Under the Glass by dxdydz
This is a pretty simple arcade-style game that takes place under the microscope. Steer your little micro-organism to pick up the green goodies while avoiding the deadly cell-thingies that float around.
I couldn't get a .exe working in time, so the game is packaged as .zip of the assets + python script. Requires python (works on both 3.2 and 2.7) and pygame.

I agree with Beanalby that the cell-thingies (baddie?) on the edge get frustrating. Would be cool if there could be some sort of indicator on the edge that a cell will spawn at a point soon.
mneubrand: I wanted to put an animated flagellum on the back to help indicate direction, but I didn't get around to it in time. Thanks for trying my game, though!
It reminded me of Osmos and snake.
I didn't really get bothered by the baddies on the edges, but I found it a little bit confusing that I could move outside the screen and get lost.
Maybe you should automatically turn around once you get out to far, so that you find your way back.
I also value that the game gets harder with time, or at least I felt like there were more baddies reporting in with time. Maybe I'm just getting paranoid when I gather lots of valuable score points.
At all it was a nice short fun game with a wonderfully balance atmosphere.
The truth is I don't want to install python or python game, but I want to play your game :-)
I'm sure you'll get more ratings if you exe-fy your game. And I know ptyhon is great and all but still, web-playable games are better since you don't have to download 1402 of them...
