Even the heroes of video games can get sick, and some illnesses are worse than others. You control a tiny, space-borne virus created by 8-bit Space Hero's nemesis, and your goal is to invade the hero's body, seek out his heart, and kill him. A job's a job, I guess.
Shove Space Hero's body parts aside to infiltrate his pixelated body. Yeah it probably hurts, but you can't hear him screaming in his helmet. Avoid the antibodies between the pixels that will chase you down and swallow you up as they delay their host's inevitable demise.
This is it for Space Hero. If you don't like being the weapon then the least you could do is make it quick -- if you can.
This is really cool. It's super simple, but it's really fun. I had no idea what I was supposed to do at first, but that was fine, because knocking blocks around was kinda fun. I was able to piece it together bit by bit, and that was fun too. All in all, this is a tiny game, but it is a great game, and you should be proud.
Ok, that was different than what I expected from the screenshots :) Nice work. I'd like to have the camera position in the middle, but thats the only thing that bothers me a bit in this game.
you know... when it started I thought it was a nice idea, but the more I played and the more the music built up, the more I REALLY enjoyed it! There are some surprising tactics when you move around and trap the other red blobs... so I kept going and I did it! Take that spaceman! :D Love the music :) perfect for the mood. a FIRST ENTRY? excellent job.
Very unique and strange. Music and graphics could use improving, but the core concept is fun. Also the color of the anti viruses should not be red, as the first play through I thought they were part of the heart.
This is pretty cool. I like the way you get in between the spaceman's "cells" on your way to the heart. I didn't know what the goal was when I started, not knowing what the heart looked like. But I totally found it and eliminated that dude.
It's pretty hard to move inside the body at first since everything's so tightly packed. Maybe that's a tactics issue for the player to solve. Once you're playing, there isn't really any way to get your bearings to the heart. A minimap, even if it didn't actually show the heart's location, would really help when you're zoomed in that far.
Really appreciate all the constructive criticism. My friends who've played have said much of the same - the heart and antibodies shouldn't be the same color, finding Space Hero again is hard without a minimap. If I had time to improve it, I'd add a slowly recharging ability that lets you blast cells out away from you very quickly to aid in escape, and I'd make the heart more obvious.
Good job for your first game ! The concept is good, but it would have been cool to push it further, maybe adding different body parts with different shapes, or even a race between two players to infect the same body...
This looks like a neat little game, but I can't play it. You've only posted a web version that doesn't run on chrome. Consider posting a webGL or windows/mac version.

Also thanks for the feedback on my game: I fixed the missing download link, if you want to try it out.

Unique idea, even if it does give me the hibigeebies.
