Cells by kelp
Here is my take on the tiny world theme. Use your god like powers to mutate you colony of cells and let them prevail against the evil red cells.
Click on one of your cells and then select mutation you want to add. Each game tick it will execute one of the mutations. After some time the cells will split. Dead enemies are eaten for extra health.
Mutations:
- Aggression. Move toward the enemy instead of randomly.
- Poison. When this is active the enemy takes more damage when the cells are touching.
Features:
- Awesome programmer art
- Somewhat finished

I'm afraid I didn't have time to make it more challenging. It would be nice if the enemy cells would mutate as well and you would be able to counter it by choosing the right mutations, maybe I'll work on the game again in a few weeks when I have some more time and make it into an actual game.
Otherwise really cool. I've created similar things myself (not in 48 hours).
Interesting idea. It sure had me hooked for a while. I had no chance of winning once both teams had a full 100 cells. They just kept re-splitting faster then I could do anything. Nicely done tho1
A game about me! ;D
I liked the idea of mutations; maybe you could have it so they have side-effects - aggression makes the cell 10% likely to attack his own side or something. There's a lot of scope for making the mutations interact with each other too, I think.
The graphics are totally fine for this game.
Aggression = death
Poison = world peace
Poison with a LITTLE BIT of aggression once populations have risen = VICTORY, GLORIOUS VICTORY!
Nice job, I enjoyed watching the little cells reproduce and float around and kill each other.
