Well done on a good submission!

Cool concept, works well. An indication of when the game is paused would be nice, I hit the pause key by accident and then was wondering why it stopped working of all the sudden lol.

Fun concept and great use of the theme!  Enjoyed the music as well

I really enjoyed this game. The music is really nice and fits the game really well. It felt like the climax of a dramatic movie scene lol. Great job!

This had very soothing music. It reminds me of Flow on Playstation (that flower game).

The first time I tried it, I couldn't move at all, but that was fixed after I refreshed the browser. 

I was a bit confused by the mechanics of when I could or couldn't split. I just kept collecting dots and checking R occasionally

Nice game. Shame I don't remember my biology classes at all. I hope I would understand better what is going on) but it was so long ago.

I was scratching my head trying to remember 20 year old knowledge from school :D

What a fun and interesting idea!

Nice concept and well executed! Gentle and relaxing game to play, great to have the instructions on the menu screen, really helped me pick up and play straightaway.
Personally, I kept getting confused by the movement controls. Intuitively, I kept pressing A and D and expecting to rotate and W and S to be forward and back.  Might just be me though.

If you keep working on this, perhaps be interesting to have more competition for resources, making it harder to reach your population target and needing some strategy to get there.

Great work!

The music had me feeling like I was Paul Atreides but meanwhile I'm just making some dude sneeze. 🤧Overall a pretty chill experience! Maybe that's the vibe you were going for, but I personally would have been tempted to make it eventually ramp up more like Vampire Survivors as the body eventually reacts and attempts to fight the disease. Great use of the theme!

Cool game! Very dramatic music, I felt like my little cell was fighting for its life. Also, mitochondria is the power house of the cell

Great fit for the theme! Reminded me of Agar.io. Well done :)

Submitted(+2)

Very in theme!! i think the music was good but didn't sit well with the type of game, like it didn't match in my personal opinion.  i think i would make it so the character grows bigger and eats bigger things, i loved the idea of reproducing to collect dots faster was a cool idea!

Submitted(+2)

this was really cool, I think it fits the theme really well.
I would have liked if creating minions helps me eat the bigger cells but overall this was really fun.
Also banger soundtrack xD

Thanks for the feedback! Using the minions to attack the bigger cells was part of the original idea, but we didn't get that far.

Fits the theme well! Reminds me of Spore kind of.

My main suggestion would be to either make it a little harder, or have some kind of scaling difficulty system.
