You are a good bacterium, also called probiotics. You are good for people's health. But there are many bad bacteria out there to kill you and harm human body.
Your task is to kill all the bad bacteria.
You have no weapon or any power to kill them. You are just having a shield of light in front of you, which can only kill the bad ones there. If any of them touch you from beside or aside then you are destroyed.
Music at the beginning is pretty adorable and catchy.. Had some issues when running in my browser so will try on a different computer later tonight (was seeing massive frame rate drops on the first level).. hoping it was just my computer
I really like the way this game controls. It definitely got me into a flow state. The art and backgrounds were nice as well. I could see this going somewhere with the right polish and maybe bonuses when you kill multiple bacteria in a row. Good work!
Feels kinda like that Spore™ stage, when you're a microorganism. Really takes me back. It's a bit laggy though, you might wanna do something about that.
@blurred-lines thanks for fixing the link quickly, I was here a while ago and almost missed playing your game. The control scheme is very clever, challenging but when you master it it feels good. Like @luckydaisy I also had some heavy frame drops, mostly in the later levels, and I have pretty hefty internet. Good game :)
Once you get the hang of the controls it's pretty intuitive and fun. Some sound effects would give it a little extra pizazz, but otherwise it's pretty clean. Solid work!
After a while, it gets a bit repetitive and feels like there isn't much variation for each level. The artwork is good, but can use some more detailing for the background of each level. The player movement is somewhat challenging when trying to kill the bacteria, but doesn't quite fit the gameplay as a whole. Also, it doesn't really feel like I'm running out of space, since the screen size stays the same, too. Decent first try!
The art called back Dr. Mario for me in the best possible way. I loved that game.
Really enjoyed the background music. Found it a little difficult to play on a Macbook, but I suspect that's a hardware limitation with the mouse controls more than anything.
Lag is a bit unpleasant. Love the limited control scheme, but would like to see some more enemy variety, maybe some that path back and forth or shoot projectiles.
Simple and nice, I had a hard time playing because of frames dropping when rotating, maybe the rotation code is slowing down the game?. Fixing that will greatly improve the game.
Interesting game. I'd suggest taking off the controls before every level. The stuttering made it hard to play at times, but other than that it was very fun.
Nice controls and art, it has potential but needs a lot more polish and complexity to not feel stale after a few levels. A bit laggy. Also I don't see the jam theme at all in it, you should opt out of this category.
Nice entry! The art is pretty good, and the music is appropriate but it gets repetitive after a while (maybe add some other sounds or variation?). The controls are a strange choice, but it adds an interesting level of challenge that I think actually works pretty well with this game. Gameplay quickly gets challenging, but I was able to beat the entire game after a few dozen deaths. Overall well done!

Thanks for posting! Really fun play!
Could do with some polishing.
