The game seems nice but I found it a bit hard to move around

@kuiefs Exactly the opposite of our concept! Wow. So similar, yet so different.
Liked the idea. Controls can be simplified a little bit. Would feel better if you can change direction quicker. Making white cells appear more frequently can increase excitement.

Hey anyone reading this! The controls were a bit rough on the web version (I think perf related), so we uploaded a mac version. Will upload a windows version soon also!

seems likes a unique concept, but the controls are a bit slow. Great job on the art however, very nice, it reminds me of the old cell cartoon.

Nice work! It was reasonably quick to hop into and play/understand, however the rough controls on web version are definitely a bit noticeable. That aside, it was still pretty neat to play. Good work!

I have a feeling that I moved slower when live of a micro was at the end, It is a good entry. Good luck with your game!

Hi! I really liked the concept, and the implementation is well done under the jam constraints. I found the controls a bit annoying, but it seems like this could have great potential!

Nice game :smile: Reminds me so much about the first game I ever made using Unity http://incd021.com/list-of-games/cellvivor/
Top score ended up being 20, is so hard. :D Was missing a bit of audio, to spice things up a bit. But very nice job :thumbsup:

Nice game! I miss a in-game tutorial that explains you the controls and some narrative background. Congratulations for your job!

Very fun game.

The idea is very interesting and I enjoyed playing it.

The speed at the beginning of the party is too slow and bit frustrating. Add an indication to explain in game that the player can switch cell by pressing tab and a cursor to show witch cell is selected.

Also make the contamination more satisfactory for the player (ex: increase speed of virus, the size...).

Overall great job :thumbsup:

Very fun, the movement makes it unique. Having to manage switching units and timing is engaging.

The game probably gets too hard after you get to fifty or sixty because healthy cells aren't spawning fast enough. The healthy cells seem to spawn in an area around the active player, but it's game over if you miss and go off into the empty infinity.

An interesting idea! Having multiple cells and switching between them was a great concept, and it's realized pretty well. The movement is a bit slow - it feels like it takes ages to move (and then even longer to stop), so most of the life cycle of the virus is spent on fighting the controls. Other than that, I really enjoyed playing it. Well done! ;)
