This game is about war between blue and red cells.
It's my first LudumDare entry. Though I didn't manage to complete this game in 48 hours and the final result looks quite differently from my original idea, whole experience of creating game in such a short period of time was amazing.
This game is a lot of fun and had a pretty cool concept, I liked it. However, as fussycashew said, farming on the "LD26" really made it easy to beat. You might want to make it more clear that the mouse controls the cell if you ever continue this, as I died a couple of times trying the arrow keys and the wasd keys...
Definitely a fun little game. The one sound effect is a tad loud. I really liked the concept of building up yourself and the smaller helper cells. As fussycachew mentioned, it's a bit to tempting to exploit the LD26. Nicely done overall.
Quite original concept, but gameplay questionable - it is just too easy with the LD 26 in the middle. But I had great fun hunting enemy cells with my huge army :-D
Really nice concept. This has a lot of potential. It's like Pacman meets Osmos with a bit of good ol' Asteroids in it. It was to easy though. After one minute I was able to annihilate anything I met. I also think it would improve on the game if the world wrapped at the edges like in Asteroids. I had to turn the sound down after a while because it got annoying ;)
Nice concept! Like other people said, the "LD 26" made it too easy to grow large fast and beat the game. I can imagine this working very well as something to pass the time on a cellphone, given a more "drifty" gameplay and randomly generated levels each time I play :)
Very cool game! I really like the concept, though, the "LD26" kind of breaks the game. The problem is, that its too easy, to build a fairly decent army of blue cells, just moving left/right on it. Try considering, stopping the points from reapearing or give them a longer timeout.
The cell you played as was so cute. I'm not sure if that was intentional or not though. Also, you could just hang out near the beginning and collect the 'LD 26' dots to easily overpower the other cells.
I really want to play this but i have problems running this on my Mac :( console says: "-- Could not find image named 'BackArrow'. -- Could not find image named 'ForwardArrow'." And the programm quits. any suggestions?
A nice concept, I iked having my legions of blue completed destroy the red enemies. The controls I did not like all that much, it seems to be more oriented towards touch screens.
Really cool, sharp looking, well-made. I enjoyed discovering how it worked, although I never really felt in danger despite the persistent guided enemy bullets. It does kind of break down after you get a big enough posse following you around - you can barely eat anymore, because your guys narf it all, and if you hang out by the LD26 you spawn so many homeys that nobody can even get close to you. But a cool game, very visually appealing. I actually did a game kind of like this for LD 23 called Teeming - weird how different themes can produce similar results. Nice job!
Nice idea, a bit too easy overall since "nourishment" are replenishing very fast. Also, mouse should have worked by holding it down, not only clicking. As other mentioned, keys would be a nice option also.

Would've liked the option of arrow keys/WASD to move, though.
