This is the final version of my Ludumdare 24 entry… Everything was running fine the first day, but when I woke up the second day of the contest, I felt very sick (and I still feel very sick ). I decided to abort the contest, as I could not concentrate to work because of the sickness…

Last thing I finnished today was the cellular theme, that also plays in this video..

The game idea:
The player controls a swarm of cells. He does not control the cells directly. He has a focus and several modes, the swarm can be put to. The modes are not implemented (also, besides following the focus the cells don’t do very much)… I thought of four modes to implement: Follow, Eat, Attack and Defend. Each mode would change the behavior of the cells depending on the surroundinds.

I like the idea and if I can iron out some of the problems I had (memory leak anyone) I might complete this game sometime in the future…

It was a fun time (at least the first day).

Oh, if you like the theme, you can download it here:
