Genetics-Pop by zapaman
A simple match 3-like game that revolves around forming rows or columns of same-colored cells in order to generate mutations (represented by white-damaged cells). Each mutations increases the Time Counter and awards points!
Points can be spent (while in-game) on cell-bombs, which clear an area of 3x3 cells.
Goal: Mutate x number of cells. X increases with each level. So does the spawn rate of the cells. You loose the game if the timer reaches 0, or if there are more then ~34 non-mutated colored cells on the field.
Controls:
Left mouse button to place a cell
Right mouse button to place a bomb
Key 1 for Red Cell, Key 2 for Blue
Q - to return to main menu
Known bugs:
- you cannot form a row or column with all the pieces on the first layers of the grid (math error, can't fix it without rewriting the CheckCellStatus function! Maybe after two hours of sleep).
- The web version has problems with displaying .ttf fonts. The text will appear miss aligned.

The thing is, even with the info, I couldn't really figure out the best way to play the game. How do you switch between the two awkward cell colors? You should allow something like rightclick or scrolling to do it.
Also it would be nice if you could click on the game over screen to restart, instead of having to press a key.
@Ragzouken, fr_automatik: Thanky :D
