Game lore:

InSugarance Inc. presents nano-bot SugarBot!
Diabetes is no longer a problem. Control the SugarBot and save the cells that are on insulin fast.

#### It's self-sufficient!
Sugarbot collects nutrients from the blood for insulin synthesis: find Calcium, Zinc, Amino Acids and Glucose.
Some nutrients can be very rare.

Zink + Amino acid + Сalcium + Glucose = Insulin
#### It's reliable!
Sugarbot has protection from the immune response: its able to absorb attacking lymphocytes

#### It's tenacious!
Sugarbot has a self-healing system: absorb lipids for regeneration

#### It's mobile!
Insulin will be delivered to cells in need in no time: move through bloodstream, speed up by wasting your own proteins

Please give us the password! Even if the game is not ready, I am curious to try your early alpha.

@kr0meel @leo-barber-dev first alpha 'windows' and 'web' builds on itch! we will debug some nasty things and post there better ones this evening!

This is a very cool idea :smile: Nice work!
I noticed the camera is very hard to control: my suggestion: don't use the mouse four camera control: maybe have the camera locked behind the bot and control the direction of the bot by buttons?

i managed to break out of the blood vessel

@leo-barber-dev not too hard task for now... unfortunately =')

I like the concept, it fits the theme well. Controls issues aside, I like the idea of moving around bumping into stuff to collect it, I just wish there was more stuff! Be it the components for insulin that you're trying to collect, or things that hurt you or are neutral, I wish it traveled through the bounds of the playable area instead of just in smaller streams. It's a good start/prototype though.

hi! cool idea!! i thought that the game was briliant, but tutirial was a bit unclear and its harder to read instructions when you are constantly coving with a blood stream, nonetheless thank you !

Interesting idea, but it's a little hard to move
