There's something wrong with Edmond. Can the cells in his body defeat the virus that is attacking him?
Right now the game has 10 levels. I think I will add more levels and features after ludum dare is over.
Instructions - Drag the cells around - White blood cells destroy germs - germs eat red blood cells - Avoid hitting the crust that is building up in Edmon's immune system
Development Stuff This game was made with unity. This is my first time using unity to make a full game so I'm sure my code isn't the best. I have used other frameworks and engines in the past.
Overall I liked working with Unity and I will probably make some more games with it.
I made everything in this game except for the music. I found the music on Reddit. It was made by professorlamp on soundcloud.
Neat physics-based puzzles that required both planning and careful execution. I liked the difficulty ramped up but wasn't brutally hard. Wasn't clear on the "connected worlds" theme.
thanks for the feedback! It's hard for me to tell if the levels are too hard or not hard enough until I let a bunch of people play it lol. I want to add more levels so I'll probably make the new ones a little harder.
For the 2 worlds thing, My Idea was to have the human sized world and the germ sized "world". Your actions in the germ world effect the human, so the worlds are connected by that.
Not too bad a concept. Good use of mobile touch screen. A bit frustrating to play with a mouse. Graphics are pretty decent, better than most on the app store. Mechanics are pretty straightforward but there's room to grow. Fair effort, with a bit more expansion this could be marketable.
I liked it. Worked like a charm on my Nexus 7... On mobile it would have been cool to have the red blood cells float toward the tilt of the device and the flicks move the white blood cells.
Also, I wanted some sort of audio feedback on moving things, maybe a heart beat?
Overall one of the best entries I've played so far. Nice work!
The gradual increase in concepts is important and is done quite well. However the movement of the white blood cells. I don't see how this is connected to the them though.
:D I was laughing hard. We did the exact same idea as you. I mean the connection between its inside and outside. I mean if you were from nearby, I would invite you for a beer :D.
About the game. You had a different approach than us, its actually a game. (Sorry that I compare it to ours, but the similarity of the idea is incredible). I would improve the sprites you are using (cellular level) and a music a bit(i know that 72h is not enough time) . The game mechanic is good. I think the fast decision based gameplay helps it a lot.
Simple concept, good level design with a gentle difficulty curve. I had a lot of fun and I was able to cure Edmond. :)
The controls might have been more responsive or might have given better feedback while we're flicking the white blood cells around, but overall it's a nice entry.

On my phone, the "mines" were very hard to see, which led to some frustation. I hope to see you improve this game in the future.
