=========================================================

-Use the arrow keys or WASD to move the camera: the map is bigger than you think!
-Clicking on an organ causes them to function, clicking on the upgrade token causes you to put points towards upgrading it.
-Clicking on the lung causes you to grow all growing parts of you
-Click on growing parts of you directly to make you grow faster
-Click on damaged parts of you to repair yourself
-Click on the pancreas to digest food faster
-Clicking on the stomach and brain doesn't do anything

A bit hard to play first time. I felt loose with the organ management

Very cool retro intro actually, it set the tone of what was to come. Only the trumpet-melody in the beginning sounded a bit like menacing farts ;) Gameplay itself was a bit frantic and frustrating, probably because I didn't really understand it, so many seemingly complex systems at play, yet that's refreshingly different!

Still a solid entry, proto-RTS, enjoyed it.

It's difficult to multitask between upgrading organs (as that requires click spamming) and growing (as that requires click spamming).
However, overall, it's a solid game. I like the idea and the execution. It just needs a little more polish. Great job!

The graphics need work but the theme was right on.

It was sorta hard to play and didn't understand it complete. Cool intro!

I loved it, down to the hand-drawn art, bleegy deep music, and organs. There is a certain charm and happy rawness to it.

Game works fine. Music is a bit loud at default. I like how the story is told. btw, I found a bug, or at least a graphical glitch: you can grow into a city tile diagonally, which looks awkward.

I like the idea. May be less spam clicking and more polish. But overall, it's not bad at all ! Well done !

Hello fellow blob-city-game dev. I couldn't really figure out how to efficiently grow without getting destroyed, can you not move over tanks or something? Fun music and graphics!

I _loved_ this. The intro is pure genius. Even in paint, it conveys all the beautiful B-movie drama of a big pink blob taking over the world.

I found the gameplay a bit hectic, jumping between organs and the main screen and those tanks! But I had fun playing.

You can grow onto tanks, which destroys them.

Neat-o game! I was a bit confused about which organ did what and the map being larger than the viewport wasn't immediately obvious, but otherwise it was fun to play! Good job!

Surprisingly deep mechanics, even if slightly confusing at the start.

Really neat game, though it does start a bit confusing! I included it in part 2 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/ml0OKpi-I0Y

Very hard for me! But the idea is great and with a couple of weeks of work the game could grow and grow :D

Wow that is one super awesome revolutionary take on the RTS genre!!! Glad to see a unique idea like that!
(btw you do have a sound glitch on losing on OSX...keeps looping and won't exit without a hard quit)
