Hey ! I have been playing it, it is really interesting and fits the theme very well. Do you have some mathematics/physics background? 

I enjoyed trying to find a good strategy to contamine all of the blobs (i only manage to reach about 95%)! 

Nice  & clean game!

Wow, Thank you. I never ever imagined one positive comment will feel so good. Thank you. 

I have high school math/physics background. This video was a huge inspiration for the project and it also explains most of the math in my game if you're interested. Also I reached 100% only once and that was by pure luck.

Ok i ended watching things on this channel, will spend the whole day on it (let's say this afternoon). Will check your video also; thanks for the link!

Your game could actually be  easily turned into a good toy model for modeling epidemics so that people understand it better than just with static data, especially if without any statistics background.

Well that's because I was also inspired by this 3b1b video.  And I think his model does way better job at expalining epidemics than my game. I just took the mechanic and tried to make it fun.
