I'm not sure if the mechanics are obvious to someone who hasn't played Osmos, so some instructions would be handy. Too bad you didn't have time to put in the ejection of your own mass to gain speed; that's one of the key things that make Osmos so tense at times."},{"author_name":"Orni","author_uid":"10771","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 11:39am","epoch":1346067240,"text":"audio and more effects would make this game superb - feels like OSMO (or however that game is called)\r\rgood job"},{"author_name":"Folis","author_uid":"2494","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 1:25pm","epoch":1346073600,"text":"Pretty close to the game Osmos, I like that concept though!

I worked out what to do and it was strangely addicting, although sound definitely wouldn't have gone amiss, as well as some extra game mechanics - powerups?"},{"author_name":"mejf","author_uid":"15171","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 10:00pm","epoch":1346104500,"text":"Yeah, audio would have been nice!

Not being able to tell which other bacteria you can eat and not really being able to determine the direction you accelerate in made it kind of difficult to judge movement. The idea is familiar and solid, though; good job for your first time!"},{"author_name":"Devaki","author_uid":"15954","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 10:21pm","epoch":1346105760,"text":"Nice game design! but i find the control a little bit weird.

I agree with madpew.. it would be awesome with some music.. and sometimes you start and die..maybe your random position needs an adjustment.. xD"},{"author_name":"Accidental Rebel","author_uid":"5728","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 12:07am","epoch":1346112120,"text":"Being a person who played Osmos, I had no problem adapting to the controls. Although the thrust was a little too much than I wanted. As for me, there was no music at all. Not even sound effects. HTML5 problem, perhaps?"},{"author_name":"Charlie Hadden","author_uid":"9445","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 12:23am","epoch":1346113080,"text":"I really enjoyed this. The controls threw me off for the first few times due to the lack of instructions, but once I worked it out it was actually really good.\r\rIt also made me have to play differently to most games (I'm normally fairly run and gun), which was a nice change. My best was wave 7."},{"author_name":"yettatore","author_uid":"15358","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 1:47am","epoch":1346118120,"text":"Interesting game!
