Growing bacteria using light and solving puzzles doing so.

First time using Unity, didn't think the idea was good enough at first, but with a few helpful tips it has still become a playable game (you be the judge ;)).

Windows (64bit): http://softwarebakery.com/games/lightandbacteria/lightandbacteria.windows.x64.zip

I *REALLY* like to know:

* Where you got stuck.

* Where was more guidance/instructions preferable.

Any other issue is also much appreciated. The WebGL version had shader problems, so I hope no other platforms are affected.

Any and all feedback is very much appreciated!

Amazing game, love how it all works, with a few more mechanics and some sound it would definitely be a game I would buy. Probably work really well on mobile. Your first time using Unity has been very successful.

Very very addictive game. With a little improvement of mechanics and sound could be great game.

This was very nice! Sometimes they bacteria were getting really big and filled the entire screen but all in all very nice idea!

Damn hard game, but good one.

Cool mechanics. I got the the 75g, 200r, 200b level and then it seemed the bacterium stopped splitting and just kept growing, which made it a bit frustrating. Fairly clear graphics, although I'd suggest making the contrast between light and not-light a little more pronounced. Nice game.

Very very cool, my favorite LD game so far! I would really love to see this more polished (better contrast for light spots, sound) and with more content for mobile devices!

Nice work, a great puzzle game, it would be awesome if this were expanded to create more variety - i got stuck on 75 green, 200 red, 200 blue - no matter where I put things I couldn't quite get the numbers up.

Wow, great job! Very solid, and graphics were simple but effective. Nice!
