That is really fun!

It was really helpful to have a different sound effect for when you are assimilating vs the enemy, but the sounds were pretty annoying. A softer sound (as in not a "hard beep") would've good I think..

The simulation mode was an awesome touch. Add some calming music and I could sit there and watch it all day :)

This was really quite engaging! I thought it was going to be more of a sit-back-and-watch thing but I really needed to keep an eye on my lil guys and help them along.

Some pitch variations in the sfx would help a lot, they got quite irritating. But otherwise this was really surprising and fun. Well done!

That’s a hell yeah from me brother. Part I enjoyed perhaps the most is how the swarm gets less directly controllable, you can start tearing off chunks and sending them on their merry way in the general direction of delicious smaller swarms.

Really cute game! I love the simple aesthetic, really some color theory at work here, Great job!

Developer

Haha thanks. You can go a long way just by picking a nice palette from lospec.com

Really, really cool and  love the art for it

Straightforward and easy to understand controls. Love the concept and having to manage far away chunks to make sure they don't get swallowed by the red pieces was a good challenge. Great job!

Great tech and control. It is so satisfying when I swallow a huge chunk of enemies and make them mine.

Very relaxing game! Down with the reds. Liked the sepia-style colour scheme and how quickly things can turn on their head in this game. When you think you have enough to take over a big swarm but don't quite and end up losing them all. Finest video game tragedy. Great tech too!
