You are a geneticly engineered bacteria, created by a computer program who wanted to clean (sterilize) the top of it's computer's screen. Your mission is to kill all the other bacteria. The entire game is therefore litterally on one screen :p
To achieve your mission, you can throw antibodies (press SPACE) to neutralize other bacteria, and you can send bullet proteins (press B) to kill them. Be careful, as the enemy bacteria are able to shoot their own proteins at you, are able to repair themselves and they even can de-neutralize themselves after some time, so be quick !
Dont forget to surveil your energy reserves and membrane damage, or you may die and fail the mission...

Ah thanks, bug fixed. Actually I had left the .psd Photoshop files in the folder, rather than the .png and therefore the program couldn't read the images... :p
Really good game. Except that the sounds are too loud. I did not quit before I won :) These bacteria are discusting, I don't even wanna know what are these things we throw at each other :) Good point of view about the theme too.
This was an interesting, concept, im not sasd that i didnt think of it though :), but the game play would of been better if the movement was in 2d, not just 1d, the game was 2 easy, and i played through it entirely with out every knowing what the energy bar was used for. other than those minor complaints its a good game :)
Very simple, but I really liked it. I'd love to know how you got that noise background to scroll like you did, I'm trying to generate nebulae on another project. I like the look and scattering effect of the anti-bodies.
Watching the timelapse of you making the game was even more fun than playing, really like the constant tweaking and you got it to a good place! :thumbsupdude:
First things first: I _hate_ installers for LD games. The fact that you included an executable zip, is just amazing. Thank you for that consideration. Game crashed on close though. Anyway, the game itself is cute and clever. Very difficult, but a good job none the less. Thank you for all your effort :D
Funny use of the theme. Very simple, but some neat ideas. The "blast a bunch of stuff" attack was fun and certainly not something I'd seen in other games, so good work there. A few bugs (at least I think they're bugs) make it difficult to play: all revolving around previously neutralized enemies becoming suddenly un-neutralized. This especially happened when two enemies spawn fairly close. Fighting the second one and having to back up often meant I would run into the first one which was somehow active again.
