Reflux by wavertron
THEME
You are the monster: "Bifbifidus refluxus" -> a monster stomach bug!
HOW TO PLAY
Convert healthy pink bacteria in the gut to a nasty sick green.
Turn them all green to win the level.
Beware the healthy blue bugs, they will chase you if you're too close, kill you on touching, and change the sick green bacteria back into healthy pink.
CONTROLS
The green bug (you) will move towards your mouse pointer.
The further away the mouse pointer, the faster you move.

I liked this game, good bleerrghhh!
I tried to kite them in a corner and then take over the level but that didn't work out. May be I missed something.
May be it would be better to find a setup that's more entropic/escalating somehow so level sessions have a more or less fixed play length and players don't feel as much like their progress is lost.
Besides that I think with some updated graphics and sounds (besides the puking which is perfect) this could be a really fun complete game. If it would be a tad slower it could work on touch devices too!
The minimap is a really nice touch but if you would need to save the screen space you could also put in directional indicators instead pointing to where the other cells are.
You should continue working on this! I like making people feel sick! ;)
