Very cool, but the controls and camera should be improved to provide pleasant player experience.

It might bee too easy but the overall thing was pretty nice. IF you dig the concept more it could be a nice systemic type of game i think!

Nice game. Sometimes seems that there less viruses then the UI suggests.

I wish the I had some kind of on-screen indicator of which way the blue cells would move first when I hit spacebar, because I kept missing when I'd forget if they went right or left first. Other than that, it felt good to wipe that virus out of existence. lol

@doc-moustache It's true that sometimes the game turns out to be quite easy (it depends on the random generated direction for each virus). I'm working to adjust the difficulty in a more consistent way. Thank you!

A bit tricky to understand at first. Thought that the movement of the pills was a bit random at first, but after a while and on my second attempt, it made a lot more sense. While a bit short and rough, it was still fun to play to completion. Thanks for hving shared it with me! :whale:

The concept is quite confusing at first, but once I got the grip on it I thought its really clever. But I think that the controls are not at all intuitive and the gameplay, for me at least, suffers for it. I think it would be better if zou could see the whole map from the air and click with a mouse on each cell. It would turn the game into fun little micro management game. I mean the game is fun as is but I think that this would make it better. Also I would really appreciate if u had some sort of indicator on where the cell is going to dash first. Overall a really nice entry.

Hey, this is great! At first it was a bit hard to understand, but after it's pretty fun. The graphics were nice, and music was really good, along with sounds. It was a bit too short, but it's understandable. Overall, this is a pretty fun game. Congratulations!
