Green things look scary. I like oldschoolness of this one.

Thanks, Robert. Appreciate the feedback. You are saying all the things we wanted people to notice. Wish we had the whole 72 hours to work on it. We were at C2E2 all weekend. Put about 8-9 hours here.

No explanation as to how to play the game past click on the healthy bacteria. The constant camera movement makes it harder as the bacteria move too fast.

Cool retro graphics and music. I liked the way you made it a lot more difficult by having the screen scrolling around :)

Hehe, awesome interpretation of the theme. Though I'd rather not think about what lives under the surface of my keyboard :P I wasn't sure when the game was over. The site gave me a pop-up, but when I told my browser to stop letting it show pop-ups I seemed to be able to play forever. The music was good :)

@Vytheros, thanks for the feedback. Not sure why the instructions were cut off for you. The constant movement was put there to make it harder.

Hey Hexagore, Glad you appreciated the difficulty in keeping up with the moving screen. Thanks for your comments on the graphics and music. It's what we were going for.

World Record - 10! :D

(Okay, I figured it out on the second try)

A little mind numbing yet slightly satisfying the first play or two. Gameplay seems a little limited because of the field and no new enemies or interactions going on. I like the use of the theme and especially the scale of the keyboard art.

Camera seems to get suck a bit sometimes.

Music works well although is repetitive.

Could use death or other animations. Overall it seems kind flat.
