I love the style and the basic mechanic. I felt a little confused about the objective and it took me a minute to understand what I was doing but I like creating the OGLA's and watching them eat up the stuff.

Very very neat and well though game.
You need to eat through all the stuff/planet (though it was bacteria at first and someone having fun beaming lasers at them through a microscope)

My poor Oglas cannot catch a break! This is an excellent project, I hope you feel inspired to keep working on this sort of thing. Graphics and mechanics and pacing are working together very nicely here to create a well-tuned biological aesthetic. Very effective.

Interesting concept. Feels more like I'm looking through a microscope and zapping bacteria.

Since you didn't do Audio I'd recommend taking it off the list if possible.

Really interesting and fun idea. I don't see the point of the time but I liked just looking at the OGLAs going about.

Lovely art style and general concept. A touch confusing to start - but well done overall.

Pretty cool stuff. I feel like there might be more depth to it which can't be fully appreciated in the few minutes you spend playing.

That was a unique and quite fun game. Love the organic look and graphical effects :)
Nice to see more strategy games here!

It's so cool watching (and affecting) the game as it simulates things in a very natural way. And I actually really like how you can interpret it as being a planet OR the lens of a microscope. Great work!

Felt a bit random at first, but I ended up liking it.

It is worthy to spend some time playing to learn the basics (Admittedly, I was very bad at it though).

Amazing concept and design.

I tend to dislike games where you have to click all the time but this one kinda works for me :D

Pretty cool concept, I wasn't fully sure what I was doing, but it was pretty to look at!

A cool simulation. The game is not that interesting, but that doesn't really matter now does it!

Great job.

I got level 7, 156s.
Very tough, and somewhat confusing, but it seems promising.
