Neat game, noticing the lack of sound, but a good concept

Took me a while but I hit 11K points. I couldn't figure out how to destroy the packs of critters sitting near the center. The help screen was important and well detailed. Nice job =)

Interesting game, it was hard at first, I kept running out of viruses.
I found a bug though, you do not get new viruses when you restart the game.

Very nice effort! It feels like there's a potential gem buried in this game - it's just too difficult in its current state to find it (especially with the no viruses on restart bug)...

I keep running out of viruses... I can't figure out a reliable way to get rid of the fast little critters, so they keep on killing me. The help screen was nice, but I feel the game is too fast for the amount of stuff to remember...

I think this could be really nice with a gentler difficulty curve and perhaps a tutorial type approach that introduces enemies / viruses one at a time (oh and music / sound).

Thanks a lot for your comments.
Yup iam a bit dissapointed of myself that i didnt add sound in the last 3 hours of the competition.
After the 37 hours without sleep i had to stop.
I added the restart in the last moment thats the reason for the bug :(.
I wished for a tutorial too.
The short time didnt allow me that ....
I thought of a tipps page like instructions but with a situation for every virus.
Maybe i will add this stuff after the votes and publish it on my site.
Thanks so far.

Took a while to figure out what to do, even with your instructions.
The static background image made it seem like nothing was happening when I tried to move, until some enemies showed up.
Not a bad game once I got into it though.

It's a shame there was a lack of audio, but the idea was nice and works well with the theme :)

The controls and game play made me crazy. I liked it enough to play for a few minutes but I think I needed a control sheet sheet to have gone farther.
