Amoeba Sheba by DissidentDan
---Update---
I added an Android version. You can install an Android .apk file using these instructions: http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/beginner/install-apk-files-on-android/.
The Android build has only been tested on a LG Nexus 4, so your mileage may vary.
--Controls--
hold down left mouse
or
use arrow keys
If you like the game, check out my web site at http://www.dissidentlogic.com for my other stuff.
-----UI-----
green blips: success
red blips: failure
blue blips: remaining time
You play as a ball. There are other balls. Everything is gravitationally attracted to everything else.
----GOAL----
Your goal is to get balls of the same color to collide and merge. Balls of the same color will annihilate each other. Balls of different colors will merge into a ball of combined color. When the blue blips at the bottom are gone, you are done for, and the screen will turn red.
----MECHANICS DETAILS----
You get 10 seconds added to your clock if you match balls of the same color. You get 5 seconds subtracted if you match balls of the wrong color. A new ball will spawn every 10 seconds, or for every ball that you merge.
-----OTHER-----
I plan on doing an Android port very soon here.

Nice. I like the color mixing effect. Would look nice with a star field or some other background. Mine also runs on android. Check it out!

I can't get the android version to run on my nexus 7. I get a purple screen or a black screen with blue bars that turns red after a countdown.

Sorry to hear that, vandriver. If you're getting a black screen with no colored circles, it seems like it has a problem rendering to texture, which is surprising. The purple screen tends to happen if you task switch or rotate between portrait and landscape mode. The joys of heterogenous devices.

Same as vandriver on Nexus 4

It's a clever little game, but the controls right now feel a bit touchy on pc. I felt like I had a little more control with arrow keys, but still some more "stickiness" to the balls would help. It's also a design that I think lends itself more to an infinite mode than "ten second" mode, but maybe if I was better at it I'd argue differently :P

The visual of the balls merging is really cool. Without the time limit this would be really relaxing. I played the windows version but I imagine this would be even better on a touch device. Great Job!

Nice idea! I really wish there were a background, it was difficult to keep a point of reference sometimes.

Wow, I love the effect! It's pretty much an interactive lava lamp! The controls is a little sensitive, I'll have to give this a go on an android and see if it plays better.

I love this game. It reminds me of osmose ( the game )

Runs fine on my nexus4. It's pretty hard to control the ball though. But it's fun nevertheless!

It's difficult to control (i'm using mouse). The idea is great. I got a bug, the texture disapeared. Don't know if it's just me, but there is no text :/

necmelt, there is no text anywhere in the game. The only visuals are the balls and little, rectangular blips that count the time (blue), your successes (green), and your misses (blue).

Great color mixing effect, but PC controls really could have used some improvement. Ended up playing on keyboard, but still felt quite uncomfortable. The 10-seconds theme also felt a little tacked-on, I felt like the game could benefit from not having the time mechanic.

Fantastic game! It works great on my Samsung Galaxy S3 (with a purple rectangle when I rotate the device). It would be awesome if this was a completed Android game!

This is a pretty neat concept of matching two colors and the effects are very good!

Tried to play on my galaxy nexus, got stuck on a black screen with a blue bar at the bottom that randomly changed width. Looks interesting from the screenshots though. :c

I see blue rects at the bottom and later red and green ones at the top but other than that there is nothing so I have no clue... Windows ver
