Reminded me of the Cell Stage from Spore. Good work.

Haha, that face was terrifying when it first turned up. The swimming behaviour was quite satisfying. Enough control to dodge but not so easy it was dull. Nice job.

Finished it! Quite fun. Got a bit tiring at the end. What was that huge thing?

I liked the evolving game mechanics as you progressed although I could never be bothered using my gun. Graphics were a bit simple but a fun game I played to the end.

Avalanche meets spore meets asteroids. Fun!
