Thanks for playing Tim, and for your thoughtful feedback!

Decided to go with a color palette from colorhunt.co this time for the visuals and I'm glad I did. I'm not an artist by any shot, so having something pre-curated was helpful. I was lucky to find open license audio assets that matched the art style and theme of the game.

You're absolutely right about the salience of the pellets. The "instructions" "eat-me" and "avoid-me" were shown on the main menu, but only briefly if the user clicked play game straight away. Could have been a visual indicator at game start to show it, since the initial pellets were statically spawned.

Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you for playing Falcon! Ah the instructions about eating the pellets were only shown on the main menu, but it wasn't the best place for it on hindsight! I wasnt able to replicate the replay red screen bug, hopefully it was a once off error with the webbuild!

Thank you for playing Martin! The goal was to submit a simple but complete game this jam. But you're exactly right, I had to resist the urge to add in mechanics and break the promise I set to myself many times :D

Thank you for playing chimerian! Yes the goal was to submit a simple but complete game, so I think we've achieved what we set out to do!

Thank you for playing Chuske, and for lasting till 150 points!
I think thats probably when the viruses dash at high speeds and spawn rates, so its a great level to reach already!

Thank you for playing Callin! Heh I like the squishy clicks too :D

Thank you for playing Guillaume, and for your kind words!

Thank you for playing gabe, and for your kind words :D

Thanks for playing Fox! Yes the goal was to make something that can be published in a day! Glad you liked the Minimalist vibes!

Thank you for playing Obzi! Yes, if possible I always try to make my games playable on mobile :D

Thank you for playing Satinel! Wow 250 is quite high!
Decided to join this jam towards the tail end and wanted something that ticked most boxes without needing a lot of time, so your sentiment is spot-on!

Thank you for playing buny! Yes really grateful to people who make open license sound effects!

Thanks for playing mathias! Glad you found the game easy to play!

Thanks for playing Iron, and 3 time at that!! :D
Saw too that there are several games about microbes!

Thanks for playing mrtnldm, and for your kind words!

Hi Reunited! Thanks so much for this!!!
I quickly realised the problem after your comment, we swapped out the game logo just before submission and it was blocking mouse inputs,

Fixed a critical bug because of your feedback! We hope that you can try our very simple submission again :D

A very big thank you!
