Notes


I designed the controls around the mouse, so I recommend playing with one- but keyboard and joypad control is available if you need it.

- Grow your amoeba by touching the cell wall and right clicking
- Specialise a cell by moving to its centre, hold the right mouse button, now move left or right to select
- A sound and white rings will appear around the player when your grow ability has recharged
- Heal a damaged cell by moving into it, it'll automatically be repaired

Mini-postmortem


There's a lack of cohesion in this as I made a massive direction change midday sunday, and tried to put together a different idea with the parts I already had!

I'm fairly happy with the results considering, but it sorely needs more balancing and fleshing out with additional enemies/buildings to make the construction choices a little more meaningful.

Still it was fun to make!
