Ramps up in difficulty pretty quick.  One gripe: a game with only keyboard controls shouldn't require click to continue, maybe once for the title screen to give the window focus, but after that I should be able to hit a key to continue, especially in this kind of hardcore &quot;one-more-try&quot; type game, you're interrupting the flow by having someone leave the keyboard to grab the mouse."},{"author_name":"True Valhalla","author_uid":"2063","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 5:48am","epoch":1335246180,"text":"Simplistic, but visually appealing.

Controls were a bit wonky, and it eventually got a a point where there weren't enough color-changing pellets to even stand a chance (don't know whether that was intentional or not)."},{"author_name":"MrPhil","author_uid":"165","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 7:48pm","epoch":1335382980,"text":"Spot on with the theme, gets hard fast."},{"author_name":"Zillix","author_uid":"2460","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 1:30am","epoch":1335489900,"text":"Really minimal and neat!

Gameplay becomes an interesting minefield--somewhat reminiscent of bullet-hell shooters.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Kinda wish there were some alternative to instant-a-death, but seems like this is likely just a matter of preference.\r<br\/>Would also prefer it if a differently colored enzyme wouldn't suddenly appear in front of the white blood cell while it's charging full speed; some sort of forewarning of the enzyme's appearance (and future location) or some placement avoidance of a radius around the player's position (perhaps with some consideration of current velocity) would be a nice subtle touch."},{"author_name":"heardtheword","author_uid":"3934","time":"May 15, 2012 @ 1:17am","epoch":1337044320,"text":"Thanks for all the great comments! I'm going to update the game with some of your suggestions. I especially like the idea of having an indicator of where the enzymes will show up.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>My time was kind of limited over the weekend otherwise I might have been able to take it a step forward. Instadeath was something I tried removing but it became too easy so I'll have to figure out a balance. Thanks again to everyone who commented and voted!!"}],"images":["ld23\/3934-e937dd32fd37755ade90a205700c3ac9.jpg","ld23\/3934-c43e971bfcaf294bb698e650ae8408a0.jpg","ld23\/3934-9732e19f9816ed8962dced8544fb5bfb.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/matttuttle.com\/enzyme-frenzy\/","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/MattTuttle\/EnzymeFrenzy","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"30185","g_author":"3934","g_event":"LD23","g_eventkey":"10","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"30215","g_title":"Enzyme Frenzy","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"211","g_commentcount":"15","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/123793\/3934-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/123793\/3934-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/123793\/3934-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"You are a white blood cell and you need to eradicate viruses by eating enzymes.<\/p>","title":"Enzyme Frenzy"}
