Unicell Manager

Very good idea and concept

Good concept for a game. I like that the player has to do some strategy builder stuff but also manage this hectic space that involves physics bouncing things about. It may have been too quick paced and dense for me to get a good handle of what was going on. Perhaps including the graphics for the different elements in the little tutorial intro panel would have helped me understand more quickly. Overall, nice work.

I played this for a while, but it was quite unclear when I could grow, an indicator for that could be useful, like absorb X energy so that I know what's going on. Otherwise, pretty fun little game, I only stopped playing when I got too crowded to have anymore space, heh. Also, it wasn't obvious at first that I could upgrade the individual organella as well (although right-clicking the nucleus did nothing) :)
Good job!

while playing this I kind of wanted to know more about the science about it. could get some narration in that regard.

Good game ! Graphics are nice, audio too. The concept is really good.

I liked this game for the most part, but there's no way to produce a new protein vacuole if you're out of protein and your last one is destroyed, though I guess that makes sense. Also, I'm not sure if there's a better way to deal with toxins than to block them from reaching your nucleus with your other organelles, but if there is, you probably should make it more known.

I'm really glad you enjoyed our game.

And yes, it's the only way to save your nucleus – sacrificing other organella. Also, it was fully intentional that you can't build anything when all your protein vacuola get destroyed :).

I really love this concept and the inclusion of real science education, but I found the game frustrating. I also think it could be quickly improved with some adjustments.

-If I am out of protein vacuoles AND out of protein, the game is over, please kill me.
-If there are nutrients in the cell, I should always be able to reach them.
-The cell always feels the same size. This would change if you shrink the organella a bit when the cell grows.
-Nucleus health regeneration. The other things can be replaced, but damage to the nucleus is a permanent regret.

You did great work and I wouldn't write so much if I didn't like it. Best of luck!

I really like idea, immersive game, good job!

Love the concept. Yo've got a really cool setting. Good job with mood too :D

lol nice one!

I think you need to make a Linux build as the Windows version run through Wine had no text.

Just awesome, really. 5 stars fun

the game is awesome and you should totally share the source code :D

i like biology games very much! check out my first ludum dare game http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=49267

Biochemist here, really like this game idea but its a lot of game rules to digest directly. Would be better if the player would face only one or a few new concepts per level and only start with one core game behaviour. Im still not sure if I understand how everything works after playing this a while. I would like to have some way to defend agaist toxins instead of sacrificing organells, add a peroxisome maybe? Expanding this game sounds very interesting (for me at least) with adding more and more organells and concepts per level, maybe playing with different cell types or coping with viruses, so much to add...

The main menu was a little glitchy for me [running windows 7, some text was overlapping, and the buttons didn't work], but other than that, the game itself was cool.

I can tell you out a lot of thought into this, and overall I liked it. Nice job :)
