World of Bacteria by dem0
You take a control of a group of bacteria. Your goal is to survive as long as possible and grow population big as possible.
All bacteria are different by their abilies, they multiply, mutate and conjugate, die plus you can buy and improve genes and powerups yourself. There are other cells, particles etc for you to eat and lymphocytes and phagocytes to eat you.
You can group and evolve your bacteria to create optimal populations for maximal survival and to prolong your certain defeat.
The game is complicated, so read 'readme.txt'. Randomness is a big factor, so gameplay might vary. One time ends in the beginning and in the other you might success.
!!Note that when you buy stuff you have to have the bacteria you want to update selected, otherwise it won't update it even if it plays the sound
3.9

I can see there is potential though, it probably needs some polish and more feedback on player actions to become enjoyable.
Otherwise, nifty game. Add a cleaner UI, clean up the movement, and this game would keep my attention for hours.
Loosing is fun :D
I will surely try to make the game simpler and more balanced, I have already fixed some things and will probably put a new version at some point.
commanderstitch: The phagocytes (black circles) will see bacteria if they are too close to it or a B Lymfocyte (green pixels) catches one of your bacteria, so watch out for them.
Readme.txt should explain everything, but I admit that it's very messy. I will probably remake that too :)
