Made with Stencyl 3.0 beta :-)
I encountered a strange bug with it : I haven't be able to fix the background (cells) :'(
Edit : Stencyl fixed the repeating background bug, it was not my fault, so I just recompiled with the new update :p

I tried something new with sounds/music to change the classical sfx, it took me lot of times, and the result is... different :-D

I'm proud of my quest system and my map, but I lacked time and haven't made a conclusion :-S

Some tips to play :
- You go faster on infected cells;
- More you control cells, less leukocytes appear;
- Eat erythocytes (red ones) heals you;
- It can not be more than 25 leukocytes in the same room;
- It can not be more than 1 bullet on screen at the same time, so : closer you are to your target, faster you can shoot!
- Start to aim easy quests that rewards bonus, they will not disappear if you die!

Have fun! ;-)

It's a great idea and a decent execution, but the mouse control makes it difficult to shoot the white cells.

Addicting game ! Well done ! A huge game with several levels, plenty of quest and powers ! How did you have time to do all this work ? Bravo :)

@Bensonance : you have to press the X key to target white cells without moving.

@lotusgame : that's right that I didn't slept much ^^

Thanks for your comments!

Very impressive game and felt quite polished. As you mentioned, the lack of ending is the only thing that stuck out.

Loooooooooooooved it omg, ruining cells at high speed is so much fun it makes me feel evil though :P

Mago19 Dec 2012, 20:02

Really good and complex game. Very good sounds. On the bad side the controls are little hard to get use to

i played the heck out of this. was a bit too difficult for me but couldn't stop. good job.

Hatscatauthor19 Dec 2012, 22:31

Your comments glad me so much! :D

really cool!

Alink20 Dec 2012, 13:36

Cool game, I liked the territory mechanic.

wally206920 Dec 2012, 17:51

Well this was very weird and a strange take on the theme.

This was a fun game. Very well done.

illugion22 Dec 2012, 13:58

The white cells are so OP XD really cool game and i really like the sound effects and music

Colapsydo22 Dec 2012, 20:51

This game is so original.
I definitively like the way each action has a different sound, even if it's not always nice and melodic, it contributes a lot to the atmosphere.

Hatscatauthor22 Dec 2012, 21:35

Thanks for your comments
@Colapsydo : yeah it was the first time I try that for the sounds, to change, and that took me lot of times ^^

cwilloughby22 Dec 2012, 22:27

Cool idea. I couldn't figure out how to stick to a board to switch rooms. Controls felt great.

Milo23 Dec 2012, 00:03

This game felt complete aside from a few small things. It was kind of long, but I enjoyed it enough to play it through. I wish there was more variety in gameplay though.

Gornova23 Dec 2012, 09:53

it's not bad! impressive content lot to do!

har_g23 Dec 2012, 12:04

nice execution.

NiceAlexanderAS24 Dec 2012, 15:48

wow! great job! :D you put a lot on this game! :D

jackspinoza27 Dec 2012, 20:22

good stuff here. I loved the sound and the theme is great too. A bit tricky to kill the white cells because when I aimed I just ran right into them.

infernet8929 Dec 2012, 13:46

Woha, pretty long game for a Ludum Dare's One! Very well done, 5/5.

Patrick6429 Dec 2012, 14:06

Nice! Very inventive gameplay ideas. Quite difficult when there's a big bunch of whitecells coming for you though.

DDRKirby(ISQ)29 Dec 2012, 14:16

Pretty interesting, in concept and with the audio.

firestorm71330 Dec 2012, 12:32

This was pretty damn fun. A little difficult, but awesome. I would've incorporated WASD steering to make it a little more accessible.

AdventureIslands3 Jan 2013, 22:31

Nice idea and execution in such a short time! Pretty difficult though with all the white cells spawning, can they be stopped or halted somehow?

Hatscatauthor8 Jan 2013, 06:52

Thanks all!
@AdventureIslands : Yes, more you control cells, less leukocytes appear! From approximately 5sec to 60sec between two white cells spawning
