Wasn't exactly challenging, but fun idea and I liked the music.

I liked the controls and the music. If you add some more difficulty it would be great!

I loved it, I think it has big potential. No bugs found, only viruses ;)

It's definitely a good idea, and had you added a tutorial system in the game as well as explained some of the sceince behind this, you could have had yourself an excellent educational game!
Dare I suggest this as a post-compo goal? :P
Good work!

Original take on the theme. I liked that my 'children' had a life of their own. the game was pretty easy. It has potential I think.

please if you could don't put things like "sorry linux" in the description, it makes it turn up in the search for linux games though the search engine :/

An interesting idea, and quite fun to see all the child viruses spread around by themselves! Without a background texture, sometimes it's hard to tell if I'm moving or the cells are moving.
