Game balance is an issue with my game. I didn't have time to arrange it properly because I lacked of time.\r\rSo, right now game balance is in the hands of randomness... Sometimes the level will be fun and balanced and sometimes you'll just appear and be already dead.\r\rBut I plan on working on the game later and finish it perfectly.\rAdd powerups, rework game balance, game modes, etc... :)"},{"author_name":"(Not) Ivano","author_uid":"29702","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 1:18pm","epoch":1409058780,"text":"Nice Osmos-like game, controls and graphics are just right!"},{"author_name":"Inateno","author_uid":"19976","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 10:22am","epoch":1409134620,"text":"Serisouly an installer ?\rOk I played it, look like spore first phase.\rYou should made a mobile version or make screen bigger on pc because when we are big we cannot move anymore."},{"author_name":"JM-DG","author_uid":"21496","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 12:42pm","epoch":1409229420,"text":"@(Not) Ivano Thank you for your comments.\r\r@Inateno Sorry about the installer. That's what GMS create when you create the application. Next time I'll do a zip.\r\rIt was created with the intention of making it to mobile.
