well as a second (or even more) level but the gameplay itself is so intriguing that does not matter that much.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Really nice Work!"},{"author_name":"pinkmonkeyhead","author_uid":"11711","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 8:28pm","epoch":1398716580,"text":"Really nice mechanics!

Its goal is to get the CEO of the company sick, and some devious cunning (which bacterial diseases seldom have) is needed to move through the building. The idea is that the bacteria are 'beneath' the skin of the host.\r\n\r\nThe disease can have only one host at a time, but it can cause various symptoms to that host. Using these symptoms strategically is the key to getting through the game.\r\n\r\nIt uses only left mouse button, yay! I tend to have too complicated control schemes.\r\n\r\nThe game was made using Multimedia Fusion 2 by Clickteam. Also I used an example to get the A* pathfinding working - said example was made by Adam 'Sketchy' Hawker. Thanks, Adam!","title":"BactoCo"}
