I saw another game that goes with the same concept, but yours is more fluid :)
Well, I really missed sounds and the hitbox of the menu could be larger!

Pretty cool! It really reminded me of the game Osmo, and although I'm not sure how it ties into the theme It certainly looks nice.

Looks really nice! When I got to level 6 it seemed like all the cells started clumping up on the top and bottom edges, which made it difficult to get the greens without getting reds, too.

I like the animations and how the orbiting balls behave when you move around. Very fluid. I wish you could have changed the sprite for the one you are controlling, sometimes with all the balls floating around, it can be confusing which one is yours.

Very nice. I could play this game for hours.

A little frustrating until I realised what I was meant to be doing. Very pretty and I like the way the spheres move and animate. Pity about the sounds, even some cheaply generated ones would have been welcome.

Funny game. The style reminded me of Osmos. At first I thought that stage 3+ was very hard but then I noticed that I could push the bigger bubbles around when I move slowly :D
Really fun experience. Too bad you have no sound and no real goal to achieve.

Alright! Very nice, I liked the controls and the orbiting physics is well done. I had a really hard time at first because I couldn't figure out which one I was, try making that more clear to start off. Very similar to Osmos, but not quite a sophisticated. Very good for a 48 hour game though!
