I like the idea but I'm not sure what everything does, like the nematocyte I couldn't figure out what it does. 

It's quite fun to see your entity grow up though, and the music is a nice touch. It loops a bit sometimes, but still a nice one.

Well done!

What is the goal of the game? What does the different cells do? :)

There isnt any goal really, its intended to be a spin on the incremental and automation game genres, but idk if adding some sort of goal would be better. the cells rn are just the construction cell for building off of, the mouth cells for catching food, and the stinger cell for defense. thanks for the feedback!

I liked the concept, if something, and I'm being very nitpicky here, a little more variety on the sound and music would feel great. Also, I think there might be a bug where, if I glide around a white pill close enough, I can raise the count without actually taking it

The controls are not very convenient and I don't understand how to build :(

To build you just choose one of the three cells (numbers 1,2, and 3 on the keyboard), click the cell you want it to attach to, and drag to where you want to place it. Idk what you mean by the controls though, can you specify what the issue is? thanks for the feedback btw

I mean that building doesn’t always work - sometimes I click on all the cells and nothing happens. Maybe I just don’t understand the building conditions. As for the controls, I mean: Movement feels inconvenient, especially when trying to rotate a cell. When zoomed in, the cell goes off-screen.

for the first part, the only user issue i can think of is that you can only build more cells off of the building cells (the large circles with a green stripe down the middle). ill probably add a menu and tutorial soon. I'm fairly confident its not a glitch but idk. As for the second part do you think that the rotation is too slow or something? If you mean rotating individual cells then i don't really know what to say, the cells are meant to rotate by themselves and are set to always face whatever cell they are connected to. Sorry for the long thread im genuinely confused, and thanks for your patience

Yes, the rotation is too slow, and I didn't know about 'building cells', so a tutorial would be very helpful. And, as others have already noted, adding goals would be nice.

Also, thank you for paying attention to people's feedback :)
