I don't quite understand what to collect here, there are too many viruses.

Me too. For 40 seconds I saw 10 viruses and 0 proteins

I think sometimes the protein spawns outside the view, potentially even unreachable. However the next protein only starts after collecting the first. It's fun when it works though! I swear, I saw a protein once.

@jipark @tweekus @thejackimonster Thank you everyone for playing!
The proteins are the green cell that is not moving. The viruses are the ones moving around.

It is what @thejackimonster said. The protein was spawning off screen.
I didn't see at the time that I needed to specify the screen size manually on the game upload's page.
This has been fixed now. And the game should be working as intended.

I liked the idea. Very few proteins appear (1 in 60 seconds).

@baluj Thank you for playing!
That's so strange.
Everytime a protein's collected another should be respawning.
And a protein should be spawning within the screen size border.
