Escape!

You've been accidentally injected into your beloved spouse.
Escape before re-expansion!

Pod will point toward the mouse cursor.
Left click to increase speed.
Right click to fire blast.

Charge your blast by converting flesh, simply drive over it.

Black areas are "open" and allow the greatest speed.

White blood cells are out to get you, you are an infection!
Too many white blood cell attacks will clog your engines,
trapping you inside your loved one.

Can you make it out before you re-expand and rip apart your loved one?

Interesting concept. Somewhat confusing on exactly where you're trying to escape to, as it seems you can go anywhere. also hard to follow due to everything being very small, so I kept hitting stuff when I was trying to save time on arteries.

Interesting, yet bit confusing - it really is TOO small.

Yep, I was going to put in some kind of zoom functionality, but I didn't have time :) Thanks for the comments.

I can't run it. It keeps crashing with those messages: http://pastebin.com/PY6FK0Ba

Reminded me a lot of microcosm (for the good old SegaCD). Also that nurse is probably by Umbrella Corp, judging from the way she handles syringes :P

Excellent difficulty level.

Sorry Laksen, I use a pretty big texture in there. I'm afraid you won't be able to run it with your hardware.

I have the same problem as Laksen....

Aw man. I'm hitting that crash right after the intro :(

It's quite small (as mentioned in another post) but I laughed a lot. There isn't another game quite like this in the competition. :P

Nice work.
