The premise of the game is pretty interesting and clever but controls and gameplay definitely need some overhaul. I tried to figure out which key activate the buttons on the main menu by pressing all the keys on the keyboard for 10 minutes. It is the "ı" key by the way. It took another 10 minutes or so to figure out how to control the cells. As far as i understand you spin the arrow around the cell and when you press k the cell moves in the arrow's direction. The faster the arrow spins the faster the cell moves and when Beacteriophages see you, game is over. The problem for me is that game is too hard for a game where control scheme is so unusual. Those guys see you right of the bat, and when i died 20 times consecutively i honestly lost the will to play the game anymore. But this is just me. Maybe it could be better if there was some sort of tutorial or the first level could be more handholding to ease the player in. Anyway, i appreciate your creativty, artistic touch and efforts. I wish you luck in your projects!

Thanks for playing, and for the feedback! Yes, the game definitely needs a tutorial, the learning curve is way to steep as is. The idea is that by imitating the behavior of the cells after taking control of them, you can get past the bacteriophages without them attacking you, but the game kinda throws you off the deep end and if you don't figure it out right away, frustration ensues :P
