good job!
Overall, the game passes.
There's something great about seeing lots of little things taking down bigger and bigger things. Turning the final boss's friends against him and mass firing everything at once, he didn't stand a chance! Hehe. Well done!
Pros:
Graphics were nice.
I liked that the size of the cell correlated to its output speed and health.
What audio was there, I felt was a good fit.
I really liked how this is a very simple game, but still left me wanting more.
Cons:
The first one that comes to mind is going forward, the ability to zoom in and out would be an absolute necessity. Obviously with what is currently playable, it's not that big a deal, but I assume later levels would be much larger.
Again, this is a non-issue in it's current state, but I feel background music would be a good way to ease frustrations with future levels.
I feel like you guys kinda dropped the ball on the theme though. If you're going for the "monster inside" thing, I feel as though more could have been done to reinforce that. I realize 72 hours isn't a lot of time, but while playing this, the "You are the monster" theme was not present.
Overall, I would love to play this if it's ever finished, really, there isn't a lot to complain about. It's a simple game, and you did well.
It could have done with some sort of timer imo, it was too easy to beat. More levels would have been great!
