There's only one level.

To play the game you can download binaries for your platform or the Source/Universal file. The Universal file can be opened if you have LOVE installed on your computer. Also the .love file can be unzipped to have a look at all source code and data.

Crashes way too often. The game looks okay otherwise. I wish I could actually get to the computers and shoot more than one amoeboid.

TehSkull what platform are you on? Sorry about the crashing :P

Seems fairly fun, I got nearly to the end (or what I assume is the end), before the game crashed on me. I couldn't quite figure out the evolution aspect of it, though... did the ameboids evolve when two different colored ones came together or something like that?

running 64-bit Win 7, also getting a few crashes, there is a little hang after dismissing the first message too

I stepped in a puddle of pee and died. Later on I won.

Was a little easy but worked for me :) (on Mac)

I liked the combining amoeboids idea :) I didn't realise it was them creating the yellow for a while though, so didn't think it was dangerous until too late :p

Not a bad topdown shooter engine. I think bullets and enemy reactions to shooting could be a bit more "substantial" if you know what I mean.

Also music would've been very nice in a game like this :)

the side-view of the character in combination with top-down levels and controls was a little confusing at first.
i like the initial animation that scrolled to the player start-position.

i would give a nicer rating but WAYYY to many crashes.
still, looked good, was fun (and frustrating) and kept my attention (till it crashed)

Simple but balanced and fun gameplay. Of course, it would be cool to have more levels, and more enemies, etc. etc.

I wish the music would be longer, it had a VERY catchy beginning. I couldn't get past the big cluster of enemies!
